Android 12 may still be months away from a stable release, but a promotional video has already leaked. Google's next OS features many changes, although most will probably be confined to devices running stock Android, excluding those produced by Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi.

XDA Developers has already posted plenty of Android 12-related information, which you can read here. While all its information has been pulled from developer previews, Front Page Tech (FPT) has published the first promotional video for Google's next OS.

The promotional video starts at around 6:30 minutes into FPT's latest video, which you can view below. Alternatively, you can head here to jump to the promotional video. Prosser has also published a slide that he claims is from Google I/O 2021, the online-only event that commence on May 18.

From the looks of it, Google has reworked its stock Android UI with Android 12. However, these changes will only be available on a few devices, including Moto, Pixel, Nokia and Xperia smartphones. By contrast, Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi devices run skinned versions of Android, so the changes shown here will not apply to them.

Typically, Google releases a new Android version in the autumn, so we will probably not see stable Android 12 arriving until August or September. We expect Google to showcase some changes next week at Google I/O, though.
