Samsung Galaxy A12 Android 12 update could be coming soon

Firmware

While Samsung has released the Android 12 update to all its high-end phones and most of its mid-range phones, the company is yet to release the update to its entry-level phones. That could soon change with the Galaxy A12.

The South Korean firm could soon release the Android 12-based One UI 4.1 update to the Galaxy A12. Samsung has started testing the update internally in India (INS) with firmware version A125FXXU2CVD5, and we've seen signs of this firmware on the company's servers. When Samsung releases the update, the Galaxy A12 could get a more recent version of the Android security patch.

The Android 12 update should bring a revamped UI design with the Color Palette feature, better widget styling, more widget options, and an improved widget picker UI. The update could also bring a cleaner UI design for the camera app and many other stock apps.

Entry-level and mid-range phones aren't getting the Smart Widgets feature, though, something that's present on Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series phones running One UI 4.1.

The update could also include privacy indicators for active camera and microphone usage, quick setting toggles to enable/disable the camera and microphone across the system, and a Privacy Dashboard. Samsung could also bring more accessibility options and an improved Samsung Keyboard.
