Today, Google announced Android 12, the next version of the mobile operating system to be released this fall.
As usual, it is an important update and the first developer preview is already available for testing.
There are many changes to the UX in general. As it leaked, the alerts are being redesigned and will be faster, easier to use, more functional and more modern.
Navigation changes a bit, or at least to exciting ones functions. Όταν παρακολουθείτε ένα βίντεο ή κάνετε κάτι άλλο που απαιτεί εμπειρία πλήρους οθόνης, η Google αναφέρει ότι θα εξακολουθεί να σας προστατεύει από τυχαίες κινήσεις. Τώρα όμως δεν θα χρειάζεται να κάνετε σάρωση πολλές φορές για να επιστρέψετε στην αρχική οθόνη, ή για κάθε πλοήγηση στη device you.
There are also many improvements in the media. Google provides support for the AV1 (AVIF) platform, which is of a higher quality than JPEG, with no larger file sizes.
Android 12 also brings improvements sound multi-channel, with support for MPEG-H that has mixers, remodulators and effects which are optimized for up to 24 channels.
There is a new rich content import API designed to make it easy to move images, videos and similar files. It is a unified API that allows applications to download, copy and paste files from the clipboard.
Google said it is working on updating more Android features through it Play Store. With Android 12, the Android Runtime module will be able to be updated through the Play Store, which can really improve performance without requiring a full system update.
