- Google announced Android 12L, a new update to Android 12 specifically for large screens.
- The future feature drop is targeted towards tablets, Chromebooks, foldables, and other similar devices.
- The code for this will appear on smartphones, too, but they won’t have use for the related features.
Although there are plenty of Android-based tablets out there, they haven’t been able to carve a dent in the massive market share of Apple’s iPad. One of the big reasons for this is because Android has weak systems in place for catering to the larger displays of tablets.
Finally, Google appears to be taking this problem more seriously. Today, the company announced Android 12L which is specifically targeted towards tablets, Chromebooks, and foldables. It includes features that would make using those larger displays easier and more efficient.
