iPhone 14 Pro's 6 New Features Have Been Used by Android

Facts About the New Features of iPhone 14 Pro

In fact, there are some features in the iPhone 14 Pro that many Android phones have been using for several years now. Here are some of the iPhone 14 Pro features we've seen on Android.

1. Always-On Display

Finally, the iPhone 14 Pro also features an always-on display (AOD: Always-On Display), allowing users to see their time and notifications at a glance. This feature first appeared on Android phones back in 2016 on the Samsung Galaxy S7.

And before that, the first phone to use an always-on display was the Nokia 6303 released in 2008. After that, many Nokia Symbian OS and OLED displays like the Nokia N8 all had AOD. However, Apple's AOD feature is different from other devices in that it is the ability to lower the refresh rate of the screen down to 1Hz.

In doing so, AOD will minimize the impact on iPhone 14 Pro's battery life, even when the entire screen is on (instead of just a portion like most Android phones). This ensures that iPhone users still get great battery life, even though the screen never turns off.

2. Camera 48MP

The last time the iPhone upgraded the resolution for the camera was in 2015 when the iPhone 6s had a 12MP sensor, higher than the 8MP camera on the iPhone 6.

Although camera resolution is not a decisive factor in camera quality, Apple's increase in resolution is still interesting news for iFans. Apple's iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max duo can boast a pooled pixel size of 2.44µm - equivalent to a pixel size of 1.22µm before implementing the pixel binning algorithm. However, this pixel size is still smaller than the huge 50.3MP camera of Xiaomi 12S, which has a 1-inch sensor with 1.6µm pixel size.

Some might argue that Apple's Photonic Engine image processor will make a difference. However, other manufacturers, such as Samsung, Google and Xiaomi, are also making great strides with their computational photography technologies, producing many stunning images even in the same lighting conditions. feebleness.

3.Front Camera with Autofocus

Most smartphones do not have autofocus for the front-facing selfie camera because the small space for the front camera is not suitable for placing the complex components needed to control focus. Although Apple has finally introduced this feature to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, Android users have been experiencing autofocus for the selfie camera for several years now.

Samsung first introduced autofocus to the selfie camera with the Galaxy S8 in 2017. Google followed suit, allowing the Pixel 3's front-facing camera to autofocus in 2018. Regardless of the manufacturers. Others, like Huawei, Xiaomi and Motorola, don't have this feature, but it took Apple years to bring it to the iPhone.

4. Action

In addition to the autofocus front camera, Apple also introduced Action mode for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. While there's no word on exactly how this feature works, it's highly likely that it uses optical and digital image stabilization to ensure users get a stable video image even when recorded in bumpy conditions.

However, action mode is not new to Android smartphones. Samsung Galaxy S10 launched in 2019 has Super Steady video recording function, and even the mid-range Vivo V25 Pro has Ultra Stabilization.

5. Accident Detection

Recently, Apple has focused a lot on factors related to health and safety. In addition to the health and safety features introduced in the Apple Watch or the SOS emergency messaging feature via satellite communication on the iPhone 14, the Apple family is also integrating accident detection into the next generation. Latest iPhones.

However, OnStar, the General Motors company that provides car services such as navigation and security, has launched the OnStar Guardian app in 2021. The app is available for both iOS and Android and has the ability to detect problems using your phone's built-in sensors to automatically call emergency services.

Even the Pixel 4a, launched in 2020, has auto accident detection. However, Apple does confirm it has added an accelerometer to measure sudden changes in speed and direction, along with other sensors like barometers to improve crash detection accuracy.

6. Processor 4nm - A16 Bionic

Apple claims that the A16 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14 Pro is the most powerful smartphone processor ever. However, besides a chart that doesn't provide any information except that it performs better than the A13 Bionic released in 2019, Apple only claims it is 40% faster than the competition. So we don't know how much better it is than last year's A15 Bionic chip.

Apple says that the power and efficiency of the A16 Bionic chip is the result of the 4nm process used to manufacture it. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which appeared in the Galaxy S22 series and a number of other Android flagships released in 2022, also used this process early on.

Moreover, Qualcomm released an updated version of this flagship chip, which is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+, and a near-premium version called Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in May 2022. Both use the same 4nm process.

And although Apple claims the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the fastest smartphone ever, we still need to confirm that through actual tests when holding iPhone 14 devices in our hands.

Conclusion: Is iPhone 14 Pro as groundbreaking as Apple advertises?

Apple (and many other companies) is very good at marketing its devices. So they can make existing features on Android devices new and innovative in their presentations. After all, the Apple family has spent millions of dollars on its global marketing efforts.

Apple has some exciting new features for the iPhone 14 Pro like satellite emergency SOS messaging and Dynamic Island, but most of it takes advantage of and improves on what's already on the market. A lot of tech features have been on Android for years, but when Apple implements those technologies, it makes them sleek, new, and exciting, at least for Apple users.
