Google has released the Android 12 Developer Preview 1 on February 20, 2021. Currently, the update is rolling out to the eligible Google Pixel devices. Although it’s the first initial build of the Android 12 Developer Preview update, it brings plenty of system improvements and additional features. Some of the frequently requested features have been introduced this time that was missed in the Android 11 last year. Talking about the full-fledged stable and working features, the Android 12 official update will be released in September 2021, like every year. Meanwhile, we’ve provided an overview of the Top New Features of Android 12 in this article. So, take a quick look at it.
Sadly, the first and second-generation Google Pixel series models aren’t supported Android 12 update officially. That means all the Google Pixel and Pixel 2 series device users will be unable to receive any kind of Android 12 official update by any means. However, thanks to the Project Treble support, interested users can try installing the Android 12 GSI build to taste out the all-new Android 12 look and features at their own responsibility for sure.
To be very precise, we won’t recommend you to install the Android 12 Developer Preview 1 build as of now because it may cause performance issues on your handset apart from several bugs or crashes. It’s always better to have some patience until a couple of initial beta builds releases and then interested users can easily grab the latest build for an optimal user experience. However, if you have a secondary device that is compatible with the Android 12 DP1 build then you can use the same without any second thought.
