When will Nothing Phone (1) get Android 13 update? Here’s what Carl Pei has to say

Highlights

• Nothing CEO Carl Pei has given a confusing answer when asked about the Android 13 update for Nothing Phone (1).
• A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers, said Carl.
• Nothing promised to roll out 3 Android OS updates and 4 years of security patches every 2 months.

Android 13 stable update is finally rolling to Pixel phones and in just a matter of time, we can expect the update to hit other phones from Samsung, Realme, OnePlus, Vivo, and more. Nothing launched its Nothing Phone (1) back in July and is currently on sale in various markets, including India. The Nothing phone launched with Android 12 out of the box but the company did promise it would receive the Android 13 update soon. When a Twitter user asked the company’s CEO, Carl Pei, about when Nothing Phone (1) will receive the Android 13 update, his reply left people quite confused, to say the least.

Going into the story, a Twitter user asked when the Nothing Phone (1) would receive the Android 13 update. To that, the top executive said, “A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers.”

Nothing Phone (1) Android 13 update

The Nothing Phone (1) Android 13 update timeline is not revealed yet. The top executive’s 
response doesn’t really make any sense but what it could mean is that the brand doesn’t have an update to share about the Android 13 at the moment or it is still a work in progress. Either way, a proper response to the question would have been a little assuring for its customers who have spent their hard-earned money.
