Ceage SottoAndroid 7.1.2 beta is ready to roll out with compatible devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program. Google announced that the new update will refine the operating systems' pre-existing features. The company behind the world's most used OS platform will bring in new enhancements.
The beta build is currently being distributed to beta testers enrolled in the Beta Program. The devices include Google's Pixel and Pixel XL, Nexus 5X and Nexus Player.
