Here’s when (almost) all of Samsung’s devices are scheduled to receive Android 12

To the surprise of, well, absolutely nobody, Samsung has once again managed to beat all other Android device manufacturers to the punch by delivering the first global update(s) to the newest version of Google’s OS for a non-Google phone (or three).

Of course, this is just the super-early beginning of a beautiful (and long) Android 12-based One UI 4.0 rollout for several dozen low, mid, and high-end handsets and tablets. And while it might seem impossible to round up every single Galaxy device eligible for an official OS promotion in the next few months, that’s precisely what the company has done in markets like South Korea, Brazil, and Middle East.

For the most part, it looks like Samsung plans to favor Korea over the Middle East and especially Brazil, but before getting overly excited in one region and overly disappointed in another, you should keep in mind that this entire timetable is provisional and subject to (a lot of) change.

If history is any indication, the company may well pull off a number of unexpectedly early updates around the world, possibly starting with a few special Android 12 deliveries by the end of the year. In other words, you should always prepare for the worst when running Android while hoping for the best when owning Samsung.
