The Android landscape has taken a 360 degree turn with the arrival of Android 12, the latest version of the most widespread operating system. A change of those that mark generations and of those that we had not met for a long time. Beyond the corrections and small news in security, there are many functions that really conquer us.

Although on other occasions the leaked versions or betas did not end up being what they really seemed to be, this time the operating system has not disappointed. Now that the stock version has been officially released, we can only see how the manufacturers adapt it, who are trying to take advantage of all the functions that we are going to know.

Following the line marked by iOS 14, in Android we also have new widgets at the moment from Google. Manufacturers and developers are expected to create their own with more options and possibilities, although for now the notes, the weather, the chats, the calendar or the clock are already showing the importance that they are gaining.
Smart control panel
The first change we detect is that the quick access bar has been transformed to make us gain possibilities. Taking inspiration from MIUI 12, this aspect of the system adapts to the new style with large blocks and its own functions without having to go into settings. For example, we can change the WiFi network with a single touch or toggle between WiFi and data. In the same way that Bluetooth or mobile payments benefit among other aspects.
A world of color
With the integration of Material You, many customization options have been gained on Android that did not exist before. This has been possible thanks to the themes, which are here to stay and adapt to the control panel, notifications, icons and even the keyboard. Just by modifying the color of the themes we will get a different style. We will also receive color suggestions when choosing another wallpaper.

It’s not magic, but it looks like it. Android 12 has integrated the hit on the back of the mobile to share it with customizable functions. In this way, we only have to lightly touch the back of the finger and we can from taking a screenshot to starting to play music. An option that comes with Android 12 and is expected to be integrated into all layers.
