The Android phones that we can buy in Europe have a large number of sensors that help us carry out daily tasks. But there are times when, using external devices, it is possible turn your cell phone into a totally different device thanks to which it is possible to take precise measurements up to the point of carrying out a medical analysis.
However, the mobile phone itself can facilitate many tasks that would normally require another device. One of them, as curious as it may seem, is that of level the paintings or furniture that we have at home to make sure they are completely straight.
On Google Play there are many applications through which you can take advantage of certain sensors that Android phones have, such as the accelerometer or the gyroscope to carry out daily tasks. This one, called Bubble Level, promises let the user know when an object is straight or notalthough, logically, you have to take certain things into account.
How to get a level on your mobile
Normally, to know if something is straight or not, we use a spirit level, which is a kind of ruler with limits and a liquid with a bubble inside. The mechanics are simple, since if the bubble is within the limit Drawn means that the level and what is contained below it are straight. Cell phones can emulate this tool thanks to their gyroscope, which is the sensor that allows the device to know when we look at it holding it horizontally and when vertically, and there are several applications that allow us to have one of these tools in virtual format.
Although the results can be accurate, there are some things to consider before using it, such as the shape of the device it is going to be installed on. And that’s it, The sides and bottom of the floors are completely flat so that there is no element that could alter the measurement. However, mobile phones come in all sorts of shapes and finishes.

The Google Pixel 8 has a bulky camera module, like many other devices like the OnePlus 12, and this can mean that when left on a flat surface it doesn’t measure its tilt correctly, but ends up measure the inclination caused by said module.
Unless you are using a flat-back mobile phone like the Redmagic 9, you should place the mobile phone on its side on one of the edges of the which has no disturbing element, like the volume or power buttons. The result can be quite precise, enough to get you out of trouble, although for a perfect result it is better to use the tool itself.
