Out with the choppy, in with the smooth

Android 12 Beta 3.1 has brought with it a subtle yet quality update.

First spotted by 9to5Google, the auto-rotate animation when going from portrait to landscape or the other way around is now much smoother and simpler.

In the previous beta, this animation seemed a little choppy and cut frame-ish, but with Beta 3.1, the overall experience of auto-rotation animation has been smoothed out.

This animation update is so minor that you might not even notice it, but when you actively move your phone’s orientation, on-screen components will now shift in sync rather than merely teleporting into landscape or portrait mode.

Check out the videos uploaded by 9to5Google below for reference:

While this is a minor update, it is a step in the right direction for the upcoming OS as a whole.
