Android 12L Beta 1 goes live for Google Pixel phones - XDA Developers

Android 12 arrived in October and was shortly followed by an Android 12L developer preview.

Back before the full release of Android 12, we talked about an Android 12.1 update in September this year.

Now, the first Android 12L Beta has gone live for Google Pixel smartphones.

We’ve learned pretty much everything there is to know about Android 12L already, though this is the first time we’re getting to test it on a Pixel device.

Before we get to the changelog, you can download the Android 12L Beta 1 for supported Google Pixel devices from the below links.

Android 12L Beta 1 introduces changes focused on refining the UI on large-screen devices.

Android 12L Beta 1 includes the finalized APIs for API level 32, along with updated build tools and system images so that developers have everything they need to test new Android 12L features.

Once we flash the Android 12 Beta 1 release on our own Pixel devices, we’ll be digging into the update to find everything that’s new.

We’re expecting that the next beta release should arrive sometime in January, as per the rollout plan shared by Google
