That theming just looks like Samsung's Theme Park app. Sad to see that there are no actual improvements pertaining to privacy, with yet another "dashboard" and the conspicuous absence of a system analogous to iOS 14.5's great and enforced Do Not Track For Apps feature.
So much effort was spent on that presentation just to show nothing.

The good thing is that you can put a launcher and that's it

I have been using android as my primary phone for nearly a decade.
Few years ago i started using iphone 7 as my secondary phone.
Now a few weeks ago i bought iphone 12 pro to replace my android phone and was searchiing how to move my whatsapp from android to ios.
But now after reading about android 12 I dont want to move to iphone 12 pro.
I just want to wait for android 12 as it is so cool!!

Sonu4678, 18 May 2021Again, No qualitative changes No new features Nothing ... moreYou should have understood that Android was full of features since 5.0 Lollipop, even from before. iOS is catching up because iOS still has lack of features even compared to old android versions..

I don’t know how many people are going to accept this new design. It’s too different from the previous versions.
The app title fonts are big and bold and everything’s pushed down, there’s the bluish background, the big icons, big rounded corners, the pastely colour scheme and those motion sickness inducing wonky animations.
I can image some people being very upset by this sudden and huge change.

I like it but I don’t know if I prefer it!
Everything is big, rounded and pastel. Very different from how things currently are. This might look beautiful or repulsive to some people right now but I’m wondering how it will feel in the long run.
Would you get sick of it? Would you get used to it? Would it even matter at all?
We’ll have to wait and see.

All a bit irrelevant really. I don't care what an interface looks like really. As long as I can get my notifications. This is a big so what. If an update brings tangible real world benefits that makes my life easier, fine. Otherwise I don't care what it looks like.

Sonu4678, 18 May 2021Again,
No qualitative changes
No new features
Nothing ... moreMaterial You, Privacy Dashboard, a fully redesigned UI, more transitions, faster. What more could you want?
honestly i dont think we should be surprised with the "no new big features" in OS updates because the entire smartphone market is that way. rarely do we get big upgrades anymore
