So basically don't worry if your skinned android don't receive a12. It already had all the features in it years ago...

            "The current algorithm fails to judge rotation properly*

            Excuse me ?
            Google believes that using ai on front camera viewfinder will be more accurate than using sensor data

              Berserker, 16 Feb 2021Samsung's Desktop mode. Check youtube Ah then i know what it is

                Meanwhile, many of us are still on Android 9 & 10 with no ETA on Android 11😭😂🙃

                  Joe, 16 Feb 2021So, basically, 11 & 12 are incremental updates with 12 ... moreSeems so, yes, on all of your mentions.

                    SON GOKU, 16 Feb 2021A gaming mode is pretty cool, although Oneplus already has one.pretty much every other major Android OEMs have it (Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei etc)

                        AnonD-940827, 16 Feb 2021Make the gaming mode just like oneplus 6t.! It could be act... moreMany phnes have this. Even old samsung s7.
                        It keeps notifications from showing up on screen while you play.

                          Face detection to control rotation.
                          I have had since android 5.

                            Auto rotation will probably be unreliable in dark room.

                              Joe, 16 Feb 2021So, basically, 11 & 12 are incremental updates with 12 ... moreIt's an open source platform so until and unless google services are taking data for screen rotation, you don't have to worry about spying.
                              If they are taking data then, yes, you're being constantly monitored.

                                I really hope they introduce some bugs, I seriously think this would make the whole system that much nicer.
                                Google doesn't have enough bugs , so that is what I'm hoping for ..... Fingers crossed

                                  so I take it that if android 12 will use the front camera to decide the best orientation then that makes my gorgeous 7 pro (which I love the popup camera in) deformed if it ever gets android 12 *fingers crossed for 11 before that*

                                      So, basically, 11 & 12 are incremental updates with 12 mostly having design and privacy related changes (While spying on you to control rotation)?

                                        Boojas, 16 Feb 2021android 12 is coming soon. Meanwhile im still in android 10 nowAnd am still stuck on android 10 beta😒
