One of the most distinctive aspects of the iPhone 14 Pro is the Dynamic Island, Apple’s “solution” to end the characteristic notch that has accompanied the Cupertino smartphone since generation X, when the home button disappeared, the screen began to occupy practically the entire front and Face ID was replaced by Touch ID. We have already talked on occasion about how paradoxical it was, because some solutions appeared in the Apple App Store that tried to “disguise” the presence of a notch on the screen, and at the same time we could see applications appearing on Google Play that they created a false notches in Android terminals.
In the current generation, Dynamic Island can only be found in the Pro and Pro Max models, but we hope that it will be extended to other models in the iPhone 15, which means the definitive end of the notch. And at the same time, as was the case with the jump from the home button to the notch, we could also see apps on Google Play for Android that allow us to mimic the presence of Dynamic Island on non-Apple smartphones.
Now it’s one thing to “draw” a dynamic island on the screen and quite another is a real leap from Dynamic Island to the world of Android, something we didn’t expect at first, but it looks like it’s coming to fruition. And it really makes a lot of sense, since perforations on the screen to house the front camera are more than common in this ecosystem, so they try to integrate in a fairly organic way into the design of smartphones from many manufacturers.
So, Xiaomi 13 Lite aims to be the first Android smartphone with Dynamic Island. The origin of the given information is video Posted by leaker Sudhanshu Ambhore showing the unboxing of the yet unreleased terminal and its implementation. In this video, which is only 15 seconds long, we can see several times the screen of the device with a dynamic island located in the center of the top of the screen, in the space normally occupied by the perforation of the front camera.
Recall that the Xiaomi 13 was presented at the end of last year and that none of the models then used this design element, until now exclusive to Apple. That, we’ll have to wait for the Mobile World Congress 2023 celebration, an event where the rumored Xiaomi 13 Lite will be unveiled. If so, it is possible that more manufacturers will be invited to explore this design format, especially if the Xiaomi terminal is well received by users.
