Android Auto Update to Bring Smart Replies Feature, Digital Car Key, Always-On Music Button, More

Android Auto will soon get a series of new features in future updates. After the update is released, users will have the option to use the touch screen in the vehicle to quickly reply to messages. Early Android Auto users could only choose to reply to messages with voice. In addition, Google also announced that Android Auto can now be set to start automatically, and users can use their Android smartphones to lock, unlock and even open compatible BMW cars. These changes and other new features for the entire Android platform were announced on Wednesday.

In the latest post on the Keyword blog about Android-based updates, Google announced that it will add some features to Android Auto to improve its in-car application. One of these includes the ability to reply to a text message via an on-screen message prompt or by creating a custom response. This smart reply feature will be launched soon and will use Google Assistant to make better replies.

In addition, Android Auto will also get an always-on music playback button. This will always be visible and will be placed on the home screen. Another feature that Google will add to its car app is the ability to search for music from any media app in Android Auto through the user’s voice. “Just tap the new search icon and say your favorite artist or song to listen to it easily,” the blog post mentioned.

Another feature that Android Auto users in some countries/regions will like is the ability to lock, unlock, and start compatible BMW cars. Known as a digital car key, it is currently only available for Google Pixel 6, Google Pixel 6 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21. It is worth noting that Apple also introduced the digital car key function for the iPhone last year, and started to introduce it for the new iPhone earlier this year.

Currently, Apple’s digital car keys are limited to certain luxury cars. As mentioned earlier, the latest Android Auto feature is released along with other new features of the Android platform, including family bell reminders via Google Assistant, the new Google Photos feature, etc.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
