As usual, Google presented Android 12 after living with Android 11 for a year. This new version of Android that we know on this occasion comes full of significant changes for the system that offer us the most anticipated news, which we will tell you about in-depth so that nothing escapes you.
But in the same way that it is essential to know the changes, it is important to find out the smartphone that will be able to update. The list of mobiles changes annually since the brands linked to Android offer more updates each time, and we hope these will also be faster each time.
Android 12 arrives loaded with news.
This update, which we will see later to which terminals it arrives, brings significant changes. After a few years where the novelties were based on security, this time, we also see fundamental aesthetic changes in the performance of our mobile.
Google has gotten to work and wants to show that iOS is not above its possibilities. In addition, we must remember that these novelties will also be applied to all the customization layers in one way or another, depending on each developer.
Privacy changes completely
The first aspect is where we stop at the privacy options and notifications because now the system will alert us at the top with a small icon that gives us notice of what is being used. It can be the camera, the microphone, files on the disk or the GPS itself. This way, we will have everything under control.
Material You redesign mobiles.
The design is possibly the most critical change in the operating system with Android 12. On this occasion, Google has completely changed its essential lines, which are being applied to the system and to the most popular apps on Google Play. This, in turn, implies a customization change.
The user will have the ability to choose everything they want to change colour, shape or style. An essential step that until now was more complex. It will not be necessary to install anything on the mobile because, from the settings and personalization, we can make the entire mobile change colour to the one we prefer.
Widgets are what they should be
Inspired by what we have seen in iOS 14, Google has not wanted to be left behind and has begun implementing more and better widgets showing its advantages. An aspect in which the most popular operating system has been late, but we hope that it will surprise once it finishes the optimizations in its beta version.
Shortcuts grow
While before, they only had small buttons, now the change with Android 12 has made them grow. Inspired by what we saw with MIUI 12, all Android terminals will see a significant change that will mean a series of shortcuts that are easier to use.
