5 Exclusive Android Features You Won't Find on Pixel or Galaxy Devices

The Android ecosystem has plenty of exclusive features that set apart Samsung and Google devices from others. However, there are some features that both brands miss out on or don't implement as well as other manufacturers.

One such feature is ultra-fast charging technology. While fast charging has become common in recent years, ultra-fast charging capabilities, such as those found in the OnePlus 15 and some Chinese devices from HUAWEI, Xiaomi, and OPPO, are less commonly marketed in the US due to proprietary standards and potential battery stress.

Another feature that's missing is IR blasters. While IR blasters were once a staple on many Android devices, they've become rare on modern flagships. However, some manufacturers like OnePlus and Xiaomi still offer IR-enabled options for users who need this functionality.

Xiaomi's Second Space is another feature that allows multiple user profiles, complete with their own apps, wallpapers, and PIN or fingerprint security. This feature would be a welcome addition to the Pixel and Galaxy devices, especially for those who want to keep private or sensitive apps separate from their main profile.

Moto Actions takes gesture-based controls to the next level by using hardware sensors to detect movement, allowing for more intricate gestures such as chopping and twisting motions. This feature would be a great addition to other Android manufacturers' devices, providing users with faster ways to interact with their phones.
