There are a lot of smartphone brands out there, except a few which have stock android, and each one has its own take on Android. So when a new version of the operating system is released, it can be hard to keep track of which brands have announced plans to update their devices. To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of all the brands that have announced their Android 13 update roadmap so far.
Google released the new version of its Android 13 operating system last month. In addition, the company has released a stable Android 13 update to its several Pixel phones. At the same time, shockingly, most Android-based devices are still on Android 11, A whooping 28 percent as per GlobalStats.
Google has said that Android 13 will be available to devices from Samsung Galaxy, Asus, HMD (Nokia phones), iQOO, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, Vivo, Xiaomi and more “later this year”. So, in short, brands which are still alive and kicking have an option to release Android 13-based UI for their different models.
While some handset manufacturers have revealed their update timeline, others have not yet officially shared the list of devices eligible for Android 13.
All Google phones from the Pixel 4 can get the new Android 13. However, Google Pixel 3 or an older model will not get the Android 13 update since software support for these handsets has already ended.
