Android 12 Developer Preview 2 released for OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro

With the official release of Android 12 right around the corner, OnePlus has just released the Android Developer Preview 2 for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. The new version comes four months after OnePlus released the first developer preview of Android 12 for its 2021 flagship lineup.

Android 12 Developer Preview 2 for the OnePlus 9 series brings along a plethora of bug fixes and optimizations, including improved auto-brightness behavior, better frame rate performance in graphics-heavy games, optimized zoom performance, and so on.

In addition, the update also adds new widgets that display essential information from apps at a glance and optimizes the page layout and the presentation of text and color to put more prominence on important details.

As you would expect from a developer build, there’s a long list of bugs. For example, the camera app doesn’t support the recently released XPan mode, the scrolling screenshot feature is missing, and the Google Phone app doesn’t support call recording.
