First of all Android 12 Beta 1 is not a full-fledged or stable version of Google’s next Operating System. The upcoming OS is under testing and this is the pre-release version of Android so as to identify and fix issues and make the platform even better before it is finally released to the public. So the eligible or enrolled devices will automatically receive updates for the latest beta version of Android.It should be noted that if you have previously enrolled in the Android 11 beta programme, you must enrol again to receive Android 12. The previous enrolment does not carry over to the Android 12 programme.As said before the enrolled smartphones will receive the Android 12 Beta 1 through the OTA update. Else you can also check it manually by heading to Settings > System > System Update > Check for update.So before you enrol a word of caution is in order. The updates that you’ll receive as a part of this programme are pre-release versions and may contain errors and defects that can affect the normal functioning of your device. You can opt-out of the programme at any time to return to the stable, public version of Android. When you opt-out of the programme, all user data on the device will be wiped.According to Google, you will not be able to unenroll and revert back to a lower public release version of Android without first wiping all locally saved data on your device. You may also encounter issues restoring a backup. “We recommend reviewing the latestPixel known issues before enrolling in Android beta” Google also noted.

At this year’s Google annual developer conference it has not only introduced us to the next generation of the mobile operating system- Android 12 but it has also announced new privacy features for the Android devices that enable apps to harvest data of the users. So with the new features, the company aims to limit apps from collecting data about the users. Until now Android 12’s three developer previews have been rolled out. At the Google I/O 2021, the tech firm has released the first beta of Android 12 giving us a look into what features the next OS will bring when it lands on our devices.For a more personalised experience, the entire UI of Android 12 has been revamped from colour to shapes, light and motion. Initially, Pixel devices will be the first to be able to personalise their phone with a custom colour palette and redesigned widgets. They can choose wallpaper, and the system automatically determines which colours are dominant, which ones are complementary and which ones just look great. It then applies those colours across the entire OS: the notification shade, the lock screen, the volume controls, new widgets and much more.As soon as Android 12 drops to the device, the tap, swipe and scroll will become more smooth and come with animations. For instance, when you dismiss your notifications on the lock screen, your clock will appear larger so you know when you’re all caught up.The entire underlying system is much simplified and fluid by reducing the CPU time needed for core system services by up to 22% and reducing the use of big cores by the system server by up to 15% so that the device can run longer without a charge. Moreover, the notification shade, quick settings and even the power button have been redesigned. The notification shade is crisper, and playful and provides an at-a-glance view of your app notifications. While the Quick Settings will enable you to control the entire operating system with a swipe and a tap. It’s been rebuilt to include Google Pay and Home Controls, while still allowing for customization. Also on long pressing the power button will invoke Assistant to make a phone call,open apps, ask questions orread aloud text-heavy articles.In terms of Privacy and security Android 12 will include features that give you more transparency around which apps are accessing your data, and more controls so you can make informed choices about how much private information your apps can access. The new OS will now have a new Privacy Dashboard to view your permissions settings as well as what data is being accessed, how often and by which apps. It also lets you easily revoke app permissions right from the dashboard. In addition to this new indicator to the top right of your status bar is another addition by the company so that you know when your apps are accessing your microphone or camera. And if you want to remove app access to these sensors for the entire system, for this two new toggles have been added in Quick Settings.Also to give more control over how much information you share with apps Android 12 has brought new approximate location permissions so as to limit the app from seeing just your approximate location instead of a precise one. For example, weather apps don’t need your precise location to offer an accurate forecast. Apart from this Google has also built privacy protections directly into the OS. With the release, the company has introduced Android Private Compute Core which will introduce you to new technologies that are private by design and keeping your personal information safe, private and local to your phone. This functionality enables features likeLive Caption,Now Playing and Smart Reply. Google noted that the protections in Private Compute Core are open source and fully inspectable and verifiable by the security community. It should be noted that all these features have been released with Android 12 beta and more features are expected to arrive later this year.

To date, three developer previews have been rolled out for the next-generation operating system. The latest leaks suggest the tech giant is planning to re-design Android’s UI. In addition to this, it is also looking to strengthen the privacy and security of the upcoming Android 12 release. The revamped design is expected to bring redesigned toggles, buttons, widgets and even new animations. According to a report, the media player in the notification shade is also due to an update. Whereas the icons, keyboard, and other UI elements will be similar to the overall Android aesthetic. Also, the new OS will allow notification grouping of apps of your choice. Apart from this, Google is also likely to release a few hardware products that will include Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones. Citing information provided from a fresh leak by Jon Prosser, this time the company will skip the XL moniker and go for the Pro instead. In addition to this, the alleged flagship Pixel 6 will also receive major design changes. This time the rear of the Pixel 6 will feature a thick black bar stretching to the full width of the device. The camera bump is a little bit raised. Apart from this the device is expected to have a dual-tone finish and will be available in distinct colour options. The one which is leaked has a champagne type polished finish. Image Courtesy: Jon Prosser/YouTubeThe front has a bezel-less display with a centrally positioned small punch-hole cutout that will playhouse to the selfie camera.

The GS in the acronym stands for Google Silicon. It is being developed with the help of Samsung so the chipset is expected to share some similarities with its Exynos chipsets. The Google Silicon is also said to have an octa-core ARM CPU with two Cortex-A78 plus two Cortex-A76 and four Cortex-A55 cores. This can be further paired with ARM Mali GPU which is based on Samsung’s 5nm manufacturing architecture.Image Courtesy: Jon Prosser/YouTubeIn terms of optics, the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will now have improved camera capabilities.

This time the company is expected to incorporate new features from its newly acquired fitness tracking wearable company Fitbit’s OS into its Wear OS.

Initiatives include doubling the number of Dolby-enabled studios in major markets, offering educational programs, and providing resources to independent artist,” the tech firm noted.In addition to this Apple Music will also make its catalogue of more than 75 million songs available in Lossless Audio. The ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is used by Apple to be able to preserve every single bit of the original audio file which means the users will get the same audio experience that the artists created in the studio. To get started on Lossless Audio, subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music can turn it on in Settings > Music > Audio Quality. The Apple Music subscribers can choose different resolutions for different connections such as cellular, Wi-Fi, or for download. The Lossless tier starts at CD quality, which is 16 bit at 44.1 kHz (kilohertz), and goes up to 24 bit at 48 kHz and is playable natively on Apple devices.
