Philips Hue Lights Unveil New SpatialAware Function for Improved Immersive Experience
### Philips Hue Unveils SpatialAware and New Video Doorbell Features
In January, Philips Hue revealed a groundbreaking mode named SpatialAware, aimed at enhancing the smart lighting experience. This feature is now officially available, together with new functionalities for users of the Philips Hue video doorbell.
#### SpatialAware: A New Chapter in Smart Lighting
The SpatialAware mode is included in the most recent update to the Philips Hue app for iPhone and iPad. This feature empowers users to scan their rooms, allowing the app to intelligently allocate lighting scenes from the Scene Gallery throughout the area. The objective is to foster a more organic and immersive lighting experience.
To activate SpatialAware, users are required to remaster their current lighting scenes. Presently, half of the available scenes have been upgraded to leverage this immersive mode. The Philips Hue Bridge Pro is necessary to operate these new lighting scenes, and the room scanning procedure generally takes under 10 minutes. Importantly, the feature works with devices that have and do not have LiDAR technology.
For further details on SpatialAware, users can check the [Philips Hue support page](https://www.philips-hue.com/content/hue/ca/en.supportarticlepage.000017.html).
#### Upgrades for Hue Video Doorbells
The latest app update also introduces two key features for Hue video doorbell users:
1. **Simulated Video Call**: When the Hue video doorbell is rung, users can now receive a simulated video call, enabling them to view and engage with visitors at their door.
2. **Pre-Recorded Responses**: Users can choose pre-recorded messages to play automatically when they cannot respond to the door, enhancing convenience and security.
These features are designed to elevate the overall user experience, simplifying home security management through smart technology.
#### Conclusion
To take full advantage of the new SpatialAware and video doorbell features, users can download the latest version of the Philips Hue app from the App Store. The Philips Hue Bridge Pro can be purchased as a standalone upgrade or bundled with Philips Hue smart lights. Philips Hue remains a top choice for smart home solutions, providing easy integration with Apple Home products, Siri control, and various automation capabilities.

Galaxy S27 Set to Showcase Dramatic Overhaul Integrating Qi2 Magnet Technology
Samsung is said to be exploring a major redesign for its next Galaxy S27 smartphone, likely adjusting the camera configuration to support Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging. This modification would align Samsung’s leading model with the magnetic charging features found in Apple’s MagSafe technology. The existing camera setup on Samsung devices hinders the placement of the essential magnets, leading to the consideration of a redesign. Nevertheless, high production expenses might discourage Samsung from executing these alterations, potentially resulting in a design resembling earlier models. If achieved, the redesign would facilitate magnetic charging without the need for additional cases and improve accessory compatibility. Official confirmation from Samsung is anticipated by early 2027.
AirDrop Sharing Expands to Additional Devices Beyond Pixel and Galaxy Smartphones
The functionality is now showing up on smartphones from manufacturers like Oppo and Vivo.
What you should know:
– Quick Share with AirDrop compatibility is finally broadening its reach from just Pixel and Galaxy phones to additional Android devices.
– Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra have begun to receive AirDrop sharing support.
– You must turn on AirDrop visibility on your iPhone for Android devices to recognize and exchange files effortlessly.
Google added the capability for sharing files through Android’s Quick Share using Apple’s AirDrop to its Pixel phones last year, and it appears that the company is at last extending this feature to more Android devices.
Since Google rolled out Quick Share with AirDrop support on the Pixel 10 series, we’ve been anticipating its appearance on more phones. It has since branched out to the Pixel 9 series and more recently appeared on the Galaxy S26 range as well.
Samsung also rolled it out to the Galaxy S25 series with the One UI 8.5 update. However, aside from Pixel and Samsung devices, there hasn’t been much progress until now.
Oppo introduced the Find X9 Ultra last week with a commitment to soon provide AirDrop support, and it seems that this is already taking place. I’ve managed to test this myself, successfully sending and receiving files between the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and an iPhone Air without any problems.
When accessing the Quick Share settings on the Find X9 Ultra, there’s now a notification confirming that AirDrop file sharing is enabled. It also offers a brief guide on usage, which primarily involves activating AirDrop on the iPhone and adjusting visibility to ‘Everyone’ for a duration of 10 minutes.
After that, the iPhone appears in the Quick Share menu on the Android device. You can receive files the same way by adjusting your Android device’s visibility settings.
My colleague Harish Jonnalagadda successfully utilized this feature on his Vivo X300 Ultra, indicating that it is indeed extending beyond just Pixel and Samsung devices. However, we have yet to see it launch on devices like the OnePlus 15, and there has been no confirmation from either OnePlus or Google regarding that.
Regardless, it’s exciting to finally observe this feature being more widely distributed. It simplifies the sharing of images, videos, and files between Android and iPhone without relying on third-party apps. We will keep you posted as it further expands to additional devices.
Android Central’s Perspective:
I’ve personally tested this feature, and it functions surprisingly well. It is still somewhat slower than direct AirDrop-to-AirDrop sharing or even Android-to-Android sharing, but the existence of this feature and its growth beyond Pixel and Galaxy phones is a significant gain for Android users.
