What’s new in the new Android 12L for regular phones?

When Google showed the specially modified Android 12L system at the end of October, it was mainly about its mission to meet the needs of flexible phones. However, i ordinary mobiles with a boring flat screen they can benefit from this variant and there is actually a lot of news for them. Let’s take a look at the most interesting ones together.

Switch wallpapers from the desktop context menu. You will not need to open mobile settings or another menu to change the background. The so-called The “quick wallpaper picker” gives the user a choice of the current wallpaper and four more.

Call sharing between Pixel and Nest Hub. After pairing the Pixel phone with the Nest Hub, it will be possible to pick up and make calls directly from this home control unit. And even by voice. At the same time, it will be possible to forward the call from the phone to the Hub.

Return volume control at the “cast” device. For unspecified reasons (allegedly due to some official disputes), the possibility of remotely controlling the volume of “casting” devices from a mobile phone has disappeared from the twelfth Android. Android 12 L has this option to return.

Public access to the dynamic visual mode of Monet. Along with the Android 12 system came the Material You and Pixel phones have been given a Monet mode that allows you to respond dynamically to various design elements on the display. The new Android will make Monet available to other vendors, although many are already working on their own solutions to this effect.

This is interesting. The source code for Monet (Android 12’s wallpaper-based theme system) will be released with Android 12L, but based on this code change for the Material Components library, it looks like a bunch of OEMs are implementing dynamic color support themselves. https://t.co/Oufh9zxDnZ pic.twitter.com/9obGYbbMDC
