Android 12: What's new in the first developer preview

The latest version of Android brings more visual tweaks to notifications and performance enhancements under your phone's hood. Here's what the first developer preview looks like.

Outrageous radical changes, as usual. Slightly bigger notifications and a different shade of blue. I really can't wait!

My phone still uses Android 4.4, why am I even watching this.

I just got Android 11 and One UI 3.0 on my S10+ yesterday.

The scrolling screenshot, and the fact you can crop screenshots without opening photos is VERY useful for me

[DavidStang]

I feel saddened Alphabet stopped having fun with the version names. 😕

[zaryabkharal]

Why do people freak out about these updates so much, androids are already so customizable

[gurvz]

When you find out samsung's one UI already has most of these features😉

[RhavonteePryor]

They are literally copying samsung's one they should 🤣🤣🤣

2:54 - I wonder how this back tap is detected by the phone - if it's done by accelerometer sensor detecting some specific movement of the phone, we'll probably have a lot of false-positives.

This lady looks young and old at the same time .

I think there is only a slight change from the previous Android, it is more appropriate to call it Android 11.2

[Gerb]

They should’ve waited for phone companies to upgrade to android 11 before introducing another version of android.

I dispointed because still my phone running with Android 10 📱

[slaidmic]

Sigh... Google's Android fragmentation is so annoying. Most people will never see this unless they a new phone. I might switch over to iOS

[SilvioBritto]

OneUI is rulling. Highly successful. Oneplus, now Google... as people say, copying is the major compliment.

[davidkinoti]

Yikes, just got Android 11 last month

[mausergrenaderifle]

TLDW: So nothing "revolutionary" new.

[amirmoradi]

2021 and I'm still rocking my Pixel 2

You forgot to mention the other features added to the screenshot tool besides the emoji stickers, such as text application and also the ability to swipe away the pop-up notification after each screenshot rather than pressing the tiny little x.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like that new blue screen thing
