When will Android 12 be available for my Samsung device?
Samsung released an official timeline for when Android 12 updates would be available on various Galaxy devices, not long after starting the rollout to the Galaxy S21.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are the next in the queue, with a December release date planned by Samsung. Since the program started, we’ve seen many beta updates for these devices, indicating that Samsung is ready to launch them.
According to the timeline, the majority of Samsung’s smartphones will be updated to Android 12 in January & February of this year, with previous-generation flagships such as the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S10 series receiving updates in those months.
In addition, Samsung presently expects to push out Android 12 over the following eight months, with certain Galaxy A series smartphones not receiving the update until August of next year. Of course, if the development goes well, things could move faster.
Please note that these dates may change depending on your location, carrier, and other reasons. This list is also based on Samsung’s stated US timeline, however Android 12 will be available for additional devices.
