Android 12 was officially announced by Google in October and Samsung has already shown its variant of this software in an extensive video. In the shell of software we see, among other things Material You, the new Android 12 theme with dynamic colors based on your wallpaper. Samsung offers a large number of Color Palettes for this, so you can customize your smartphone: from the start screen to the icons, menus, buttons and background. The camera and gallery app are also getting new capabilities, along with many more features. In addition, there is a wider range of emoji, GIFs and stickers.
Samsung also comes with new widget recommendations and privacy features. According to Samsung, you decide exactly what you want to share, and what you keep private. From notifications when an app tries to use the camera or microphone to a new privacy dashboard that collects all settings in one place. One UI 4 makes monitoring and controlling your privacy settings easier.
