Smart Connect from Lenovo and Motorola makes it easier to manage tasks on your devices

Motorola and Lenovo announced a new multi-device management tool at MWC 2024 called Smart Connect that allows users to seamlessly switch tasks from one device to another. For example, you can move a podcast from your phone to your tablet without losing your place using just a swipe gesture, or easily share files between connected devices using a unified sharing hub. The companies have yet to release the full list of compatible devices, but so far Smart Connect will work with Lenovo PCs running Windows 10 or later and only with select Lenovo tablets and Motorola devices.

Smart Connect will allow users to navigate between multiple devices using the same keyboard and mouse without interruption, and receive synchronized notifications across connected devices. It also brings smart clipboard functionality, which serves as a single clipboard for all connected devices, so you can copy and paste items from one device to another. Smart Connect will also allow users to turn their phone into a hotspot for a connected tablet or PC, or use it as a webcam. Users will also be able to stream content from their phone to other connected devices, for example to watch a video on a larger screen. Smart Connect will be available in a few months via the Microsoft Store and the Google Play Store.

In addition to Smart Connect, Motorola is introducing the Adaptive Display concept introduced last fall. Motorola’s rollable display concept can be transformed from a panel into other shapes to meet different needs, such as a tent-style configuration that allows it to stand up on its own or wrap around a person’s wrist. ‘a person like a watch.
