Igeekphone News, May 15th: The technology media Android Authority published a blog post yesterday (May 14th), reporting that Google plans to introduce a new 90:10 split-screen ratio in the Android 16 system to optimize the multitasking capabilities on mobile phone displays.
The traditional split-screen ratio of Android is 70:30 or 50:50. The new mode divides the screen into a ratio of 90:10, with one application occupying the vast majority of the screen to ensure that its functions and contents are fully displayed. Another application is located at the top or bottom, and the area is compressed to 10%.
The media believes that Google’s split-screen mode is inspired by the Open Canvas feature of OnePlus phones. The operation methods of the two are extremely similar: Users can freely adjust the proportion of applications and quickly switch to the dominant application when needed.
In the test video, the Google Chrome browser initially occupied 90% of the top of the screen, while Google Keep only occupied 10% of the bottom. After clicking “Keep”, the system quickly adjusts. “Keep” expands to 90% and “Chrome” shrinks to 10%.
Regarding the release date, the media believes that Google has been developing this feature for several months and speculates that it might be launched in the quarterly update of Android 16.
