Carl Pei keeps his promise and users of the Nothing Phone (1) will be able to try Android 13 before the end of 2022, although they will do so in a public ‘beta’ phase.
Every time more mobiles are receiving Android 13 or prepare for it, though to the most mediatic of all strangely the time had not yet comeand that Carl Pei has always liked to play with the times and with the hype both with their smartphones and with the expected firmware updates and Android by extension.
In any case, good news because at Nothing Phone (1) the time has come for you too start trying your android tiramisu fixalthough it will start as it usually happens in phase beta and pending to polish errors and bugs in final stages of development.
It was officially announced by the brand itself on its social networks, with a direct link through which the holders of a Nothing can access the beta public which will begin around mid-December, no specific dates yet but already with open registrations:
We’re so excited to bring Android 13 to Phone (1).
Beta testing is underway. If you own a Phone (1), you can be one of the first to experience Android 13 with our open Beta program. Starting mid-December 2022.

was obviously one of the most anticipated movements of Nothing since they launched their Phone (1) in July after a gigantic media campaign, almost at the level of OnePlus and with the seal of a Carl Pei who has returned to the industry to do different and more interesting things than the corseted giants of the most premium.
Surely many will be happy because Nothing had made it clear that his priority was not to update too quicklybut focus rather on improve user experience who had remained cold with the previous statement that we are now reproducing:
Although we work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, [en Nothing] We don’t rush updates at the expense of user experience. This also applies to Nothing OS based on Android 13, for which we intend to release a version beta later this year, with a stable release scheduled for 2023.
The promise is fulfilled and whoever has a Nothing Phone (1) and wants to try it You will be able to install Android 13 (not stable) before the end of 2022obviously with the necessary concessions to a firmware that will not be completely polished for now.
It should now be recalled that Carl Pei has guaranteed and promised nothing less than 3 major updates Android for Nothing phonesin addition to 4 years of security patches which will be distributed globally every 2 months, so the maintenance and after-sales support also looks very good at least on paper.
We will have to keep track of Nothing, but for the moment We are going to leave you with the video proof of our Urbantecno colleagues… In case you want to take a closer look at the Phone (1)!
