Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 lineup at its ‘Far Out’ event on September 7 that introduced the Dynamic Island. The Dynamic Island interface on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max uses a new camera and Face ID cutout to display notifications and activities. After a few days, Android smartphone makers are also looking to add this new feature to their devices. In the latest update, Realme has asked its users to share tips on adopting a design similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island feature on their smartphones. The Chinese smartphone brand has also launched a contest called ‘Realme Island – Creators Challenge’ to gather ideas on the implementation of Dynamic Island on Realme phones.
Realme has launched a ‘Realme Island – Creators Challenge’ contest on its community forum asking fans for ideas and opinions on how it can implement a copy of Dynamic Island on Realme devices. The company claims that the proposed software feature will turn the camera cutout into a multifunctional feature. According to Realme, the UI around the camera hole can change to different shapes and sizes to display incoming phone calls, alerts, notifications and more.
Interested users can join the challenge by visiting the official global community page, participants can post drawings, GIFs or text describing how a potential Realme Island will look and function. Realme will select the three best proposals based on “their originality, comprehensiveness and viability” and vote on its official Facebook or Instagram account. Realme confirmed that the top-voted suggestion by its UI developers will be considered for future implementation.
Entries for the contest can be submitted till September 21 and the respective polls will go live on September 22 on the company’s social media platforms. The most voted proposal will be displayed on September 24.
Realme isn’t the only company looking to copy the Dynamic Island feature to its Android smartphones. Xiaomi’s China president Lu Weibing recently asked users if they would like to see “smart bet” functionality on the company’s handsets. Apple’s Dynamic Island functionality, introduced on the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, provides a new way to display notifications and status indicators. It uses a new camera and Face ID cutout to display alerts.
