What are three Big Changes of Android 11?
- New UI
- Privacy
- New features
NEW UI:
New UI is all about the more dynamic elements, cool animations , more rounded corners etc.
Below the notifications are two buttons for the notification history which looks good and managed. There is also no support for multimedia players here.
Swiping down brings the quick settings panel and you get these three options at the bottom.
The option to edit the toggles in quick settings switch or add user accounts and lastly settings .
The power menu is supposed to come here but it's not here in this first beta bit.
You get the new settings toggles in a new two-row design with the thick brightness toggle on the top .
It's not just the luke's android 12 is also bringing a couple of very useful new toggles .
There are two kill switch toggles for camera and mic which will just disable them for any app there are also new toggles coming for google pay and home control but they're not part of this build.
The lock screen has changed too it now shows you the whether details with a nice little lichen. It looks very modern and very bold when you don't have any notifications . There is huge clock on the lock screen which hopefully will be customizable in the future..
There is also a thick new volume ui.
The new is noticed in the new pixel launcher to get app suggestions on the bottom row , also known as the dock of home screen . These suggestions like the ones in the app drawer we've seen will change according to your usage and time .
There is a brand new settings page which will make you feel like you've increased the phone size . Other than that it is whole one-handed focus UI and it looks good. There's is also new one-handed mode which is very very similar to IOS reachability feature. You can just swipe down at the bottom and the whole UI comes down like below for better access to the top UI.
Apart from all these beta changes there are new animation changes everywhere.
- There is new pattern ripple effect
- There is changing animation
- Smooth screen of and on animation.
Now obviously the big material feature is wallpaper based theming .It will create the theme based on the colours in wallpaper .It will detect the dominant colour and the complementary ones and then create a theme that will extend to whole UI buttons , pages, keyword and even third party apps, and also the new more dynamic widgets . Android 12 is also bringing a widget revamp in a sort of follow -up to IOS's widgets.
