Android 12.1 on the way before Android 13
In its recent report, Google made some clarification about the next version of Android that is going to be on the roll. As the techies expected, it is not going to be Android 13. Instead, Android 12 itself may have some improvements in the form of Android 12.1. This new version of Android is said to be an improvement over the earlier Android 12. It would have some updates, also known as “point updates”. Since 2017, Google is going to launch a second point update in its series of Android.
According to the Android developers, the AOSP Gerrit (H/T XDA Recognized Developer luca020400) suggests API level 32 corresponds to Android 12 “sc-v2” and not Android 13 “T.” Based on these reports we may contain the information that Android 12.1 is a revision or an improvement to the Android 12.
It will improve:
- The way an OS handles a large & foldable screen.
- They come with better UI for the screen,
- lock screen for the horizontal space
- Taskbar for multi-usability
- The main UI is focused on the horizontal space
- New shortcut to support split-screen running the apps.
- In the Settings app, menu items are to be displayed on the left, while its submenus are displayed on the right half of the screen.
- Tweak the time consumed for activating the Google Assistant
- Color extensions for non-Google manufacturers to match their colors to the lock screen.
We are about to witness whether these developments are 100% sure or not, depending on Google’s release. The foldable phone is quite a surety on Google’s list.
