Android 12.1 will be designed primarily for folding models

The latest version of the Android 12 operating system is almost ready for launch on smartphones on the market. Information from the AndroidComunity portal already speaks of the next version of Android 12.1, which will be given priority for folding smartphones. The XDA-developers web portal was the first to get the details of the upcoming version and is happy to publish what we can look forward to.

What changes will the Android 12.1 folding smartphone bring?

Immediately after the release of Android 12, the optimization of the optimized version for folding devices will be expected. This next update will also bring a new version of the “jigsaw puzzle” API. Google often adds new features to discerning customers in updates. The American giant has still not released any flexible Pixel smartphone, but the company is already working on its development. According to the source, there is a possibility that the brand will surprise us at the introduction of Android 13 at the same time as a flexible smartphone.

Further adjustments will also bring a new taskbar, an improved split screen mode, an optimized user interface in applications, and a new notification panel mode. The settings and lock screen will also be adjusted. The update will also allow you to open notifications on a split screen, use dynamic colors, and even add new animation when you turn on your device. You can set a new notification layout in the default launcher or in the notifications panel settings. This change will work best with folding smartphones that have a larger display.

Changing the taskbar focuses mainly on faster and smoother switching between applications. Another new feature of Android 12.1 is the “notification to window,” which, after a long hold on the notification icon, opens the app on the second part of the split screen.

Are you looking forward to the official launch of the Android 12 operating system with us? At the same time, what is your opinion on smartphones with flexible screens? There is certainly a lot of room for improvement on current models, and the future could bring something interesting and at the same time affordable. That’s why we think creating a better optimized version of Android could contribute to an improved folding phone experience. What do you think about that?
