Here’s what to expect in Android 12 when it is officially released later this year.Īndroid 12’s new design includes a lot of color and customization Image: Google Material You design and better widgetsĪndroid 12 is one implementation of a new design system Google is debuting called Material You. I’ve spent a couple of hours demoing all of the new features and the subsequent few days previewing some of the new designs in the beta that’s being released today. It looks new, but Android by and large works the same - though, of course, Google can’t help itself and again shuffled around a few system-level features. There are a few other functional features being tossed in beyond what’s already been announced for the developer betas, but they’re fairly minor. But in just a few days, it has already grown on me. Every big design change can be polarizing, and I expect Android users who prefer information density in their UI may find it a little off-putting. ![]() Android 12 exudes confidence in its design, unafraid to make everything much larger and a little more playful. ![]() That might be a bit of hyperbole, especially considering how many design iterations Android has seen over the past decade, but it’s justified. ![]() It is “the biggest design change in Android’s history,” according to Sameer Samat, VP of product management, Android and Google Play. ![]() It has an entirely new design based on a system called “Material You,” featuring big, bubbly buttons, shifting colors, and smoother animations. Google is announcing the latest beta for Android 12 today at Google I/O.
