Android 12 release date, features, supported devices and what to know

Android 12 is finally available...for Pixel phones

Android 12 was confirmed back at Google IO 2021 in June, showcasing a revamped look and features that focus more on privacy and interactivity.

We've since seen the public beta release show off refreshed notifications, better screenshot support, one-handed mode and much more.

And after the Pixel 6 launch event, Google launched the software update, and it's available now for older Pixel phones – though the company hasn't confirmed which phones are compatible (we suspected the Pixel 3 might be the oldest phone to get the update given it was the threshold for the Android 12 beta).

Android 12 is the 2021 update for Google's Android operating system, building on 2020's Android 11, which some phones still don't have. But this is more than just an iterative update - Google describes it as the biggest design change in Android's history, and it certainly shows.

Some users can download the Android 12 beta now, which may still be valuable for non-Pixel owners of the Xiaomi Mi 11, OnePlus 9 and other beta-compatible phones. You'll find a full list below, while for instructions head to our how to get the Android 12 beta on your phone guide.

As for the final version, it's now live on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but expect the recently-announced Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to come with Android 12 sometime after the Launch Event.

The new Pixel phones will most likely be one of the first to ship with the update. If you have another (non-Pixel) Android phone you'll likely have to wait a bit longer, as each company needs to make sure the latest update works with their existing phones.

We've listed all the official Android 12 features that have been showcased at Google IO and in the subsequent betas, and we'll update this article as soon as we discover more – and continue updating it as Android 12 rolls out to phones and the subsequent beta releases.

Android 12 compatibility Android 12 will likely roll out to the majority of phones that came out in the last year or two, though some may be waiting a long time for it. It's guaranteed to hit every modern Pixel handset though, probably from the Pixel 3 onwards to the new  Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro , given that the Pixel 3 and 4a models support the beta. Speaking of the beta, we can look at the list of compatible phones for that to get some clues as to which might be first in line for the finished Android 12. They are as follows: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Pixel 3 to Pixel 5 (including XL and A-series phones) Oppo Find X3 Pro Nokia X20 OnePlus 9 / 9 Pro Xiaomi Mi 11 / 11 Ultra Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro ZTE Axon 30 Ultra (only Chinese models) TCL 20 Pro 5G Asus Zenfone 8 Realme GT Vivo iQOO 7 Legend Sharp Aquos Sense 5G Tecno Camon 17 We expect all of these would get the final Android 12 release, and likely quite quickly (with the Pixel phones getting it on day one).

  Since the release of the original Chromium-based Edge in 2020, Microsoft has been updating Windows 11’s default browser with new features almost every month. The browser has received support for a feature-rich PDF editor, password generator, vertical tabs, better control over tracking or notifications and more. In early 2021, Microsoft Edge added support for a feature called Web Capture which lets you easily take full page screenshots of websites. Microsoft began working on an improved version of Web Capture after receiving feedback from users who said the feature should be updated to work with PDF documents. Instead of developing another screenshot tool for PDFs, Microsoft decided to improve the existing implementation of Edge’s Web Capture. Starting with Edge Canary Version 99.0.1111.0, it is now possible to take full-page screenshots of PDF documents having several pages. In order to test out Web Capture for PDF, you’ll first need to download the Canary build of Microsoft Edge, an
