Google made Android 12 open-source earlier this week and that enables most smartphone vendors to get Android 12 code for their own user interfaces. Samsung’s OneUI, OnePlus’s OxygenOS, and Xiaomi’s MIUI will now be able to develop an Android-12 based version for their smartphones. In fact, many brands have announced plans to release the next version of their own OS based on Android 12 soon. Oppo for one is releasing Android12 based ColorOS on October 19.
However, the update will not be coming to all older devices. Most companies will soon release a list of smartphones that have come out in the last 1-2 years that will get an Android 12 update. While some brands may offer the update for much older devices, others may not.
Here’s our expected list of phones that could get Android 12, sorted by popular brands. Keep in mind that the list is not final and some models may not get the update. The list is also based on past trends from the brand, given that phones which launched one or two years back typically do get an update.
