Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro, which launched just a few months ago in India, has a feature called Easy Projection. This feature lets you project your phone screen to a larger screen (like a TV or projector) without any wires. It also offers the option to use it in phone mode or desktop mode. In phone mode, it simply mirrors your smartphone’s screen but the desktop mode is what makes this feature more interesting. With desktop mode enabled, the phone’s screen becomes a touchpad and you can even connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse for navigation. The interface is like what you would see on a desktop computer with an option to launch apps, change desktop wallpaper and manage your files. The best part: you can still use your phone independently as a smartphone while it powers a desktop experience wirelessly.

This is a feature that is theoretically available on all devices with Bluetooth version 5.0. With this feature, you can have your device (phone/tablet/laptop) stream wireless audio to two connected speakers at the same time. Both the Bluetooth speakers need not be the same. Considering Samsung introduced this feature two years ago on the Galaxy S8, we think it’s high time it became the norm. There are several third party apps that can add this functionality to phones but none are as slick as having the same built into the Bluetooth settings.
