Android 12

Google has been a little behind schedule with the release of Android 12, at least when compared to the timetable from 2020, when the company released Android 11 on the first working Monday of September. On this first working Monday in October, Google is “officially launching” Android 12 and providing the source code to the Android Open Source Project, which is hosted by the Android Foundation.

And yet, if you’re wondering when the Pixel phones will get real upgrades, it seems that they will only be available “in the coming weeks”. In other words, we thought we’d seen it all before, yet this is a fresh twist on the weirdness we’ve come to expect from this genre.

Despite the fact that Android 12 has been “officially released”. Google has said that the upgrade for Pixel devices will not be available until “over the next several weeks.”

Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Tecno, Vivo, and Xiaomi phones will all get Android 12 “later this year,” according to Google. That comes as no surprise since it often takes third-party device manufacturers a few weeks or months. To adapt a new Android version to their own vision.
