Android 12 reaches beta phase, introducing a huge redesign

18 May 2021
The first beta will be available today on Pixels and devices from other makers.

Sort by:

Again,
No qualitative changes
No new features
Nothing new beside re-skin
Android updates have been so minor after Oreo that there is no point in big updates.
Meanwhile iOS is catching up in features.

    Yuk! It looks like Google have teamed up with Greenpeace?! Not liking it at all.

      I very much dislike that sketchy and childish design.

          Somebody toss Google overboard. They no longer should be steering the ship.

                I personally think it looks very nice, looks a lot more modern in my opinion. I just hope the functionality is there.

                  Yeah from these screenshots it looks like childish design. Resembling what though, a hybrid of iOS and OneUI? Google keeps doing what it does best, breaking perfectly working things and trying to fix them only in order to bring them them back again in very near future and so the loop continues. Never had any confidence in their own design/ products. Android Oreo was probably the last sane and practical most UI.

                    I love those stock UI. Looks so neat! Hope the next pixel is interesting enough for me to buy the same.

                      Following the modern ui design plus living environment. I like it!
