Last month, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro received its first beta of the Android 12L developer preview. Now, Google has started rolling out beta 2 on the Tab P12 Pro. Notably, this built comes two weeks after its release for the Google Pixel phones.

The Android 12L beta 2 brings the December security patch. It also has the SW flashing packages and a 12L Beta 2 image. Unfortunately, the beta build doesn’t have any release notes to refer to. Having said that, we aren’t sure what major changes does it bring, at the moment.

After taking a look at the Lenovo page, we saw that Lenovo has also not updated the list of SW limitations. It is the same as Beta 1. It seems that either Lenovo has forgotten to update the page, or the new Beta doesn’t really bring any fixes(via GSMArena).

Nonetheless, the Beta 2 build is here and you can download it from this link. It is sized at 1.7GB and is for the Wi-Fi version of the Tab P12 Pro – TB-Q706F.

In February, the tablet is expected to get the Android 12L Beta 3 update. The final build will be released in April this year.

Android 12L, which is designed for large-screen devices like tablets and foldables, is currently the latest version of Android. However, Google is yet to release beta builds for Pixels. In the announcement post, the search giant had revealed that a Developer Preview will be available for Lenovo Tab P12 Pro. This DP is now live for the said device.

The Android 12L Developer Preview for the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro comes directly from Lenovo and not Google (via 9To5Google). The first-ever build arrives with all the new APIs and November 2021 security patches.

The software can be only installed on the WiFi-only variant of the tablet with model number Lenovo TB-Q706F. This product is yet to go on sale in multiple countries. However, Google has already announced a special deal on this tablet for developers to try out Android 12L.

Lenovo clearly states that the Android 12L Developer Preview for the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is only intended for application developers. Hence, the software build lacks many customized features, which are available in the stable channel.

The Chinese PC maker says that it has prioritized releasing Developer Preview as soon as possible by not optimizing its self-developed features on its hardware. This software build lacks almost all useful features of the device like fingerprint unlock, face unlock, touchpad gestures, functions related to the ToF sensor, and more.

Lenovo is hoping that developers will continue to provide regular feedback on this build. Anyway, it also offers an option to roll back to the stable channel.

The final AOSP release of Android 12L is scheduled to happen at the end of Q1 2022. We can expect OEMs like Lenovo, Samsung, and others to start rolling out the beta and the and stable builds to their end devices following that.
