Google is expected to kill Google Now Launcher by 1 March from the Play store, and will stop making it available in its Google Mobile Services package to OEMs from that date too. For this particular matter, there have been rumors suggesting Google might be preparing for a device that consists of the most powerful software and hardware component in the process likely to kill iPad Pro 2. It will not be any other small software update. Users would need to enroll their device in the beta program and to wait for the company to provide the update over-the-air to take advantage of Android 7.1.2 beta.
When Google released the Pixel devices, they came equipped with the most up-to-date Android operating system: Android Nougat 7.0. The factory images and OTAs now available for current Pixel and Nexus devices.
Still, it’s unlikely Google is going to announce anything Pixel-phone-related at MWC this year, so it’s a tad early to start getting excited about the next Google flagship phone. So, we know there are a lot of questions in your mind, but one thing you can rest assured is, Google Assistant is coming for sure.
The Android 7.1.2 version is the first beta for the next version and apparently it comes loaded with bug fixes. There were talk that Google might have killed off the Pixel and Pixel XL and that they have stopped manufacturing them but is that really the case?
With Pixel smartphones, Google has let-go of its “Nexus” lineup, and has also streamlined the naming scheme for all its devices.

The move appears to bode well for Google as the organization has two launchers on Google Play at this moment – Google Now Launcher and Pixel Launcher. The Google Assistant can be launched on the smartphone by long-pressing the home button.
