Search in one, find in another

Motorola connects Android and Windows with enhanced AI support

Smart Connect is Motorola's collective name for how phones, tablets, and computers can collaborate. In the new version, the solution has received new features and AI-based search to more easily find files regardless of the device.

Already last year at the MWC fair, Motorola and Lenovo presented Smart Connect and now the possibilities have been expanded. Motorola, of course, manufactures phones with Android as the operating system while the parent company Lenovo makes Android tablets and computers with Windows. The fact that these devices do not have the same operating system is no obstacle to deeper collaboration. 

At the fair in Barcelona, we test how a computer, mobile, and tablet can be used as more or less one unit and it starts with a voice command. By asking the phone with your voice to open an app on the computer, app streaming starts, so that the phone's Instagram app opens on the Windows computer where we can interact with it using the mouse as usual on the computer. We also get to see how the computer's touchpad can be used to interact with all three devices and control them as one unit, with the help of the mouse pointer which can be moved freely from screen to screen.

New in the solution is, among other things, a new AI search. It allows you to find files regardless of which of the connected devices the file is on and without knowing details such as the file name or exact search term. This means you can search for, for example, a restaurant receipt without knowing what the restaurant was called or remembering when you were there.

The new version of Smart Connect will be available in the coming weeks in both the Microsoft Store for Lenovo computers and the Google Play Store for mobiles and tablets.
