Android 12 update: When is it coming to your phone?
The stable Android 12 update has been here for a while now. The 2021 version of Google’s OS made its debut on the Pixel 6 series, but Google started rolling it out to older Pixel devices on day one as well. Android 12 is quite the upgrade over its predecessor, featuring a revamped design and a bunch of new features like scrolling screenshots, a one-handed mode, and much more.

Android 12 update tracker by brand:
ASUS Android 12 update
ASUS released the first stable Android 10 update approximately two months after the OS became available. It was also pretty fast when it came to Android 11, rolling out the first update around three months after its release.
ASUS first upgraded its ZenFone 6 series to Android 11 before shipping out the update to the newer ZenFone 7 phones, which seemed strange. It seems to be back on track this year, bringing updates to the latest ZenFone 8 series first.
- First stable Android 12 release: December 29, 2021
October 22, 2021: ASUS has announced its update plans for Android 12, according to GSM Arena. Per those plans, here’s when we expect the update to land on current ASUS devices:
- Q2 2022: ROG Phone 5, ROG Phone 5s
- H1 2022: ROG Phone 3, ZenFone 7
December 29, 2021: The Android 12 update is now live for the ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip, according to XDA-Developers.
March 15, 2922: ASUS has begun to seed its Android 12 update for the ROG Phone 5, according to its ZenTalk forum.

June 27, 2022: It looks like the ROG Phone 3 is finally getting Android 12.
Google Android 12 update
The Pixel phones are always among the first to get the stable update of the new Android version, and this year is no different. Google started rolling out the update on day one, although not to all of its phones — more info below.
- First stable Android 12 release: October 19, 2021
October 19, 2021: Google has started rolling out Android 12 to the Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 3, and Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 6 already has Android 12 onboard, while Google’s older phones will not be updated to the latest version of the OS. So if you own the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, or the original Pixel phones, you’re out of luck.
LG Android 12 update
LG is out of the mobile business, but it still plans on updating a few of its phones to Android 12. The company didn’t mention which ones, but we think it will focus just on its high-end devices like the LG Wing and V60.
LG released its first stable Android 11 update four months after the OS became available. Since LG doesn’t care about the smartphone market anymore, we’ve had to wait a bit longer. So far, Android 12 has only arrived on the LG Velvet in South Korea and on the V60 in the US. This means it should be on the way for the rest of the world before long, but we can expect South Korea to continue getting the first crack at updates.
- First stable Android 12 release: March 16, 2022
March 16, 2022: The LG Velvet has begun to receive Android 12 in South Korea, per its own website.

September 9, 2022: Verizon has released the Android 12 update for the LG Wing.
Motorola Android 12 update
Motorola released the first Android 10 update three months after the OS made its debut. The company was a little slower with Android 11, releasing it four months after it became available. It followed the timeline once again, with the first Android 12 updates landing in the UK in early February.
Keep in mind that Motorola has a habit of releasing updates for many of its phones in Brazil first before rolling them out in the US, Europe, and other regions, so it may take longer to see an update for many users.
- First stable Android 12 release: February 9, 2022
December 22, 2021: Motorola has unveiled its Android 12 roadmap in a blog post. It confirmed the update for all of the following devices, though it did not offer a time frame for the rollout beyond February 2022.

Nokia’s track record with Android 10 updates was great, with the company releasing the first one a month after the OS became available. Things were different with Android 11, though, as the first stable update started rolling out five months after the OS made its debut.
Nokia hasn’t shared a full update timeline yet, but it seems to be making quick progress for certain devices this year. It launched the Android 12 update around three months after the official announcement, though it’s only come to a few devices at this point.

OnePlus Android 12 update
OnePlus is generally fast with updates, a trend that we saw continue this year. The company released both the Android 10 and 11 updates roughly a month after becoming available, though it slowed down slightly this year with an initial launch in December 2021.
As expected, OnePlus rolled the Android 12 update to its flagship OnePlus 9 series first. However, it was met with issues for many users, ultimately forcing them to pull the update for a few days before trying again. This may mean that other OnePlus devices will have to wait longer for their update.

The company wasn’t quite as quick with Android 12, but beta testing kicked off in early 2022. We’ve now seen the full build start to arrive on select devices. As usual, the company is focused on its high-end phones first and before making its way down the list.
