Google presented today at Google I/O, the new interface of Android 12, Material You, which will first be available on Pixel smartphones starting this fall in the United States, that is, starting at the end of September this year. With Material You, the most important thing is the details, which can already be tested on Android 12 beta. For example, the system creates a color palette inspired by the color of the photo you chose for your wallpaper. In addition to the interface, the widgets will also have their color adapted to match the photos you choose.

Another interesting detail is that the screen starts to light up from the moment the button is turned on. When you pick up the phone, the screen lights up underneath. The clock appears larger when you have no new notifications. Notifications, by the way, have been redesigned, are much more minimalist, and according to Google, were reimagined to help you perform tasks. Animations and transitions are also more fluid. Above the notifications, the quick settings screen now includes Google Home and Google Pay, making it easier to control your connected home devices or make payments with Google's service.

Material You is the evolution of many years of design in Google's interface

Material You is a beautiful evolution of the Material Design, first introduced by Google in 2014. The idea is to be able to customize all your devices with the new interface, although at first, the new Material You design was exclusive to Pixels. In the video below, a preview of the Android 12 beta, and how it is designed to make the user's life easier, interact better with other devices, and maintain their privacy.

Check out the video below to see how Google imagines this interaction between your smartphone and tablets, smart speakers, notebooks and even your car.

Android 12 is also more secure

Android 12 is also more secure, and offers greater transparency into the data being used by each app. A new privacy dashboard centralizes all your permissions, and lets you quickly revoke permissions from apps if needed. Following the example of Apple, you now know if an app is using your microphone or camera with a visual warning at the top of the screen. The new Android features Private Compute Core, with privacy protection built into the system itself. It will also have protected folders, such as we show here.
