I'm more interested to see what Samsung and Android 12L can do from a software standpoint. I have the S7 Plus and while its been great for the most part, software is still not where it needs to be and 3rd party apps need optimization. Hopefully Samsung and Google can start getting more people on board. For example, Netflix quality is poor. It typically takes 5-10 minutes to finally start playing in high resolution if it does at all. Its not a internet connection issue and theres no options to force it, its just bad software.
I been thinking about Android 12L and Samsung Galaxy devices... I think Android 12L is more for Google efforts than Samsungs. I been following the betas for Lenovo recent tablet and Android 12L is benefiting Google. Samsung has already built a foundation of tablet optimization based on OneUI and I honestly don't know how Android 12L will add to it.
If anything, I don't know the behind-the-scenes code that will help developers.... it might be an aspect where developers find it much easier to build for a tablet support going forward on Android 12L.
I've been using ipadOS a while now. But it is being overblown. The most apps that are being iPad made are mostly focused on editing. Anyway even the apps are not that important on tablets. When you really look in to the user case of tablet users it's always browsing and streaming. In comparison people don't spend that much inside apps (excepts gaming) actually. Back to the S8 Ultra, it looks stunning.
I've been an iPadOS user since the beginning and the App Store for iPad is playing on different level far from Android tablet apps. I understand that tablets are geared toward browsing and streaming, but when it comes to
apps... polish and quality plays a huge part for tablet apps.
It's the old age debate of iPhone apps vs Android apps.... when comparing the two, iPhone apps are more polished. And I enjoy Android over iOS, but I'm being objective here. The fact that Google is deciding to push out an update focusing on tablet support tells you that they are behind in this area. The S8 Ultra definitely looks stunning, but when it comes to iPad apps.... it's a whole different ball game.
