How long does it take a fledgling hardware startup to deliver a major Android update to its first smartphone? In the case of Nothing, we’re looking at several months and a turn of the calendar into 2023. As noted by Android Authority<\/em>, the company has confirmed that its impressive Phone 1 will receive Android 13 \u201cin the first half of 2023.\u201d That could disappoint at least some buyers who’d hoped the near-stock Android device would get the latest version sometime this year. <\/p>\n \u201cBefore releasing, we want to fine tune the software upgrade with Nothing’s hardware,\u201d the company’s statement reads. Android 13 was released for Google’s Pixel lineup last week, with Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, Sony, Xiaomi, Asus, and other companies planning to roll out the update \u201clater this year.\u201d So, by holding off until 2023, Nothing is putting itself behind the pack. Here’s the full statement:<\/p>\n We are always working hard to improve the Phone 1 user experience. To ensure this, operating system updates will be made available for regular download. In regards to Android 13, this will be launching for Phone 1 users in the first half of 2023. Before releasing, we want to fine tune the software upgrade with Nothing’s hardware. We will be sure to keep you updated with further information.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Last week, Nothing co-founder and CEO Carl Pei tipped off that the Phone 1 won’t be seeing Android 13 anytime soon when he responded to a question on the subject with a total nonanswer.<\/p>\n\n
