Gaming on smartphones has grown considerably since the days of The Impossible Game and original Temple Run.

It was a long time coming, but Android finally has built-in scrolling screenshots, and they come courtesy of Android 12.

Google's new Material You theming engine in Android 12 adds a personal touch to your user interface. The main colors of your wallpaper dynamically affect the colors in menus and apps, essentially putting you in control of the overall theme.

Android 12 was released to the Google Pixel devices on Oct. 19, 2021, so anyone with a Pixel 3 or newer model can install the new operating system with an over-the-air update.
