I have been wondering for _years_ whether this related to some of the changes in iOS starting in 2016, when a lot of apps started having these *MASSIVE* bold headers at the top, first in News & Music and later in more apps. 2016 was just as Jony Ive turned 49, and I'm sure a lot of other Apple execs are around the same age. I wonder if this was part of the reasons behind these changes then, and if something similar might be happening now at Google. There must be tons of different ideas being proposed, and just imagine what someone close to 50 would think of a design with super-thin letters vs a bolder typeface. I remember my dad at that age starting to read the newspaper from further away, there's no escaping it.
Init. Lol. Dark modes also messed with my eyes so I reverted back to black in a white space and my issues reversed over time. There are articles regarding white on a negative/black space
@@pizzalikepizza Kinda wish they will remove the front facing camera and place it underneath the screen like the indisplay finger print scanner and I also wish that we can unlock the phone via fingerprint anywhere.
So, Apple is adding Android features and Google adding iOS features and starting to focus much on what makes iOS good! This is great for both iOS and Android users!
Love the new feel, though I’d prefer to have that brightness bar down below for easier and quicker one handed access. Probably, hopefully, you can customize it.

Can I just say how much I appreciate that when you use "Zoom to Fill" on MKBHD's videos, they fit so nicely and don't cut off too much of the vid??? Respect.
The only thing I don't like are the huge toggles. I like having several toggles easily accessible. Hopefully there's a toggle to disable the large size.
Those privacy settings look pretty sweet, love the toggles for mic and camera and allowing you to give just an approximate location to apps. I really like the look and feel of 12 (so sad they dropped the sweets names, they could have named this sugar, soda or sorbet). I'm going to be switching phones this spring and not gonna lie this is making me even more interested in the Pixel 6
THIS. I don't see the purpose of these huge quick settings tiles they should all be *quickly* accessible, so I'd rather keep the small icons where you can see and interact with more of them right away instead of having to swipe through several pages to find some of them
Exciting! I'm just not sure I like the big buttons so much, but assuming the option of customization will still be there, I'm not too worried about making the size smaller to match my preference.
Just install a theme you like and if it does not work then just install a system launcher (I personally use the microsoft system launcher and I am loving it)

An Android screen is less chaotic to look and use. You can have as many or few widgets as you like. I see SO many iphones with a Ton of widgets on their screens. Takes them forever to find their app. Much easier to customize your screen on Android.
Stock android is boring lol this is the only one time I'd like a stock but I prefer my emui it's much simpler and it has had half of all these features in my Huawei now Google is just using half of them which Tbh looks cute
Thanks man, you always pay attention on everything important and never miss a thing when you do your reviews of android, it's always nice to hear your opinion.peace.
I personally really like all these new changes! It's very pleasing to use with all the well-thought out design and such. I hope that developers take charge of this and we see a swift movement in android to move to a new, easier to navigate design language. Thanks for reviewing the new OS! Great job as always man
I left Android for better privacy against corporate America. I see some improvement implied here, but I can’t help but wonder how much is just smoke and mirrors.
Finally got my Android 12 6 months later, love it so far. The animations are SO smooth it feels like 90hz even when I'm on 60, and 120 is just so good now
@@AdityaVenkatesh101 not on iOS level... Android is trash by design (been using it all my life)... Not only it is less smooth but also less stable (Google doesn't give a fuck about "fixing" android)
the visuals are one of the most important things a software has to have. iOS is so liked by so many users because it looks smooth and clean, android (or rather old android) looks/ looked funky and sketchy, it looked like it wasn't optimized for what it was doing and in some cases still does. Looks are so important because you see them everyday and those small details slowly become more & more apparent and appealing to the eye (the smooth animations or rounded edges of iOS for example) it is one of the leading factors of why people still choose apple over Samsung or any other android devices, android may be more advanced (like the 120hz or what not) but apple still has the edge in smooth design and animations that just make the phone and software seem clean and professional, also appealing to the eye. So to finish it off, in my opinion and pretty apparently in many peoples opinion (apple fans/ pickers) the animations and looks are really important and play a huge role in whether the client will choose iPhone or Android, because most people don't use their phones to do computer programming or whatever they just use it for regular stuff like gaming, social media, RUclips/ Netflix etc. and don't really care about the performance as long as it is good enough for the price they pay for the phone, but rather care about the phone feeling smooth and optimized for every app (even third party apps) and smooth animations for everything, even for unexpected errors or crashes.
This is not real privacy. Apple blocked all kinds of information from you to them. This just has a UI label if your camera is being used. Wooooow “privacy”. Google is dead.
@@ademord do you not realize apple only gave the option to block information so they could sell all your information themselves? they essentially did it to cut a huge source of income for everyone else, so they have to go to apple if they want any info
This update really raised my hope for Android. This feels like a huge step in the right direction. There's been progress but slow compared to the changes of this update. It brings a whole new excitement to my pixel 4a 5g. I honestly was getting a bit bored of it but this feels so refreshing and yet not completely foreign.
As a therapist I like the idea of being able to kill mic and video across the board when having session... Kinda wonder how far that will extend though. I mean Edward Snowden talked about that as long as a battery is in your phone the mic and camera can be turned on even if the phone is off...I imagine that will still be possible even if you did that...
I think you will be able to change that, even earlier versions of Android have the option to change icon and font sizes etc. I'd say don't worry about it.
One has to swipe down twice to enable wifi, Internet, torch or night mode. Notification panel was meant for quick access unlike app drawer. Why they providing so much info in the panel with HUGE icons.
@@timeyinsholaye9169 sounds like Google once again copies Samsungs features and makes it a part of stock Android. People who hate on one ui shouldn't talk
The only issue I have with One UI now (coming from a note 9 owner) is that it's a little bloated because Samsung has their own app store, their own this, their own that, etc. Regardless, let's hope they make it better.
I disagree. The bigger toggles look so much more simple and cleaner. Maybe a bit smaller allowing for more settings would be nice but overall I like the design

He doesn’t do his own graphics he has somebody that makes his thumbnails and stuff like that. Anybody who get big and rich hire their own graphics person.

I'm so happy the wallpaper and theme customizing is a part of Android 12! I have oxygen OS with my One Plus 6 and I was sad to think I'd lose these neat little functions when I upgrade soon to Pixel 6 Pro. Thanks for the great review!
Hope you like the pixel 6 Pro. I'm on a OnePlus 8 Pro and don't particularly like the way this looks on the pixels... 🤔
@@im_Spade_ I plan on stopping by in the store to hold the phone and check it out firsthand. Was debating getting the latest One Plus but their price went up, and idk if they can really compete camera wise to some other flagships! But do love the One Plus phones, hope you're enjoying yours!
@@lilmiszblondexd I definitely am. There are a couple of really tiny things I'm not extremely fond of (I do have screen issues at very low brightness but it's almost unnoticeable and I'm not extremely fond of the curved edges) but otherwise I absolutely love the phone. Hope you love the new phone whatever it is 😁
Google: Let’s redesign Android. Let’s make it look modern, classy and flat-with dynamic elements.
Pretty much every Android OEM: aaaaaaand let’s slap a skin on that ASAP.
90% i guess, 🤣 except android one and some stock like UI like oxygen os and experia phone
Well considering they got most of the elements of the new UI from Xiaomi and Huawei, I would not complain about OEM skins :)
i mean their redesign android also based on emui or huawei..so sometimes android oem ui did it first
Let's slap a skin, and mess up with the ram management 😂

like iphone back in the day...they just make the phone longer and call it a day.
the wallpaper and style settings option has been completely changed from the beta (this video) and the actual release. you basically cannot customise anything! this sucks :(
Oh thank goodness it's not just me ! I went straight in to change style settings and it's nowhere to be found 😓

Let's take the time to *appreciate* the very eye-pleasing and impressive element/aesthetic design of this video! Really complements and matches the *Android 12* software! The way Marques put things in the background is so genius! Never thought about doing that. No wonder why it took a while for the video to come out. I knew it was gonna be something special. Great going, Marques!
Android 12 is probably aiming for people who find a phone hard to use with its visual upgrades. Though the huge controls might bug some people like me
It'll be customisable brother I think you're covered
I like them huge controls tbh
An Android screen is less chaotic to look and use. You can have as many or few widgets as you like. I see SO many iphones with a Ton of widgets on their screens. Takes them forever to find their app. Much easier to customize your screen on Android.
i love the way it is
Now if there were more Stock Android devices...
You have Nokia
@@houghwhite411 Nokia is shit tho
They release really underwhelming devices and updates are slow
Stock android is boring lol this is the only one time I'd like a stock but I prefer my emui it's much simpler and it has had half of all these features in my Huawei now Google is just using half of them which Tbh looks cute
Tell Google to put a good battery in the next Pixel. My Pixel 3 XL after a year had to charge mid day even on a light day.

I was more curious about the Illuminati T-shirt Marques was wearing.

Same here... ✅
It just means knowledge. 🧠
He's been wearing illuminati shirt since he was reviewing either iphone 6 or 7 i think
yes, yes
I personally really like all these new changes! It's very pleasing to use with all the well-thought out design and such. I hope that developers take charge of this and we see a swift movement in android to move to a new, easier to navigate design language.
Thanks for reviewing the new OS! Great job as always man
Best thing he says: Google and privacy in same sentence very often😂😂😂😂

People having phones with popup cameras: _Oh yes, anyway_
The visuals arent something I really care about, but that performance boost is definitely a welcomed addition.
i want more optimizations!
What performance boost? Android will never be smooth at all... It's time for fuchsia to come out.
@@SirLancelotS it is smooth tho
@@AdityaVenkatesh101 not on iOS level... Android is trash by design (been using it all my life)... Not only it is less smooth but also less stable (Google doesn't give a fuck about "fixing" android)
the visuals are one of the most important things a software has to have. iOS is so liked by so many users because it looks smooth and clean, android (or rather old android) looks/ looked funky and sketchy, it looked like it wasn't optimized for what it was doing and in some cases still does. Looks are so important because you see them everyday and those small details slowly become more & more apparent and appealing to the eye (the smooth animations or rounded edges of iOS for example) it is one of the leading factors of why people still choose apple over Samsung or any other android devices, android may be more advanced (like the 120hz or what not) but apple still has the edge in smooth design and animations that just make the phone and software seem clean and professional, also appealing to the eye. So to finish it off, in my opinion and pretty apparently in many peoples opinion (apple fans/ pickers) the animations and looks are really important and play a huge role in whether the client will choose iPhone or Android, because most people don't use their phones to do computer programming or whatever they just use it for regular stuff like gaming, social media, RUclips/ Netflix etc. and don't really care about the performance as long as it is good enough for the price they pay for the phone, but rather care about the phone feeling smooth and optimized for every app (even third party apps) and smooth animations for everything, even for unexpected errors or crashes.
4:33 "So if you're about to... " that Pause just killed me 😂😂😂😂😂
Instagram when Marques was talking about privacy: *Sweating intensifies*
This is not real privacy. Apple blocked all kinds of information from you to them. This just has a UI label if your camera is being used. Wooooow “privacy”. Google is dead.
@@ademord Atleast they tried xD
@@ademord do you not realize apple only gave the option to block information so they could sell all your information themselves? they essentially did it to cut a huge source of income for everyone else, so they have to go to apple if they want any info
@@ademord >apple
@@ademord Wait Apple just got the ability to disable app tracking? Android had that years ago, since Android 8, which was released in 2017
This update really raised my hope for Android. This feels like a huge step in the right direction. There's been progress but slow compared to the changes of this update. It brings a whole new excitement to my pixel 4a 5g. I honestly was getting a bit bored of it but this feels so refreshing and yet not completely foreign.
My favorite part of Android 12 is how the play controls won't go away on this video. Lol

You gonna like ONEUI
Still holding out hope that they give an option to use the icon size toggles to be able to put more on screen
Stock Android has the least customization compared to OEM skins. So don’t hold your breath.
Can't wait for Samsung Goodlock to fix this shit
I think you will be able to change that, even earlier versions of Android have the option to change icon and font sizes etc. I'd say don't worry about it.
I like everything except the new redesign of the swipe down menu I like having all the icons smaller so I can fit more things
I'm glad you mention this! I want this to be customizable too. Like making the touch points half that size.
One has to swipe down twice to enable wifi, Internet, torch or night mode.
Notification panel was meant for quick access unlike app drawer.
Why they providing so much info in the panel with HUGE icons.
Several things require more taps/swipes. Seems they made design for ppl afraid of clicking wrong.
The drop down menu sucks now.
Looking forward to how Samsung takes on this automatic theming in One UI. Hopefully it's going to be good.
Nothing is good on Samsung's UI man
@@VirusTechKEKW I disagree
Samsung already has it. I do it all the time on my s21 ultra. It is called Theme Park
@@timeyinsholaye9169 sounds like Google once again copies Samsungs features and makes it a part of stock Android. People who hate on one ui shouldn't talk
The only issue I have with One UI now (coming from a note 9 owner) is that it's a little bloated because Samsung has their own app store, their own this, their own that, etc. Regardless, let's hope they make it better.
Imo, not a fan of the large quick settings buttons, screen brightness and volume sliders. Preferred those from Android 11
I'm sorry but these are so bad. I tried the beta on my xiaomi and i'm not updating to Android 12
Yeah...It looks worst
I disagree. The bigger toggles look so much more simple and cleaner. Maybe a bit smaller allowing for more settings would be nice but overall I like the design
