The Nothing Phone 1 launched not long ago with a unique design and OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei at the helm. While the Nothing Phone 1 is set to get three years of Android updates, it’s not clear when Android 13 will arrive, and Carl Pei isn’t exactly forthcoming with a timeline.<\/p>\n

When the Nothing Phone 1 launched, it was promised a decent<\/em> Android support commitment, but one that wasn’t terrible either. Three years of Android OS updates, starting on Android 12, with bi-monthly security updates for four years. It’s roughly the same policy that OnePlus has on its smartphones.<\/p>\n

But now Android 13 is out, and rolling out to Pixel phones widely as well as in beta testing for devices from OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi, and more.<\/p>\n

Nothing, on the other hand, has yet to confirm any plans for its Android 13 upgrade on the Nothing Phone 1. When asked about the subject, Carl Pei had an interesting reply<\/a>saying that a phone is \u201cmore than just its specs, features, and version numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

While true, it’s certainly not a faith-instilling sentiment for new customers. <\/p>\n

A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers<\/p>\n

The speed of software updates don’t necessarily make or break an experience, but they’re a key part of any phone, especially one that puts software as a central selling point. On its website, Nothing advertises the device as including \u201conly the best of Android\u201d with a \u201cperfected\u201d experience.<\/p>\n

Nothing’s update commitment already falls behind most of the competition and addressing a valid question like this can be easily seen as a bit off-putting, especially when there are still software problems with the existing builds. Our Max Weinbach has been documenting his first experiences with the Nothing Phone on Twitter<\/a>including several glaring issues such as broken auto-rotate. <\/p>\n

In any case, we hope to see Nothing put out some status on its plans for Android 13, but we’ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
