Android 12.0 beta update for Xiaomi phones
The Chinese company also clarified that these versions are for the purpose of trial and tests only, and they are intended for developers and application programmers and not for the ordinary user, as it will also depend on the opinions of people who will join the beta program so that the company can improve the system stability process and avoid issues with the stable version. But if you are wondering about the new features, this version did not differ much from what we saw with the first developer beta that appeared in February 2021.
Android 12 features
However, the upcoming Android 12.0 update came with an entirely new design language that Google called “Material You“, replacing the old design with the name Material design. The new Material You design has changed the way you deal with shapes, colors, as well as animation effects on Android. Basically, this made it clear to us that the 12th Android update has brought new features to customize its own themes without using the custom corporate interfaces as we used to in previous versions.
With Android 12, you will be able to change the system color, such as icons and menus, with different colors depending on the predominant color on the wallpaper that you use on the main screen now, so that everything is compatible with the other. Which means, choose a wallpaper with colors that match your personality, and all parts of the system will change based on these colors, isn’t that cool! The things that will change colors here are the clock, the clock bar and notifications at the top, the Quick Settings, the Settings app, and more.
