Say Goodbye to the Power Menu: Personally , I am not a fan of this feature since the device control seems to have been removed with no particular reason. Rather power menu shortcut has been added to quick settings.

Besides ,Google Pixel phones on Android 12 beta are not updating to the released full version.Releasing it for the entire world putting source code files available for even Third-Party developers to create custom ROMs , which is crazy.
