killamch89 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 From what I can gather from watching the video, Android 12 has plenty of refinements and radical new design. There's also improved "privacy" options. What are your thoughts about it?
skyfire Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 I love some of the new changes. Mark my word some of those changes will be taken by iOS soon and then world will clap hands, oh look apple is innovative.

I can't disagree with that especially due to the fact that Apple sources their displays from Samsung. I believe Rollable phones might gain more of a foothold than Foldables because of how functional their design is and it's nowhere as fragile.
skyfire Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I think the rollable vs foldable has to stand the test of time and the robustness. So it all comes down to where and how we choose to do the work.

Yeah but as for Android 12, I can't wait to see how other companies like Samsung and others will implement it and how much it'll vary from the stock version.
skyfire Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Yeah I think instead of samsung xiaomi and oneplus would be worth looking at from what I have seen so far they make some good UI changes.
Empire Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 I really like the new design, one thing I feel like I wont like is that we then have less quick settings visible when swiping down once. I feel like every update, they change many good things but also remove one very neat feature, so that you get bugged out by it not existing anymore. Examples being the battery percentage not visible anymore when swiping down the quick settings, or the gesture control that they had after the three button layout that didnt support precisely switching between multiple apps after they've released the new gesture control.
skyfire Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Android does not completely remove features it just makes it hard to find. for example in past developer mode was basically a button to tap now a days it's option in settings>about>system options> developer mode. so kind of like they make it hard to find their features which people think are removed.
Patrik Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 I took a look into supported Samsung Phones, my phone isn't supported there :(

skyfire Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 I think samsung recently completely switched to their own custom OS and also the manual flashing would be painful though possible. I think lineageOS would support samsung with Android 12 I hope.

skyfire Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 A lot of folks are making use of the 2019 phones. and that would go for one more year. I think the new android 13 onwards it would force you to change the phone.

Although I don't know how many of the budget models will receive this update.
skyfire Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Yeah 2022, going to be big sales for phones considering a lot of people bought pre pandemic phones and now would be pending an upgrade in upcoming times.
