It’s worth mentioning that Android 12 developer preview builds or the beta build might not include all the additional features and only come with the official stable release. To be very specific, Google basically allows developers to test their apps against the new Android OS version (APIs) before releasing the OS publicly.
That means the beta and DP builds are only meant for the developer community. In another way, we won’t gonna recommend you installing and using the Android 12 beta build or DP build on your primary device to use it as a daily driver due to potential bugs & stability issues. Now, without wasting any more time, let’s get into the device list below.
