\nWith Android 12 now two months old, more and more OEMs are beginning to update existing devices to the latest OS version. Motorola has now detailed what Android 12 will bring to its devices next year and which phones will be updated. \u201cMy UX\u201d remains the name of Motorola\u2019s \u201ccomprehensive suite of experiences\u201d that it adds on top of Android. Material You with Dynamic Color is the first highlight, and it\u2019s touted as helping make the \u201cmost expressive, dynamic, and personal OS ever.\u201d Now, you can change the wallpaper on your device and your entire Android 12 experience changes to match. Using advanced color extraction algorithms, you can easily personalize the look and feel of your entire phone, including notifications, settings, widgets and even select apps. We\u2019re combining the dynamic color, rounded shapes, and large open layouts from Material You with the rich, premium feel of the Motorola brand. Similar to Pixel phones, long-pressing the homescreen lets users access a \u201cPersonalize\u201d menu to adjust: Layout, Fonts, Colors, Icon shape, Sounds, Display size, Font size, and Dark theme. There are also \u201cThemes\u201d and \u201cWallpapers\u201d with previews provided throughout. Design-wise, Motorola is more or less using the Pixel\u2019s lockscreen and layout with a large clock that shrinks when there are notifications. You get the weather like before as well as shortcuts for Home\/device controls and Google Pay\/wallet at the bottom. Quick Settings makes use of a 2\u00d74 grid, and the Settings app is also nearly identical. On the privacy front, there are microphone and camera indicators in the top-right corner, as well as Quick Setting toggles to shut off access, just grant approximate (versus precise) location, and the Privacy dashboard. Other additions include the Conversations widget, new Accessibility features (Area magnification, Extra dim, Bold text, and Grayscale), Game Dashboard (branded as \u201cMoto Gametime\u201d), and easier device switching\/set-up. Motorola also teases more My UX and Ready For (desktop\/dock) experiences, as well as camera features, in 2022. It\u2019s unclear how the update is being optimized for foldables. Motorola\u2019s initial \u201cAndroid 12 OS + My UX experience\u201d update is currently in testing and will begin rolling out in February 2022.
