Google Pixels devices are always the first to get the latest Android version and that is true in this case also.

The Android developer community has always brought new features to Android like theme engines and it nice to see Google starting to carry more weight in this effort to have a more customizable Android device.
Customization is one major area that Android has apple beat hand over fist. I am glad to see Google continue to pursue more options in this realm. One of my favorite things to do with every new version of Android is to look at the built in Easter Egg. It can be found by opening the settings app and tapping About Phone then Android version and finally hitting Android 12 a couple times until the Easter Egg opens. This year we have a clock that once set to 12pm will open a new screen. It you have not down this on your Android device then you need to try it because some version of Android even come with mini games in the Easter Egg.
Take a big lick of this new Snow Cone and install it on your device today.
