Developer Preview 1.1 of Android 12

We wrote about the launch of Android 12 at the end of last month. Or at least, the first release of it. Because we will only find out at the announcement in a while which functions we will really see back. First, developers can get started with the Android 12 Developer Preview that has been released. DroidApp has put an extensive overview online with all new features in Android 12.
