If you are already using a previous Android 12 beta, Pixel, or third-party device, you will automatically get the beta 5 update. Remember, Google has already cooperated with OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Asus, Xiaomi and other companies to launch the Android 12 beta program.
In other words, Oppo recently announced that its Color OS 12 software based on Android 12 will be released later this month. Samsung will also launch a beta version of One UI 4 based on Android 12 in September. We are sure that once Android 12 is officially released, other OEMs will follow suit.
