Android 12 with Material You launches today, hits Pixel phones in coming weeks
Google Pixel 6 Image Composite.

Google today made the final release of Android 12 source code available after a long beta-testing period, but it's important to note that it still won't roll out to the Pixels or other devices just yet. The new update will land first on older Pixels in the coming weeks, though it'll look best on the Google Pixel 6 when that releases later this month. This update comes with a large design overhaul known as Material You, and a bundle of privacy and security tweaks.

The biggest change is the company's new Material You design language. When the update rolls out, Pixel owners will find that their phone's interface will become a lot more attuned to their wallpaper choices thanks to Google's dynamic color theming system. These colors will apply to parts of the user interface, from the notification center and lock screen to even icons on the home screen and inside of apps that have been updated to support it. The company has also debuted new widgets to match Apple's after letting Android's widget system stagnate for a while. Several parts of the interface have also been redesigned to be larger and bubblier than they were on Android 11.
