At long last, (8 days), the last U.K. carrier branded phone update is now rolling out.

Only 10 days after beginning, Samsung has virtually completed the roll-out of Android 12, One UI 4, to over 100+ of their global branded and unbranded Exynos devices for Europe, Asia, Africa and the Nordic and Baltic regions.

It is now the turn of South America to receive Android 12 beginning with its release to the Chilean non-carrier branded devices on CSC code, CHO.

No news I'm afraid on when Australia and New Zealand will be updated yet but it shouldn't be too long.
