Nothing Phone 1 isn’t getting Android 13 update anytime soon; Carl Pei gives reason why

The Phone 1 isn’t getting Android 13 update anytime soon because Nothing believes a product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers. This comes straight from founder Carl Pei. Nothing later confirmed to Android Authority that Phone 1 Android 13 update will arrive sometime in the first half of 2023.

Phone (1) runs Nothing OS, a proprietary operating system based on Android, and is eligible to get three years of major OS and up to four years of security updates. Nothing has rolled out three OTA updates since launch with Pei calling the latest one “dope” emphasising on camera improvements and more.
