Android 12L is the Android 12 for Tablets
Android 12L is the Android for larger screens, and the company made sure to bring this version for the new devices that showed its availability in the many offers of the company. It focuses on providing better utilization of space and its function to carry out the capabilities of the foldable and tablets, as it aims to give users a lot of space for their needs.
Android and Google
Google released the Android 12 per manufacturer or smartphone creators in different timelines. Some received the beta as early as the first half of 2021, while others received it in the latter. Among the first recipients is Samsung, with its Galaxy S21 having the early beta of Android 12, experiencing the many features that Google developed.
The operating system brought many functions to the smartphones for when it was released first for the public, and Android users experienced it on their handheld devices. However, it is not the same for the tablets available to the public, especially now that the company may be transitioning to a new OS by the latter half of the year.
Google is giving Android as an open-source operating system available for those who worked their designs around the OS. Tablets are a different breed than smartphones, so it needs extra work for the Android OS to bring its features to the larger screens, especially now that more elements are influencing its releases.
