Everything New in Android 12

Android 12 will come with a completely new and redesigned user interface with enhanced privacy settings. The user interface can now be personalised with a new colour palette and new widgets. The new interface on Android 12 is based on a design language named Material You. The widgets also come with greater flexibility and resizing options.

A new feature called colour extraction can now determine the dominant and complementary colour on your wallpaper and apply them accordingly across your interface. This would customize your lock screen, volume control, notification shade in colours complementing your wallpaper. The lock screen animations have been redesigned with the inclusion of fluid motion and animations. A “stretch” over scroll effect will now appear across the system when you scroll past the end of any content.

Android 12 also comes with redesigned system spaces like the notification shade, quick settings and the power button. The power button will now be able to activate Google Assistant with a long press. All these changes come along with better power efficiency. A 22% lesser CPU time will be reportedly observed for core system services and 15% for big cores by the system server.
