This app recreates iPhone Duo’s StandBy mode on any Android foldable
The only caveat: Unlocking all 50 faces requires you to pay $1 monthly or $10 one-time.
The iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone from Apple, offers a unique feature called StandBy mode. This mode allows the phone to function as a bedside clock or smart display even when it's not charging, unlike many other smartphones. This is particularly useful when the phone is placed half-folded on a flat surface, regardless of its orientation - whether it's opened like a laptop, in tent mode, or standing vertically like a card.
The inner screen can display different information, providing a versatile and convenient user experience. However, an Android app called Foldy has managed to recreate this unique StandBy mode for Android foldable devices. The paid version of Foldy offers over 50 display options, including clocks, calendars, to-dos, Google Photos gallery, and even Google Home controls.
While the iPhone Duo's StandBy mode has been available since its launch, Android enthusiasts were quick to replicate this feature for Android foldables.
