Is there anything amazing about Android 12? I don't see much difference 😕. This is very disheartening. I was looking forward to it

True. The UI looks very similar to Android 11, only some minor changes like thick brightness bar, new scroll animation effect, take a look in Battery and device care: new blueish purple animated emoji (if that what it's called) animates based on the state of the phone like if your phone needs optimization and more.

Amazing features:

Battery protection (look for it under Battery & device care in Settings)
When enabled, your phone will stop charging once the battery level reach 85%.

A dot will appear when camera is in use
A dot will appear when microphone is in use.

There's more. You have to dig deeper in Main Settings, Quick Settings, check camera settings, check one ui home settings, Wallpaper setting, widgets etc.
Go to Settings>About phone> Software information then tap several times on Android version. Good luck with new discoveries.

Android 12 users should definitely give Good Lock a try (I know it's not available in many countries) instead give these 2 apps a try:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluehorizonapps.nicelock3

You can say Good Lock is similar to Power Toys (preview) for Windows 10/11. An add-on that adds more functionalities to your devices. Feel the power of having something that makes your devices unique with various customizations & functionalities.

There isn't much difference just the colour pallete which isn't implemented that well. Just some technical changes like battery optimisation. Camera app is updated to numbers instead of trees. Updated Pro modes which I bet nobody really uses. Those that are itching for this update will be disappointed
