| Google announces a beta version of Android 12 |
After a review by three developers, Google's first beta 12 Android 12 is available for download today.
Google revealed the latest version of its mobile operating system on the first day of its annual I / O developer conference 2021.
As expected, Android 12 includes some major visual checks as the company has redesigned nearly every element of the Android user interface to be customized using the new material language it designs.
When you set a new wallpaper, Android 12 automatically covers nearly every element of the operating system, including content like notifications and volume controls, to match the main and complementary colors of the screen. "
Google redesigned the system animation and changed the quick settings menu to add Google Pay and the main commands.
The new user interface was first released on Google Pixel devices. As part of the user interface redesign, Google has managed to improve Android's efficiency at the same time.
The company stated that Android 12 phones will be faster, more responsive and have better battery usage due to better CPU usage.
Security and privacy are the second pillars of Google for Android 12. This update includes a new information center that contains a calendar that contains all the data that can be accessed by the applications installed on your phone.
Not only can you view this information at a glance via the dashboard, but you can also revoke app permissions.
Just like in iOS 14, a small indicator will appear at the top of the screen when the app accesses the phone's camera, microphone, or both at the same time.
However, you can also block both components for all apps by turning them off in the redesigned Quick Settings menu.
When it comes to location services, Android 12 only lets you serve apps with approximate locations.
In addition to these user-focused features, Google has introduced a concept called Android Private Compute Core, which supports all device audio and audio processing features such as Live Caption and Now Play.
Google said: As we get close to releasing the official update, Android 12 will release more features later this year.
At the same time, you can test the beta version on specific devices from 11 manufacturers such as Google, Nokia, Asus, Oppo, Xiaomi and OnePlus.
