Motorola it has been warming up its engines for a few months now but is not abandoning its top series Edge. Based on what was revealed by The Verge, the company has returned to what it was trying to market ten years ago. It is about turning a smartphone into something like a PC. Such a thing, but not the same, is also doing it Xiaomi with MIUI + or a pseudo mirroring service which unfortunately we will not see in Europe. The Moto project, on the other hand, is called Ready to go. Let's see how it works.
So far supported only by the top of the range Motorola Edge Plus, Ready For promises quite simply to turn your smartphone into a PC
Recall that in the 2011 the company released Motorola Lapdock, made in the form of a laptop, the core of which was a smartphone connected to it. However, at that time, the performance of platforms in smartphones for such activities was too poor. In recent years, similar technologies have been promoted by Samsung and Huawei. And now Motorola he decided to remember that he was once a pioneer in this market by presenting ready for.
This technology allows you to connect smartphone to monitor or TV via USB-C. Once the devices are connected, a special shell is automatically launched, similar in design to desktop operating systems. At the moment, only the flagship Edge + supports the technology, but the company is unlikely to stop there. In addition, the service also has the function of turning a smartphone into a video conferencing station. After all, we can imagine the limits: only the software at the moment can block certain features such as gaming.

In this regard, players can pair a controller and use Edge Plus as one makeshift console, whether for native mobile games like Fortnite or with game streaming services like xCloud. We hope the company plans an expansion of the service to more platforms.
