- Google is working on a new media casting feature for Pixel tablets.
- The feature would make media casting as easy as placing your phone in front of the tablet.
- It’s unclear if this feature works by using the Pixel Tablet’s ultra-wideband chip.
If you own a Google Pixel Tablet and a Pixel phone, then you have the ability to cast media from your phone to your tablet. While the function has always there, it requires you to follow a few steps. But Google may be working on a new feature that could greatly simplify the process.
Mishaal Rahman, with the help of AssembleDebug on X (formerly Twitter), appears to have discovered an introduction screen for a new feature for Pixel Tablets. That feature is a new way to cast media to your tablet from your phone. Based on the animation, this feature would allow you to cast media simply by holding your phone in front of the tablet.
