Looks like Google may have “borrowed” yet another feature from Motorola. A new feature listed as “Hands-free” has showed up on Nexus devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop. The feature allegedly shows up when you change the language but will disappear shortly after that.
The feature is currently inactive but once it goes live it should allow the phone to speak your notifications to you the same way Moto Assist does on the Moto X. While there are several third party apps and even manufacturer features that perform such a function, having it built directly into Android (or Google Search) and backed by Google’s awesome voice system will undoubtedly offer a better experience.
Yet another step in making our phones even more hands free!
