Usually Pixel get the updates first. Anyway, all OEMs gets the update/vulnerability info. Samsung usually get 2 days prior Pixel/Google releases.

Have got the notification for updating to Android 12 Oct 5 Patch. Will do a update after seeing how it performs. I have seen many pixel owners complaining about App freezing and animations issues. Will wait until its more stable after MR release w/ Pixel feature drops like I did with Android 11.
