Google‘s Fast Pair feature is set to debut on smartphones soon according to decompiled data assessed by 9to5Google. The data suggests the quick setup feature will be included on Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S23 which is set to debut on February 1st.
Fast Pair is a feature developed by Google to make it easier to set up new Android devices. The feature works by allowing one Android device to detect another device that hasn’t been set up yet. When this happens, a Fast Pair pop-up menu will appear, allowing users to follow on-screen steps to move their data from their old device to the new one. This can include contacts, photos, and other personal information.
Currently, Fast Pair supports headphones and smartwatches, but support for trackers and styluses is coming soon. When setting up a Samsung device, for example, users can use Samsung’s Smart Switch app to move their data. The feature is similar to how QR codes are used to set up other devices, with the user scanning a code to initiate the data transfer.
The Galaxy S23 series launch will be a convenient time to roll out the feature, as many people will likely be upgrading their phones to the latest Galaxy S23 models. Since the Galaxy models run on Android-based OneUI, the feature is expected to work similarly to how Wear OS watches appear on Fast Pair, making it a smooth and seamless process for users.
