Now, let us talk about the upcoming Android 12 updates.

If we follow the recent reports about the forthcoming software update called "Android 12," then the updates upon downloading will expose the users to the never-seen-before visual appearance of the operating system. Now, some screenshots of the upcoming software upgrade have already been leaked out a few months back, and they are currently available on the internet for view. If you wish to have a look, you can search for it. Nevertheless, they don’t offer a whole lot of clues other than a new iteration of the interface, privacy features, and widgets.

A workable prototype of the software update was released in the beta form three months back; however, some flaws soon started to come out, and a lot of changes had to be included behind the scenes, however few reports throwing evidence of the new look of the Settings alluded to the fact that a complete revamp of the user interface is expected. The leaks came out courtesy of XDA Developers, and the website also mentioned the fact that the revamp has been termed as "Material NEXT," and also indicated the fact that alterations could soon be noticed in the notifications panel, lock screen, and a new theming system.

Some reports are revealing that a public beta of Android 12 is expected to be announced by Google at the I/O conference.

If we go further, then we are seriously entering the territory of rumors, which are quite rampant on Reddit as far as tech enthusiasts are concerned. Yet, we must be careful while reading too much into these rumors as the talks regarding certain products such as Pixel Watch have been going on for years, and we should be talking about these rumors with a certain level of skepticism. Nevertheless, the products which are expected to be announced at the Google I/O event include A Series, Pixel Watch, WearOS, and Pixel Buds.

Now, as far as leaks are concerned, Jon Prosser did leak out a photo of a circular-shaped watch, which he revealed, works on the WearOS system. However, nothing has been corroborated regarding the revelation made by Jon Prosser. Furthermore, it will be the first-ever I/O event after the acquisition of Fitbit company, so we would have to wait and see how the tech giant molds the company into its ecosystem and how much part it will play in the upcoming smartwatches and WearOS.

Conclusion
