The official release of Android 12 is now available for those who want to experience the latest operating system on their phones. Users will have a lot to look forward to in this new release. In this article, we will take a look at some of the features that will be part of this upgrade:
Now, one of the most requested features from users is the new interface that Google has designed for Android. The official release of Android 6 introduced many new features including the standard notification center and the option to lock the screen on locked apps. This was a great step forward in terms of user experience but did nothing to resolve some of the more frustrating issues that were cropping up with the software.
With the latest official release, users are able to enjoy the same interface that they did with the Android 4.4 release. It still includes the same menu items and features such as the standard Android buttons along with new options that include the Quick Panel and Drawer. In terms of the Quick Panel, you can access all your apps from this panel, which is a neat feature that makes managing your software less complicated. This means that you can launch your favorite apps with just one touch.
As per the official documentation, there are a couple of tweaks that you can expect to see with this latest version. One of these is the notification shade that is now included in the settings. With this new feature, users can get a clearer look at what apps are currently running on their devices. You can access this from the Privacy tab in your device settings. This also allows you to get more detailed information about the icons in the status bar.
In terms of performance, there is no doubt that this newest release has got some nice enhancements. For instance, you can get significantly better battery life with this one as well. Other users have also claimed to get up to 10% more usage out of their devices. There is also no longer any need to sign in to Google or take out cash to unlock the bootload. Users can now easily do it by themselves.
There is also the option of converting your device into an official Google Android device. This is a bit complicated but it’s worth mentioning. All that you have to do is grab your development tools and set them up on your computer (assuming that you’re using Windows). After doing so, you can then connect your phone to the computer with the USB cable and follow the on-screen instructions. You should be able to get your official Android O device after a few minutes of setting everything up.
As we mentioned before, the primary change with this new OTA is that it removes the “modular” system. Instead, users will get a standard, cookie-cutter system which they can use to roll back to if they have any problems. It’s a nice feature that will make life easier for most users, but it does make things a bit more complicated for developers. Developers will have to rewrite their applications for each new platform change and if they don’t know exactly what changes Google wants, they might find their application frozen while in testing. That’s why it’s important to stick to the official releases of your favorite android apps.
In the end, though, the biggest change with this latest official release of Android is that it implements many of the new features that Google has been talking about for the last few years. Developers won’t really feel at liberty to change the core interface, because that would require a change in the main source code. So users will have to settle for the change that Google has chosen, at least until a later Android OS update. However, if you really want to get the best Android experience, it’s always important to download the official beta releases and use them on your device. It may be risky to go into the unknown, but at least you’ll have a well-rounded experience.
