Android 13 is already out as a public beta, which means anyone with an eligible device can test the next major software update to Google’s Android mobile operating system.
Google previewed the update and all its new features at I/O 2022 in May, but the official release of Android 13 for Pixel phones and other devices likely won’t happen until August. If you’re confused about this, no worries. Pocket-lint has made it easy for you to understand. Check below for your phone brand. If it is listed, you can run some form of Android 13 – whether it’s the current beta or the upcoming stable release.
When will Android 13 be available?
Android 13 will begin to roll out first to eligible Google Pixel devices later this summer or in early autumn, according to Google’s own timeline. It released the Android 13 developer preview for developers to test in February, and then it began beta releases in the spring. It now hopes to reach platform stability this summer, which means a final rollout for all eligible devices should begin in August or September 2022.
Android 13 will eventually be available for most newer Android phones and the latest and upcoming Android phones. Now is the time to figure out what exact phone you have to see if it’ll be supported.
