Google includes an Easter egg in every major Android release. You can find it hidden within the About phone section of the Settings app, and you can access it by tapping on the "Android version" field multiple times. Android 11 had a fun little game that required you to collect cats by filling virtual water and food bowls and playing with cat toys. In Android 12, Google has added something a bit more meaningful.

Android 12's Easter egg is a clock widget that you can spin until both hands hit 12. Once you do that, colorful bubbles burst out and fill the screen. The colors of these bubbles are determined by your current wallpaper, which is a rather interesting way to showcase how the new Material You theming system dynamically chooses colors to use for the system theme.
