Google "officially releases" Android 12 but the update for Pixels is only arriving "in the next few weeks"

It's a very weird launch, this.

Sorry, but Samsung actually brought Material You with its second beta:

    Just when I hope Google won't be so trash it proves they are trash. What good is 5 years of alleged updates when they can't even do the initial launch correctly and 3rd party OEM's beat them to it. Their own frigging devices.

      IosSupremacy, 05 Oct 2021People out there waiting for android 11 So much for androi... moreWell for you maybe its a joke because i think u have no knowledge how things work.Apple make their own processor own software so they have full control over the update cycle but in case of android their are many brands and its up to them to provide the update plus samsung flagship device gets 4years of android update.Yes mid range android gets only one or two android updates but thats ok as they cost way less than iphone.So whats your excuse now?

          So much for android fanboys trying to justify google when they can’t even match ios update adoption rate.
          Its been 5 years since they are trying to do it.
          Its a joke.

                          Google should build up a new consistent OS for quality mobile devices. Leave this current mess for cheap phones.
