Carl Pei’s technology startup Nothing launched its first smartphone — Nothing Phone (1) last month. The smartphone was lauded for its transparent design and it also received a good response from customers in India. The smartphone came with Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box and it is also eligible to get Android 13 update.
Here’s what Carl Pei said about Android 13 update for Nothing Phone (1)
As Google has rolled out Android 13 update, companies like OnePlus, Xiaomi and others have also started beta testing for their smartphones. Curious with this latest development, a Nothing Phone (1) user also asked Carl Pei about when Android 13 is coming to Nothing Phone (1).

A Twitter user named Nicolas Lellouche asked Pei when the Nothing Phone (1) will get Android 13 update. To this he replied “A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers.” This clearly hints that presently the company has no exact timeline for the roll out of Android 13 for the Nothing Phone (1).
