The wait is finally over — Android 12L is here as Google has officially kicked off the update rollout via stable channel.

In case you’re looking for the answer to the question “when will my phone get Android 12?“, take a look at the following OEM-specific trackers to find out:

Android 12/12L Beta and Developer Preview builds
If you need to download older beta and/or Developer Preview builds, you can found them listed below:
Beta and Developer Preview builds
It is worth mentioning that the beta/preview builds don’t have all the new software features you can associate with the final release of Android 12 and 12L. To be precise, Google gave developers the chance to test their apps against new Android platform APIs months before the new Android version became available for the general public. Hence, the builds mentioned below are aimed at the developer community only and are not intended to be used by end-users.
