Android 12 gets biggest design changes in years: successor Material Design

In 2015 Google came up with the Material Design; it was a major turning point in the design of Android. Now Google is planning the successor to the Material Design, which we will see again with Android 12. Thanks to images we will probably get a taste.

Android 12 with new design

What started in 2015 with Android Lollipop has now been refined to the Material Theme. We are doing it with that so far, but with Android 12, the design must again be thoroughly overhauled. Google is working on a new design that should be one of the biggest updates in years. The news comes from Jon Prosser, responsible for the Front Page Tech channel on YouTube. It is the same source from which we got to see the Pixel 6 renders, which appeared last weekend.

A slide slide shows what exactly is new in Android 12. It talks about “A beautiful new experience”, “Better privacy and security measures” and “All your devices work better together”. In a second slide we see the new design elements where it becomes clear that Google has been working on rounded corners and clearer elements. The weather widget has been scaled down and the same is true for the volume indicator. There will also be a new clock widget with analog watch face.

In that video shared by the YouTuber, we see other improvements as well. For example, there are new designs for the notifications and the display of the clock. The first thing you’ll notice is the pill-shaped notification style. According to reports, Android 12 also gets wide support for themes, so you can personalize the interface even more.

We may hear more about Android 12 during Google I / O next week. This annual developer event starts on May 18. It is expected that Google will also release the first beta of Android 12. Then we also hear what’s new with Android 12. The complete video full of new features and functions can be seen below. Pay attention; the video does not start until 02:57 minute.
