Do note that this the beta version of Android 12 underneath FunTouch OS. Hence, you will need to exercise caution before downloading it on your phone. We recommend not downloading it on your device if you rely on it completely; wait for the stable build to rollout.

Android 12’s rollout has been delayed when compared to Android 11’s release last year. For the first time, Google had released the AOSP stable code for Android 12 while not releasing the update for its Pixel devices. Several manufacturers like Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi and others have already started testing their beta versions. The first stable rollouts are expected to happen just before the year ends.

The Vivo X70 Pro+ is currently the company’s flagship smartphone in India that offers some top-grade cameras as well as the high end Snapdragon 888+ chipset. The phone comes in at a price of 79,990. The Vivo X60 Pro+ and X60 Pro were the company’s early 2021 flagships relying on the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 respectively.
