Last year, Nothing lately released the Android 13 closed beta in November 2022 while the Android 13 open beta rolled out in December 2022. And now, the next move is definitely the stable update. Users who have grabbed the closed and open beta of Android 13 and are waiting for the stable update, then this news will be very beneficial for them.
Because the stable update of Android 13 is going to roll out soon for Nothing Phone 1. Today a Reddit user shared an image of a mail from a member of Nothing. The email and other parts are hidden but the signature included in the email is nothing from customer support.
