Google’s new Android 12<\/span>\u00a0operating system for phones looks stunning and is arguably the biggest Android redesign in years. Introduced at Google I\/O<\/a><\/span>, the software giant previewed the new Material You design, features and released the first Android 12 public beta that anyone with a compatible device can install and help test.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

For those who are brave enough to try this early version, the Android 12 beta will include features such as improved privacy controls<\/span> and an adaptive interface that changes the color of your phone’s looks to match your wallpaper. Android devices will also now work better with other devices, like Chromebooks and Android TVs<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If you’re an early adopter ready to help Google test the next Android operating system, here’s everything you need to know about getting Android 12 on your phone right now. And here are the six top Android 12 features<\/span> we think you’ll love.<\/p>\n

Will my phone work with Android 12 beta?<\/h2>\n

Google is releasing the first Android 12 public beta for its line of Pixel phones, as well as select models from OnePlus, ZTE, TCL, Oppo, RealMe, Sharp, Tecno, Vivi, Xiaomi and Asus. Google’s developer website\u00a0published a one-stop website<\/a>\u00a0that includes links directly to the instructions for every hardware partner that’s taking part in the beta program.<\/p>\n

The installation process for each vendor varies, and each phone maker limits which models are included in the beta. For example, OnePlus is currently offering the Android 12 beta for the OnePlus 9<\/span> and OnePlus 9 Pro<\/span>, and strongly suggests that only developers install the beta for now. However, if you insist, you can install the beta. You’ll need to download the update package on your computer, transfer it to your phone’s storage, and then go through the process of installing a “local OTA” update. OnePlus lays out the steps on this forum post<\/a>, which also has a giant warning in red that the update may brick your phone. Yikes.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of partners this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TCL has released an Android 12 preview for the TCL 20 Pro 5G, and warns that the process will wipe all information and data from your phone. The installation process requires you to flash (install) the update using a program TCL built specifically to install the beta using a Windows computer. Here are the instructions<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a Pixel phone, I’d proceed with caution and, realistically, I’d opt to wait for the official release later this year, or at the very least, until closer to the official launch when each company has had more time to fix any major issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google’s install process isn’t as scary, but it doesn’t come without its own share of risks. Here’s a list of the specific Google Pixel models that can take part in the Android 12 beta:\u00a0\u200c<\/p>\n
