Google’s Fall event has just wrapped and while we were listening to the Pixel 6 duo getting announced, Google is now seeding the final version of Android 12 and it is now available for all Pixel smartphone dating back to the Pixel 3. In addition, the factory images are available to download as well.
If you currently have a compatible Pixel device, you can head to the System Settings and check for a System Update.
