The 32-person call support is not live on Chrome only. Duo users on other platforms, like on Android devices, are still limited to 12-person calls for now, but this should hopefully change soon.

Along with this new increased user limit, the corners of every chat window has been rounded and portrait and landscape modes are both used simultaneously. Google has shown off a similar UI for Android where there is a grid of six participants on top and a carousel of faces at the bottom you can scroll through.
