July 27, 2025
Last year,Samsungpromised it would deliver three years of Android upgrades to most of its devices. Based on that commitment, we already know which devices will likely seeAndroid 12. However, what we don’t know is when those rollouts will happen.
The Samsung Android 12 update is already rolling out now tothe Galaxy S21 series. But what aboutthe Galaxy Note 20 seriesorthe Galaxy S20 series? What about the foldables and the Galaxy A series?

Thankfully, frequent leakerFrontTron(h/t9to5Google) spotted a leaked set of dates that gives us an idea of when to expect the Samsung Android 12 update on numerous phones and tablets. The source of this leak is Samsung itself, although it quickly deleted the list. Additionally, the leaked info applies to Korea, but we expect rollouts in other countries would be quite similar. Therefore, we’re inclined to believe this list is going to be pretty accurate, but any of the information here could change down the line.

Samsung Android 12 updates
As you can see, the highest-profile phones from the past year should see Android 12 before the end of 2021. Newer phones should see it in early 2022, while tablets, budget phones, and mid-rangers should see it later that year. If Samsung can stick to this schedule, the longest you’ll need to wait is until July 2022.
Unfortunately, it appears only the Galaxy S21 series will see the Samsung Android 12 rollout this month. This makes sense as they are the most high-profile and ubiquitous 2021 phones from the company.
If you’re curious about when your non-Samsung phone could see Android 12,we’ve got you covered.
