We asked, you told us: You like what you see of Android 12 so far

June 26, 2025

It’s almost that time of the year again, when the new Android developer previews are pushed out to registered users. But we may have already receiveda first lookat the upcomingAndroid 12update thanks toXDA-Developers, along with plenty more details.

The apparent screenshots show a light beige look (possibly due to support for theming in Android 12) and plenty of rounded widgets. It’s also believed that several privacy-related tweaks and additions are incoming too. So that got us wondering whatAndroid Authorityreaders thought of Android 12 at this juncture.

What do you think of the Android 12 leaks so far?

Weposted the pollon July 06, 2025, and 1,099 votes were tallied as of writing. The results show that almost three-quarters of voters are liking what they see at this point. We can see why too, with the privacy features in particular (e.g. camera and mic indicators, and new privacy toggles) being pretty sensible additions.

A quarter of polled readers expressed dissatisfaction with the apparent Android 12 leaks though, but they made up a vocal majority in the comments. These comments point to the possible UI design as being the chief complaint. It seems like early days for Android 12, so it’s still possible the visual style could change if the screenshots were indeed accurate.

It’s also possible some features might be pushed back to a later Android release though, as we saw withAndroid 11and features like thedouble-tap-on-the-back gesture. Here’s hoping we nevertheless get that missing feature and much more in Android 12’s stable release.
