Apart from these performance and security refinements, Android 12 also brings a slew of new fancy features.

Even if the A11 is already an aging device, the new update still offers what the One UI Core 4.1 provides its users. Essentially, it brings new features, along with widgets and other handy additions that newer smartphones readily support right off the bat.

For instance, the latest update brings the Color Palette feature to the Galaxy phone. Its users should also expect new and improved widgets as they install the new Android release.

If you are keen on using Dark Mode most of the time, the update offers slight improvements to make it more seamless across various apps.

The built-in apps on Galaxy phones, such as the keyboard and the camera app also saw some upgrades. The camera app now rocks a more minimalistic look, allowing users to better navigate it while taking photos.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Keyboard now helps its users write better and more concise messages, all thanks to its Grammarly support.

So while the Android 12 update took a while before arriving to the Samsung entry-level phone, the new features and improvements are still worth looking into.
