Although Android has dropped the retail names for Android versions, the internal names stayed intact. Android 11 is internally named “RVC” or “Red Velvet Cake”. This time there are rumours flying around that, since Android 12 is prefaced as “SC”, the internal name may be “Snow Cone”
Here are other things we know so far about Android 12:
- One-handed mode may be introduced in this version of Android
- Better, smarter Storage Management
- Visual overhaul to the UI, possibly “Material NEXT” design
- Pair two apps and make it work as one, similar to Samsung’s App Pair feature
- Improved support for external game controllers

- Gaming Mode that helps manage Games and other apps
- Quick-share for WiFi Passwords
