Google Android 12 Timeline: Developer previews, public beta, and stable releases

Google has recently released the first developer preview of the next-gen Android, Android 12. This first preview provides us an early look and shows a lot of changes that make Android more knowledgeable, better performing, and more secure.

Moreover, the company has also published its schedule for the different developer previews, beta releases, and final releases. For Android 11, last year Google released the first beta in June and the final launch in September. It seems that the company will follow the same for Android 12.

Starting from this month, the developer preview program of Android 12 will run until the final public release. Adding to this, the company will send updates for the development and testing environments at the key development milestone including SDK tools, system images, emulators, API reference, and API diffs.

As per the official schedule, Google will deliver two more developer previews until April this year. On the other side, the first public beta of Android 12 is expected to be released in May 2021.

The first public beta will be more stable than the developer previews and users will be able to easily get the Android 12 update through the Android Beta Program.

After bringing three public beta updates, the 4th Android 12 beta will be marked as Platform Stability. It means the development process of Android 12 is identically ended.

However, after the fourth public beta, Google has not revealed the timeline for the stable release. Meanwhile, the stable Android 12 for Pixels may be released in the third quarter of this year.

Besides this, the Android 12 schedule could be changed due to any technical reason, or delivering additional developer previews can also delay further plans. As of now, the development of the next generation of Android is underway, and we can expect new information on this matter in the coming days.
