Android 12 provides great improvements than any previous Android version. The UI appears much more smoothly and allows the user to also have greater privacy protection. In Quick Settings, the spherical toggles are replaced with rectangular buttons, and the quick shade alters its color automatically, according to the wallpaper.
A revised version of the volume slider has been added. Android 12 has big, round, and readily clickable pin-code buttons on the lock. The Android 12 notifications are automatically sorted by the app. In Settings > Privacy, you may see a privacy dashboard showing an overview of what applications are using in the background, such as which app accessed location or microphone and when. Another excellent improvement is when an application accesses camera or microphone, an icon shows on the status bar. The Android 12 provides the user with a dedicated button in the Quick Settings panel to deactivate access to microphones and cameras fast.
The Android 12 is now widely available as a public beta for Google Pixel phones and it is also available for some other phones from limited smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Asus, TCL, OnePlus, and more. You may check the complete list down below for your device eligibility.
