Recently deployed on compatible smartphones, the new version of Android posed some bugs that have forced certain manufacturers like Samsung to temporarily stop its deployment.

If it is above all intended for the most recent devices, the latest Google OS can be installed on older smartphones.This is what a developer did by passing an old Samsung Galaxy S3 on Android 12.

When Android 12 runs on a Galaxy S3

This little sleight of hand was made possible by exploiting a personalized ROM via Lineageos 19.0, based on Android 12. As XDA Developers specifies, if this venerable smartphone has not received an update for years, it isVery popular with lovers of Android root who continued to develop on the device.Result, Android 12 turns surprisingly well on a Galaxy S3, suggesting that recent elements are displayed fairly quickly.

If a certain delay is requested for carrying out tasks, the performance of the Galaxy 3 under the last mobile operating system do not have to be ashamed.Obviously, not all features are available, but the main thing is there: the network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, accelerated video reading and even photo sensors are supported.

Several annoying bugs are still present, like the SIM card unlocking by PIN code, unusable for the moment.Other known problems: the NFC module does not work and formatting the SD card systematically leads to a loop restart of the device.
