Google launched Android 12L for foldables, tablets
Recently, Google has announced a new version of Android, Android 12L, which aims to create the building out of Android 12 on larger-screened devices (via Google Developers). It is mainly intended for tablets and foldables, but Chromebook users will also benefit from it.
Google has historically struggled to encrypt Android’s large screen since its release and later reversed the changes it made with Android Honeycomb. Although the company has since shipped Android tablets such as the Nexus 10 and Pixel C, the information of these has been widely criticized for being a tapped phone interface, a charge that has plagued Android tablets.
What’s in Android 12L?
- Powerful and intuitive multitasking
- More updates and resources for large screens
Try your apps on 12L and optimize for the next wave of large-screen devices!

Android 12L UI
Android 12L fixes all that by bringing more enhanced features to take advantage of the larger display like Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z series. Instead of a large, widely space notification center, Google will add a new dual-panel notification center to folders and tablets. This allows users to see and share their notifications and instant settings instantly.
Changes to Google Play on large screens
In Android 12L, new production features make multitasking more dynamic and more precise. The Android 12L adds a new taskbar that makes it easy to launch and change apps quickly.
Gestures make use of the taskbar even faster, by dragging and dropping to get into screen split mode and swipe up to go home. In gesture navigation, a quick switch allows users to browse the latest apps.
Android 12L Compatibility
There is a new taskbar, reminiscent of a dock or shelf you will find on normal laptops and the Samsung’s new One UI Book that will allow for quick application changes. The split-screen will see an improvement, as Google plans to add an advanced drag and drop function. It’s not as big a change as it was with Android 12, but it will make using Android on larger screens a better experience and provide a solid foundation for tablet makers to work with.
Availability
Android 12L goes to test from now for developers on selected devices such as the Lenovo P12 Pro tablet. The more widespread beta will be made available on Google Pixel phones and soon for other compatible devices.
