Most manufacturers take months to push out major updates, often putting their spin on top of Google's version. But some devices can upgrade now. If you have a Google Pixel 3 or newer, you can get Android 12 now. It should automatically search for the update, but you can also tap Check for update.
Remember that updates usually roll out over a few days, so even eligible phones may have a short wait. If you have an Android phone from another manufacturer, check the company's website, forums, or social media to learn when you can expect Android 12 to land. Most high-end Android phones can expect at least two years' worth of upgrades Samsung phones S10 and newer can expect four , so if you bought your phone in late or more recently, then you should be able to receive it at some point.
We have been dabbling with the Android 12 beta for some time, and these are our 12 favorite features. There are plenty of other smaller upgrades, and you can delve deeper at Google's developer site or the Android 12 website to learn more.
Google has revamped its design language with a visual overhaul that builds upon its deep customization options. Material You is focused on personalization, and can automatically extract a color palette from your chosen wallpaper and apply it across the entire operating system, from the lock screen, app icons, and notification shade to volume controls and widgets.
These colors even seep into apps themselves, though at the moment it only works with Google apps. Material You is a Pixel-first exclusive feature, but it will be rolling out to the broader Android ecosystem over the following year. The redesign also includes larger quick settings tiles, bolder text, and larger font throughout the OS. Fun and fluid, the new interface animations and transitions are also more energy-efficient.
The user interface is more adaptable than ever, with changes based on context and input. The striking new clock widget, for example, displays the time clearly but shrinks on the lock screen when you get a new notification, so you can tell at a glance when something is waiting. Speaking of widgets, expect more than a dozen new and refreshed ones from Google by the end of October.
When you pull down the notification shade in Android 12, you will see that the Quick Settings icons at the top have changed. The old circular icons have become rounded rectangles that display more information and are also easier to tap. They now match your color scheme, and you can still customize what tiles you want to see and in what order.
Google has also added in controls for Google Pay and Home, giving quick access to payments or smart home devices. You can still tap to turn things on and off or long-press to jump into the relevant settings page.
Manage notifications It's easier to find and manage notifications Settings straight from the notifications panel. Just pull it down, scroll to the bottom and tap manage in the bottom left hand corner. This is easy on the eyes, and helps save battery, too. Android Auto Android Auto now comes built-in, so you can simply plug in your phone and start using Android on your car's display. No app download needed. Dynamic System Updates This feature allows developers to load a different system image on their device for testing without affecting their original system image.
