Android 12L – a system especially for tablets and smartphones with a large display

Recently, we have seen a real revival of the tablet market. Folding smartphones with large internal displays are also gaining popularity. That is why Google decided to create a special version of the system – Android 12L – dedicated to such devices.

With the growing popularity of devices with large screens (tablets, foldable smartphones), Google was again in the heat of criticism for treating them neglectfully. However, it seems that there was quiet work on a special version of the operating system, which, to the surprise of many, is now available for download in the development version.
