What's new in Android 12 compared to the old update?

1. Easier wifi sharing

Android 12 not only adorns itself with a new interface but also stands out with a new feature that allows easier Wi-Fi sharing through the Nearby Share feature instead of scanning QR codes as before.

Similar to iOS, this feature is highly praised by users for its convenience, as it only takes one action for users to share connections quickly.

2. Interface changes based on color themes

You can customize the color schemes of some app interfaces such as messages, calls, or Google apps. This is perfect for those who like color consistency for their apps.

It can be seen that Android has been and is doing very well in enhancing user experience. This feature is considered a great tool for those who want to customize according to their personal style on their own phones.

3. Improved privacy and security

In particular, Android 12 will provide you with some notable security features such as Privacy Dashboard. This feature will notify users about which apps are using their data, including Google apps. For those concerned about security issues on their phones, the Android 12 update will help you address this.

Furthermore, users will also know which apps are accessing or have accessed the camera and microphone. If your phone contains important information requiring high security, Android 12 will ensure that for you.

4. One-handed mode

This is also a plus point for this new operating system. Because this feature works like the one-handed mode in iOS. Allowing you to easily operate, access most options while using the device with just your thumb.

5. Enhanced new game dashboard and game mode API

Google has provided detailed information about the new game dashboard of Android 12 and the game mode API.

Bringing a fun and unique gaming experience thanks to the floating toolbar on the screen that allows players to record screen, take screenshots, view current frame rate, or switch to non-intrusive mode without interrupting the gaming process.

When will Samsung phones update to Android 12?

One UI 4.0 Android 12 beta is now available for the Galaxy S21 series in certain markets. Samsung is expected to release the public version of this major update before the end of this year.

If you're wondering why the beta version isn't available when Google has released Android 12 beta. That's because Samsung has its own beta program, through which they not only test the latest Android version but also the upcoming One UI version.

Samsung typically takes a few months even after public beta versions are available to release the new One UI beta. The public beta version of Android 11 One UI 3.0 was released in October last year, one month after Google released the stable version of the software and the Android 12 One UI 4.0 beta may follow a similar timeframe.

Conclusion

It can be said that Android 12 is one of the next 'revolutionary' versions of this operating system. With the outstanding features that I have mentioned above, have they somewhat helped you answer your questions? Leave a comment below!
