November 16, 2021

If you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, you’re probably wondering when your device will get the exciting Android 12 update. Although Google officially released the update about a month ago, it still takes time for manufacturers and carriers to roll it out to all devices.

So when will it reach your Galaxy? The update just started rolling out on November 15 but, unfortunately, it won’t hit every phone immediately—it depends on which Galaxy smartphone you have. Come check out our post with the timeline for yourself.

Other Highlights:

  • Plex just added a ton of awesome holiday channels to its live TV lineup, and they’re free. How’d they know that’s what I was going to ask Santa for?
  • Our very own Josh just tested the Vizio P Series Quantum TV, and thinks it’s a pretty neat gaming TV. Maybe you should pick one up for yourself.
  • Smart switches are one of our favorite bits of smart home tech, and Amazon just launched four affordable options, including some that dim. Neat!
  • … and more! Keep on scrollin’!
