14 DAY TRIAL // Google has theoretically announced the Android 12 update already, though the new operating system isn’t yet available for Pixel smartphones.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean that the world isn’t getting ready for Android 12, and phone makers out there are one by one trying to make sure their devices would run the new OS flawlessly.
Samsung is obviously one of the biggest names paving the way for the rollout of Android 12, and as it turns out, the South Koreans are actually planning to ship the update to its devices in a timely manner.
According to a report from TizenHelp, the rollout of Android 12 for the first Samsung devices could begin by December at the latest, which means we’re less than 2 months away from the moment the first models released by the South Korean company would get the new operating system.
No further specifics have been provided as to what devices are expected to get the update first, but most likely, Samsung will start with its high-end models in the Galaxy S lineup, with the entire lineup to then follow in the next few months.
Full rollout in 2022
The full launch of Android 12 for the rest of the Samsung devices is likely to happen in 2022 when the rollout would gain more pace and would expand to other models currently on the market.
Needless to say, Samsung itself has remained completely tight-lipped on everything so far, but the timing seems just about right, especially because the Android 11 rollout started for devices launched by the company in early December 2020.
So at first glance, Samsung just sticks with its traditional calendar for shipping new Android versions to devices, though it remains to be seen how flawless the experience is going to be for devices across the world.
