From October 4th, Google may begin rolling out the stable version of Android 12.

Last week, Google launched the fifth and final beta version for Android 12 with a slew of new system apps. Even though Google announced that the next update will be a stable release, the corporation did not provide a release date at the time. According to a new rumor, the Mountain View behemoth will release Android 12 to the general public on October 4.

Mishaal Rehman, XDA's editor-in-chief, recently tweeted a screenshot of an internal Google document, according to the report. Google will release the source code for Android 12 on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Gerrit on October 4, according to the document.

For those who don't know, Google generally publishes the stable Android version on the same day as the AOSP source code. According to Google's historical practices, the Mountain View company published the source code for Android 9 Pie on August 6, 2018, the same day that the stable version for Pixel smartphones was launched. For the stable releases of Android 11 and Android 12, the firm maintained the same timetable.

As a result, it's quite probable that Google will begin rolling out the stable version of Android 12 on October 4th. Although the upgrade is likely to be limited to Pixel users at first, other OEMs are anticipated to release skins based on Google's most recent firmware in the coming days. Oppo has previously stated that its Android 12-based ColorOS 12 overlay will be shown on September 16.

It's worth noting that, because Google hasn't officially confirmed the release date of Android 12's stable version, the date might change in the future. Furthermore, because Android 12 is a major advance over its predecessors, Google is said to be working on an intermediate version.

In any event, customers won't have to wait long to try out the new Android 12 features and Google's Material You design language. However, whether Google will ship its forthcoming Pixel 6 series before or after the stable release of Android 12 remains to be seen. Time will, I suppose, answer that question. So keep an eye out.
