Android 12 | How Critics View Google’s Upcoming Launch?

Web Desk – Android 12, the most exciting android update carries the show-stopping features that will change the way you use your cell phone.

Android 12 will be released in a few weeks on Pixel phones (3 and up) and just a select few other devices later this year.

According to The Verge, Android 12, when launched, will come to the Pixel 3, Pixel 3A, Pixel 4, Pixel 4A, Pixel 4A 5G, Pixel 5, and Pixel 5A phones. It’s the software that you’ll see on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro when that launch later this year.

A Google spokesperson told The Verge that it’s “putting the finishing touches on a special release with Pixel-exclusive and Pixel-first experiences on Android 12.”

The biggest incentive for most people to download Android 12, is Google’s new Material You design. The company says it’s the biggest design change in Android’s history. There’s more color and more fun shapes throughout, and weirdest of all, widgets are officially a thing again.

The core design improvements in Android 12 further smooth over some of the operating system’s edges. The animations you’ll see when you power on your device, turn it off, or plugin a charger all look refined and fluid. Notification pop-ups, items in the pull-down quick settings menu, the volume interface, and more have nice, rounded edges, nesting elegantly within the equally rounded corners of the displays on Pixel phones.

In some cases, though, the refreshed design comes at the cost of information density. Power users might feel like they’re using a Fisher-Price phone, particularly when it comes to how the pull-down menu looks, but others may not mind as much.

Experts are of the view that the fit and finish of Android 12 is more polished than any other version at launch, except for a rather annoying bug with its at-a-glance widget at the top of the home screen, which wouldn’t display the weather or other important calendar or traffic info during the beta, nor can it be fully turned off. Its menu had toggle switches with no descriptions next to them, and it was an eyesore.
