It also finalizes the APIs and system behaviors for this version of Android so that developers can start focusing on finalizing their apps in line with the new Android architecture.
Google has also faced criticism about how it handled the December Pixel 6 and 6 Pro update, which may be why the second beta version of the system designed for Pixel devices hasn’t arrived yet. It is expected that this is due to some modifications that have to be made with the Google Tensor processor, which has not been used on a smartphone before.
It should be noted that the letter L in Android 12L stands for large screens since the focus in this version will be the adoption of the new operating system from Google on devices with large screens such as tablets, foldable devices and devices running ChromeOS.
