Nexus 7 Magnet Sensor |
Apparently, Google’s Nexus 7 tablet has a secret feature that it does not want other people (especially the good guys at Apple)
to know. A YouTuber has posted a video showing how the tablet puts its
display to sleep once it comes to contact with a magnet. You cannot
help but think this feature is similar to iPad’s Smart Cover.
The functionality works by gliding a magnet along the bezel by the
bottom left of the device. Such a feature is rarely found on Android
tablets, even those that sport magnetometers, which are used for
e-compasses.
It remains a mystery whether this feature would hint about Asus’
coming up with its own version of a Smart Cover for Google Nexus 7.
