Google has Android 12 almost ready. The new operating system It has gone through a series of phases and the latest version prior to the final and stable phase has just appeared. This means that very soon Android 12 will be official and that all manufacturers will be able to update the terminals in their catalog. Today we do a little review of the upgrade phases general and how the Android 12 update for Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola or OnePlus mobile phones is proposed.
Announcement of Android 12, beta phases of the manufacturers, etc …
Currently there are a series of phases that almost all manufacturers respect and use until they reach the final phase. This phase begins with the Android 12 stable official announcement, something that should happen between late September and early October.
When Google announces Android 12 stable manufacturers will have a free pass – they already had it, but that’s another issue – to update their devices. Some manufacturers have some homework done and others do not.
The most normal thing is to see a beta phase in test markets such as Brazil, China or India, all depending on the manufacturer. This beta phase is used to polish the details of the software and, depending on the manufacturer, it will arrive as soon as announced Android 12 or it will take several weeks.
This beta phase also has several internal phases that are divided into the expansion of the closed software to several extra markets. After spending time in the beta phase begins to officially update some devices.
The hierarchy is simple: The latest high-end mobiles begin to receive stable Android 12. The update continues with terminals from this year and gradually going down the range. The most normal thing is that the company’s important devices are updated before the end of 2021.
Android 12 update for Samsung mobiles
Samsung is one of the companies that best carries the Android 12 update. He has gone ahead and done quite a bit of work while Android 12 is in beta. Currently the company already has a beta phase available for 3 devices in 7 different countries.
These terminals will be in charge of testing Android 12 for a few weeks and reporting bugs in order to polish Android 12 and One UI 4. After the beta they will begin to update little by little. The chosen Samsung mobiles are Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra.
It is quite likely that Samsung have the Android 12 update list shortly and start rolling it out to your devices. The hierarchy will be the same as we have mentioned before, it is quite unlikely that the mid-range will see Android 12 before 2022.
Android 12 update for Xiaomi mobiles
Xiaomi is another of the companies that have been working on Android 12 and MIUI 12.5 for a while. The company, like Samsung, also has a beta phase underway so that users can start testing the operating system. The bad news is that it is currently only available in China. And only for the Xiaomi Mi 11.
Xiaomi has things a little more complicated than Samsung, since its catalog is immense and has dozens of different devices spread all over the world. The next phase of the company will be expand the beta to western territories and, little by little, officially update.
It is quite likely that Xiaomi takes longer than Samsung to have the first devices officially updated to Android 12. If you have a high-end of 2021 you may see Android 12 in 2021, but if you have a mid-range you will almost certainly have to wait until 2022.
Android 12 update for Motorola mobiles
Motorola is one of those companies that is gradually getting off the bandwagon of good updates. We don’t have any major news about your upgrade list or phases yet. The company is likely to announce the beta phase on a terminal when Android 12 is official, something for which there are still several weeks.
This beta will take place, almost certainly, in Brazil and will expand little by little. If you have a 2021 Motorola mobile We cannot put the hand in the fire to confirm that it will have stable Android 12 before the end of the year. Hopefully, but nothing is certain.
The rest of the companies that we have not named have very similar upgrade phases. If you are interested in Android 12 It is recommended that you go to their social networks or find out in official forums about the dates of the beta phase or its development in the West.
We have been hearing about the new operating system for many months, but the reality is that only a few devices will be able to update before the end of the year. If your mobile is a mid-range of 2020 or 2019 you can wait seated, it will take a long time to update. If it does …
