Unleash the full power of your smartphone 

From being a hub for information and entertainment, to an essential tool for productivity and content creation, smartphones are now much more than a vehicle for communication. In light of this, motorola has introduced a new software platform, known as Ready For, to elevate the mobile experience – enhancing productivity and immersion across 4 key areas:

  1. Connect from anywhere with Mobile Desktop

Whether working from different locations, or editing content for social media, users can now have a complete desktop experience with their phone. Owners of the motorola edge 20 pro and edge 20 lite can connect to a monitor or TV to see and use their apps on a larger screen. To easily access phone apps and PC files on the same screen, users can also download Ready For PC8 on their computer to move files between devices with ease and see all notifications on a single screen.

  1. Stream the latest shows and movies

When pressing the TV icon on the Ready For app, users can take advantage of streaming apps – even if their TV or monitor does not have a smart interface. While a number of streaming services only have mobile formats, motorola edge 20 pro users can also experience the latest content on a big screen. Unlike traditional screen mirroring, which suffers from pixilation and is unable to fit the right dimensions, the use of Miracast ensures high resolution, optimized content every time.

  1. Unleash your inner gamer

The game icon on the Ready For app gives motorola edge 20 pro and edge 20 lite users the ability to immerse themselves in the latest mobile gaming titles with a more competitive edge. Now, gamers can have a full-screen experience, super-charged 5G connectivity and can even add a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse or gaming controller to the mix for greater precision. What’s more, owners of motorola edge 20 series devices can also adjust settings to silence incoming calls or notifications and access play-enhancing apps and tools.

  1. Reimagine video calling

On the motorola edge 20 pro, users can even turn their smartphone into a Full HD webcam – using the ultra-high resolution camera. Integrated in Ready For PC, the webcam seamlessly works with video call services and social media platforms for live streaming.  With the use of subject tracking, users can roam freely – making meeting, streaming and broadcasting easier than ever before.

Ready For software is available on the motorola edge 20 pro via wired or wireless connectivity9, and the edge 20 lite via wired connection.
