Screen timeout isn't new...

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Correct, but it being adaptive is. I have my screen timeout set for 5 minutes. If it's adaptive, when I set my phone down it will recognize that I'm no longer using it and turn off the screen before it gets to 5 minutes.

But that's not new. Adaptive screen when at my ear or when I put it face down had been a thing for years.

It's been here since the Galaxy S3 days...

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I might be wrong, but when you put it face down or near your ear, it doesn't lock the device no?

This one would lock the device as if screen timed out.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't set it down to watch a video then.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

That... would also be part of the adaptive suite. So instead of your phone turning the screen off after being "inactive" it would stay on
