Android Central Labs is a weekly column dedicated to in-depth analysis, experimentation, and a focused look at the technology you use. This includes phones, tablets, and everything in between.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series in late February, one of the biggest surprise moments of the show was Horizontal Lock, a new video recording feature that keeps your videos steady and straight no matter how much you toss or rotate the phone.<\/p>\n
While this caught the attention of many, tech enthusiasts were quick to point out that Motorola launched a similar feature in 2019 (even though I didn’t get a chance to test it until 2023). Since then, Motorola has included this feature in every one of its flagship phones, provided it has an ultrawide-angle camera.<\/p>\n
