The Chinese company announced that Android 12 beta versions of iQoo 7, iQoo 7 Legend, iQoo Z3, iQoo Z5 and iQoo 3 will be launched in India in December this year. The new beta version will include the latest Android experience. We can also look forward to some adjustments and proprietary changes in iQoo. In addition to iQoo, other subsidiaries of China’s BBK Electronics, including Oppo and Realme, also announced plans to include Android 12 in their flagship products later this year.
According to the timetable provided in the press release, iQoo 7, iQoo 7 Legend, iQoo Z3 and iQoo Z5 will receive the Android 12 beta from the end of December. On the other hand, iQoo 3 will receive a new Android version in beta before the end of March 2022.
iQoo has not yet detailed what features the new beta release will bring. We can, however, expect all the core Android 12 features alongside a few custom changes.
The company said that the Android 12 beta update for all iQoo phones will be released in phases. This obviously means that not all users will get the beta at the same time, and it may take more time to reach your phone.
Although iQoo 3 launched Android 10 in India last year, iQoo 7, iQoo 7 Legend, iQoo Z3 and iQoo Z5 were launched earlier this year and are based on Android 11.
In addition to iQoo, Oppo also announced ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 earlier this month. It will initially launch a public beta for Oppo and OnePlus phones later this year. Realme, the brother of iQoo and Oppo, also announced plans to introduce Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 to its flagship Realme GT and Realme X7 Max and Realme GT Master Edition models later this year.
In addition, Taiwanese manufacturer Asus announced that it will bring a stable Android 12 version to its ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip from December. The company also plans to bring new Android updates to ROG Phone 5 and ROG Phone 5s in the first quarter of next year. In addition, ZenFone 7 and ROG Phone 3 will get Android 12 in the first half of this year.
Details regarding the release of Android 12 on ASUS ROG Phone 5 and ROG Phone 3 in India have not yet been announced.
