Android 12 update tracker T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint & AT&T: eligible … – PiunikaWeb

New updates are added at the bottom of this story …….

The original story (published 06 May 2021) follows:

Most Android smartphone vendors have already rolled out the Android 11 update to more than fifty percent of the eligible devices in their portfolio.

In fact, a December report highlighted the fact that Android 11 has the fastest adoption rate of any version to date.

While this is indeed good news, there are still bottlenecks in the way Android updates are made public, and smartphone operators are one of them, perhaps even the biggest bottlenecks. of all.

Carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile first test system updates independently before giving OEMs the go-ahead to send software updates to their phones.

This adds an extra layer of work that results in updates being delivered to carrier locked units later than unlocked models in some cases, as seen with the rollout of Android 11 in the US.

That said, Google is now on the verge of launching the Android 12 beta, making Android 11 a relic of the past.

This means carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Sprint (now part of carrier Magenta) will be tasked with testing Android 12 for devices before giving OEMs the green light to push the update. to users.

Thus, in this article, we will keep an eye on all the developments surrounding the availability of Android 12 from the main US carriers – US T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and AT&T.

T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and AT&T Android 12 release date

While operators play a role in the deployment of software updates, OEMs are responsible for developing and planning deployment schedules.

This means that smartphone brands such as Samsung, LG, Motorola, and OnePlus that sell devices through carriers in the United States will be responsible for the availability of Android 12 for their devices.

That said, Google is expected to release the beta version of Android 12 this month and will continue to test the new Android operating system until late August or early September, after which it will release the stable update.

Therefore, we can expect to see OEMs and Operators to start rolling out the update towards the end of the year. But we’ll just have to wait and see.
