Google is going to introduce a feature named ‘desktop Mode’ similar to Samsung’s Dex and Motorola’s Smart Connect. This new feature has the capacity to turn your smartphone into a computer. It can give you the experience of a PC-like interface on a larger screen.

What Is Desktop Mode?

These features enable users to transform their smartphones into full-fledged computers. By connecting your phone to a larger display, along with a mouse and keyboard, you can access a desktop-like interface and use it like a PC.

Some companies even offer the option to connect the phone wirelessly to displays which have wireless connectivity. Also some of the desktop modes will allow you to use your phone’s screen as a trackpad and give cursor control without an external mouse.

Google’s Desktop Mode

According to media reports, Android 16, is set to roll out to eligible users next month during the ongoing Google I/O event. However, Google’s Desktop Mode is expected to be launched with Android 17. Experts suggest that Google might unveil this feature along with its new Pixel lineup. Reports also suggest that Google gave a hint of this feature in 2023, and may launch soon.

Google’s Desktop Mode will  also come with multitasking capabilities, like resizable windows similar to the Chrome OS interface. Chrome OS is Google’s operating system used in Chromebooks.
