As Android 13 is the next iteration of Google’s smartphone operating system, major mobile phone manufacturers like OnePlus and Samsung are working on rolling out the update for their latest smartphones, allowing users to have a cleaner experience, faster and smoother.
Android 13 is currently in beta until March 2023, after which the next version of the operating system will roll out to consumers around the world. The companies have already compiled a list of devices that will receive the next update.
However, it should be noted that Android version updates are usually released over several months. So, some users may have to wait longer than others to get the next version of Android on their smartphones.
