Google has released the Android 12 in the market. And several OEMs join the OS with their custom skins for more features. After Android 12, the next version to arrive will not be Android 13, but Android 12L, an update less for mobiles but very important for tablets, folding, and Chromebooks, and whose launch is just around the corner.
Google also wants to have its say and releases Beta 3 of Android 12L, its new operating system dedicated to folding devices. For the first time, the Pixel 6s are also among the devices compatible with Android 12L. This would be the last beta scheduled for this month of February, announcing that the final version of Android 12L will arrive in March.
