Google announced Android 12L in October 2021, less than one month after the stable release of Android 12.

It’s the first such focus on larger screens since the release of Android 3.0 Honeycomb back in 2012. You can check out all the big changes for Android 12 on phones here. Still, there is enough with Android 12L to take a look and see what all the fuss is about.
