- Tested on Android 13 Nothing.
- The final update is still ongoing.
- It’s kind of frustrating.
Nothing new in the market, but the people behind the brand have a lot of experience. Still, things aren’t looking too good for the Android update for the Nothing phone. Nothing confirms the statement of your own boss.
A while ago he said that new Android versions are nothing important. One certainly wants to swim against the tide, even to the detriment of the users. Android 13 will therefore take some time.
While Samsung and OnePlus already ship devices with Android 13 several years old, none have just started developing the firmware. But the first attempt is going well, Carl Pei said via Twitter. There is no fixed schedule.
This is new in Android 13
The new Android version is less comprehensive than its predecessor. Instead, Google tried to improve and extend some of the existing features. For example, MaterialU’s Dynamic Color has many more color palettes. But things like a media player will also be improved in Quick Settings and even a QR code scanner will be integrated directly into the system!
Google limits external apps’ access to files and media, expands data protection/privacy functions, no longer allows apps to automatically deliver notifications, better controls the clipboard, allows other languages on a per-app basis, and improves multitasking. There are also some innovations for Pixel Launcher.
Android 13 is the launch of Google Wallet, bringing the game dashboard to non-Google Pixel devices. Additionally, seamless synchronization between your devices is planned. If you copy something to your phone, it’s immediately available on your tablet. Bluetooth LE is fully integrated and spatial audio is supported.
