Android 12 Mockup Gives Us First Look At the Next Version of Google's Operating System FOLLOW US ON: Google will release its next version of Android - Android 12 (unconfirmed name) - this year. Ahead of the launch, Google shares documents and source code with major partners in order to give them time to prepare for the release. Now, a leak of Android 12 design mockups has given us the first (possible) look at the visual overhaul that the next version of Google's operating system may come with. Last month, it was reported that the Mountain View, California-based giant was working on an in-depth theming system for Android 12. The design concepts that show the first mock-up of Android 12 were reportedly leaked from Google's briefings with OEM partners and show a sand-coloured theme pulled from a similar-coloured wallpaper of hills and dunes. The color likely depends on the current theme and/or whether or not Dark Mode is enabled. It shows that the sand accents are used to colour everything from the search bar to the widgets. The first mockup also shows several 'Conversation' widgets for Recent Messages, missed calls, or activity statuses. The widgets measure 2x1 and include the sender's profile image and the message preview.
