This year, Google is doing everything differently. For example, the company released details about the new Pixel 6 series for the first time, and Android 12 was not yet made available for Pixel phones during the official announcement. Now it also appears that the beta program of Android 12 will continue.
Android 12 Beta
Google almost always releases preview and beta versions of new Android versions. These are part of the beta program that select smartphones can participate in. After the launch of the stable version, Google will stop the beta program. This year, Google announced Android 12 on October 4, and on Tuesday, the new Android version was brought to the Google Pixel 3 series, Pixel 3a series, Pixel 4 series, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5.
Now let Google in a post on Reddit that Android 12 Beta will continue as normal: “You now have the option to continue in the beta program on your Pixel device and receive ongoing Android 12 pre-release updates, including feature drops, bug fixes and improvements to the stability and performance.” This way, Google can continue to test new features through Android 12 Beta before bringing them to the general public.
