Google will release the first Android 12 L Beta version this month. Prior to this, Lenovo Tab P12 Pro took the lead in obtaining the Android 12L developer preview version, which can be downloaded directly from Lenovo’s official website.
According to reports, Android 12L DP1 runs the 2021-11-01 security patch and is “the first large-screen optimized Android operating system, providing developers with new APIs to provide a better App experience in landscape mode, including easier multitasking, system UI optimization, etc.”
However, there are a lot of bugs in the first developer preview version, such as not supporting fingerprints, face unlocking, and multi-finger gesture operations on the touchpad. Users who want to try it out can experience it.
