How to download Android 12 firmware

Every year Google updates the version of its operating system for mobile
devices. In October 2021, Android 12 will be released, with a number of changes
compared to the previous generation. So it's important to understand what's new
and how to install it on your smartphone.

What's new in firmware


Before downloading the update and assessing the changes yourself, it is
worth studying the overview of the twelfth generation of Android. This
information will give you an idea of what to expect once the update is installed.

New design and widgets


The twelfth version of Android features the biggest design change in history.
Google calls the design of Android 12 in the words Material You. Its features are
expressed in a single colour space for all elements of the operating system.
The colour scheme in Android 12 will directly depend on the selected
wallpaper. The selected image will affect the design of menu items as well as
application icons. In this way, every owner of a twelfth-generation smartphone
creates a theme based on the wallpaper.
As for widgets, they, too, adjust to the screensaver design. Compared to
Android 11, they are larger and reminiscent of the design of recent iOS builds. The
Google Sans font is used and can be adjusted on a point-by-point basis.

New notification shade


Those who decide to upgrade to Android 12 will surely appreciate the new
design of the notification centre and lock screen. Notifications are now grouped by
individual apps, making it easy to find the right one in the morning. Google's
firmware also features an integrated quick-answer system for incoming messages,
as evidenced by almost every video review of the OS.
In Always-on-Display mode, notifications will show up too. And if they are
not, only the clock is displayed on the screen. By the way, similar to the other
interface elements, they adjust to the selected wallpaper to create an overall colour
scheme.

Optimisation of everything
When developing Android 12, Google paid special attention to optimising
the firmware. Devices that upgrade to the twelfth generation OS will receive an
increase in the following parameters:
 reducing Android's CPU load by 22%;
 increase of battery life by 15%;
 47 times faster switching between apps;
 acceleration of program requests to databases by 36%;
 acceleration of screen rotation by 25%.
In practice, this translates into improved device performance. Google has
also integrated several useful features, including play-as-you-download and Game
Mode API. The former allows you to play until the end of resource loading, while
the latter allows you to use all of your smartphone's resources to increase
performance in games.

Total security
Of course, the developers haven't skimped on user security. Android 12 has
introduced a privacy panel. It is used to control access for individual apps. The
Privacy Dashboard is characterised by its clarity, which allows you to see your
privacy settings at a glance.
Phones with Android 12 will also get indicators that allow you to assess
whether the app you are running is using the camera or microphone. Sensors are
controlled via the notification shade.

Gestures
Finally, Android 12 integrates new control functions. In particular, a double
tap on the lid of the device will bring up the voice assistant. There is also an option
to create a long screenshot. However, this feature is already available in most
Android apps.

List of devices that will receive Android 12


Owners of several hundred models will be able to appreciate the innovations
of Android 12. For the most part, these are devices released in 2019-2021. Here's a
detailed list of smartphones that will receive the update:
 ASUS Zenfone 7-8, ROG Phone 3-5;
 Samsung Galaxy S10-S21, A01-A72, M02-M51, Z Fold 1-3, Z Flip;
 Xiaomi Mi 9-11, A3;
 Redmi Note 9-10;
 Redmi 9-10;
 POCO M3, X3, F3;
 Blackshark 2-4;
 Pixel 3-5;
 OnePlus 7-9;
 OnePlus Nord 1-2;
 OPPO Reno 3-6, Find X 2-3, A53-A95;
 TECNO Camon 17.
This is by no means a complete list of devices that can expect an upgrade.
We recommend that you check the smartphone manufacturer's website or the
relevant support team for information on support for Android 12. Also Android 12
will have virtually all models released between 2021 and 2022.
Release date
The official release date for Android 12 is 4 October 2021. However, this
does not mean that your smartphone will receive the update on that date. When the
stable version "arrives" depends directly on the device manufacturer. Some may
delay the process until the autumn of 2022.
Nevertheless, no one prevents you from putting a beta version of the update
on your phone. The relevant builds are posted on the Google website from where
they can be downloaded.

How to set up
The installation process for Android 12 will differ depending on whether
you want to use the beta version (test version) or the stable version of the
firmware.

Beta version
A test version of the operating system can be installed now. To do so, you
will need:
1. Open a special page on the Google website.
2. Choose your device from the list.
3. Download the distributive.
4. Downloaded file to the internal memory of the smartphone.
5. Activate USB debugging on your phone.
6. Connect the phone to the PC with ADB installed.
7. Use the command line to set path to the folder.
8. Process "adb devices" and "adb reboot fastboot" requests one by one.
9. After entering Recovery mode on the smartphone select "Enter
recovery" and then "Apply update from ADB".
10.In the command line specify the path to the downloaded image (e.g.
"adb sideload ota.zip".
Then you just have to wait for the update to complete. This method should
only be used by experienced users who are able to follow each step correctly.

Stable version
Whatever the case may be, the best option is to wait until Android 12 is
officially released for your device. This could be months or even a year after
release. You are, however, guaranteed to install the update without any problems.
The smartphone owner will simply need to go to the OS update section in the
device settings and confirm the installation.
