[아시아타임즈=김창수 기자] An Android developer has recorded “Dynamic Island”, which Apple has applied to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, as a theme in Xiaomi’s App Market, and the industry’s attention is focused on the background.

The dynamic island is the method chosen by Apple instead of the “design notch” at the top of the display. The camera module is cut out as an island around the camera module, a small control window appears, and the overall size changes. A theme similar to Dynamic Island was recently registered on the Xiaomi App Market, and this remains a rare case of copying iOS functions to Android.
iPhone Dynamic Island, Android smartphone?

According to the industry on the 14th, at the presentation of the new iPhone 14 series product announced by Apple on the 7th (local time), Dynamic Island applied to the Pro and Pro Max models was selected as the most striking feature.
The iPhone has stayed true to the notch design with the top of the display with the “M” shaped camera lens from the “iPhone X” in 2017. When viewing videos and photos in full screen, some screens have been cut and some network users have compared it to “M-shaped hair loss”.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models have replaced the notch with an always-on display that Apple has called Dynamic Island. The existing camera module part is replaced with a perforation design and the surrounding part is also used as a display.
Dynamic Island shows the status of music playback, timer and map app on the display. If you receive a call while you are working on another activity, you can use it to answer the call while continuing the existing activity. In particular, the part that made multitasking possible was chosen as the ‘idea’ as the exhibition area changed according to the situation.
When a new feature that didn’t exist before became a hot topic, Android developers with the motto of versatility and openness moved quickly. Recently, foreign IT media such as Android Police and Sam Mobile introduced a 10-second video uploaded by YouTuber Vaibhav Jain.
In the video, an Android smartphone was used to implement an always-on display such as the iPhone’s dynamic island, play music, and demonstrate zoom in / zoom out of the display. A developer has been found to have implemented a Dynamic Island-like theme on a Xiaomi smartphone using the “MIUI” Android custom firmware.
Jain, a YouTuber who introduced the video, said: “This theme, ‘Grumpy UI’, is currently pending approval and supports Chinese only.”

An Android plugin that mimics Dynamic Island has already been released. On the 13th, a national whistleblower “Ranzuk” posted on his blog: “A developer has released an Android version of the Smart Island plug-in.” “The smart island changes shape so that users can receive information more intuitively, such as receiving calls and text messages,” said Lanzk. “It supports various apps and even allows users to manually adjust the bar.”
In this way, the industry is showing an interesting reaction to the use of a new feature applied to the iPhone as a kind of meme ‘stealing’ it quickly from Android.
Overseas media ‘Android Authority’ said: “This is the first time anyone has tried to copy Apple’s functionality to an Android device.” “The smartphone trend is already moving away from the ‘top cutout’ design, but people who don’t want to buy an iPhone can use this theme. It would be nice to use it from experience.”
