The Android 12 stable release has hit a significant milestone: landing in AOSP. However, it will be a while before Pixel phones get it.
Last year, Google pushed out the Android 11 stable release at the beginning of September. However, Android 11 wasn’t too drastically different from Android 10 (or Android 9 Pie, for that matter). As such, it was relatively easy for Google to stick to its proposed release schedule. However, with Android 12, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Since the newest version of Android is very different from other versions, it’s no surprise that Google is pushing the Android 12 stable launch out a lot later than last year.
