Last month we learned that the upcoming Android 13 will be codenamed Tiramasu and will bring along new themes, built-in QR code scanning, and easier sharing features among others. And now, a famous analyst has revealed that the next-gen Android will also include a feature that has long been present in Apple iPhones.
According to Mishaal Rehman, Google may add a brightness control feature for the camera flash which will let you adjust its brightness while being used as a torch. This feature is already present in iOS devices and even Samsung offers it in their One UI overlay.
However, there are a few caveats as not all Android devices will be able to implement this feature with just an Android 13 update. This is due to the flash brightness control requiring a hardware interface that not all phones would have installed with their camera packs. Meaning that it may be so that only future Android smartphones may get this feature.
Mishaal Rehman has also stated that the Android 13’s system-level torch light intensity option would likely debut on upcoming Pixel phones that are expected to be unveiled at Google’s I/O and then eventually trickle down to Android phone makers that don’t offer this feature in their interface overlay. So it appears that a lot of Android users might have to wait a while even after the launch of Android 13 to be able to utilize this feature.
