After months of iterative development, Android 12 is finally here for the Pixel smartphones. While Android 11 did not bring any major exciting features. Android 12 brings the major overhaul in years as mentioned by Google. It emphasizes developing a personal device that adapts to you through its money engine and Material You design. We already know about the auto customization based on the wallpaper. But that’s not all, Android 12 has more than this stored for us. This includes smoother screen motions, new privacy features & dashboards, scrolling screenshots, fluid animations, refreshed notification shade with brand new Quick Settings tiles, and a whole lot more. So let’s head to know the other features in detail. However, keep in note that these features are exclusive to Pixel devices as of now. Also, it’s up to the OEM if they adopt all or miss something. ‘Material You’ means that the users themselves should influence the design. It magically auto-creates a custom theme based on your wallpaper and applies it all over the operating system. This implies that Android 12 is more expressive, dynamic, and personal than ever before. Android 12 will use the color extraction protocol to personalize your phone with a custom color palette and redesigned widgets. This means your smartphone UI will change depending upon your home screen wallpaper. Extracting colors from the background and implying it to the entire system makes it feel unique and look great! While the code engine arranges everything for you, the user can also manually alter things. There’s a dedicated section called Wallpaper & style under Settings to serve this purpose. Following this, you will see a bunch of wallpapers packed under each category. You can also tap the icon at the top right- the phone will automatically apply a new wallpaper from that list every day.
