Nothing OS 1.5.0 based on Android 13 beta coming to Phone (1) soon, hints Carl Pei - Economic Times

Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, recently teased a new software update Nothing OS 1.5.0 for Phone (1), which seems to be based upon Android 13.

Earlier it was reported that Android 13 was set to arrive on Nothing Phone (1) somewhere around early 2023. However, going by the screenshot shared by Pei on Twitter, we can spot the beta update for the Nothing Phone (1) as it shows Nothing OS 1.5.0 under software info.

This is will mark the brand's first smartphone running on this operating system which seems to be based on Android 13.

For a few months now, there have been complaints around Nothing's only smartphone in the marked, the Phone (1), so the rush to roll out Android 13 in beta for users had been in the works by the tech company. While the tech brand had suggested rolling out the OS update by the end of 2022, with hopes of releasing the Android 13 stable version by early 2023, it seems like the users might not have to wait that longer.

In the teaser tweet, several people asked Pei when will the upcoming beta program be rolled out, to which the CEO replied "soon".

Pei didn’t share any further details regarding the much-awaited updated. The UK-based technology company, Nothing, launched its first Android smartphone earlier this year.

The Nothing Phone (1) launched on July 21, went on to become one of the most popular Android devices in 2022. A futuristic design coupled with top-of-the-line features, make the Nothing Phone (1) one of the most efficient smartphones in its segment.

The Nothing Phone (1) comes with a 6.55-inch Full HD+ Display. It has a 50MP+50MP camera setup on the rear panel and a 16MP front camera. The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ processor and is backed by a 4,500 mAh Lithium-ion battery.
