Nothing Phone (1) to miss Android 13 update

Nothing Phone (1) to miss Android 13 update
  • Nothing Phone (1) comes pre-installed with an almost stock version of Android that is based on Android 12.
  • Operating system upgrades will be regularly made available for download.
  • The first half of 2023 will see the release of Android 13 for customers of the Phone (1).

Last month, Carl Pei’s Nothing debuted Nothing Phone (1). It comes pre-installed with Nothing OS, an almost stock version of Android that is based on Android 12.

You are in for some disappointment if you were under the impression that this meant the stable Android 13 would be available for Phone (1) this year.

There is no indication that the Phone (1)’s Android 13 version would only be available between January and June 2023.

To enhance the user experience, the business will nonetheless keep releasing software upgrades for the Phone (1).

“We constantly strive to enhance the Phone 1 user experience. Operating system upgrades will be regularly made available for download in order to guarantee this. The first half of 2023 will see the release of Android 13 for customers of the Phone 1.”

“We want to fine-tune the software upgrade with Nothing’s hardware before we release it.” Nothing mentioned, “We’ll be sure to keep you informed when new information becomes available.”

Three years of Android version upgrades and four years of bimonthly security patches are included with the Nothing Phone (1).

It is equipped with a 6.55″ FullHD+ 120Hz OLED and a fingerprint reader, it is run by the Snapdragon 778G+ SoC.

The Phone (1) has three cameras in tow—a 16MP selfie camera on the front, a 50MP primary camera on the back, joined by a 50MP ultrawide unit—and a 4,500 mAh battery with 33W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities.

Google Chrome to offer handwriting-to-text on Android 13

Google Chrome to offer handwriting-to-text
  • Google is anticipated to release its first tablet in the near future.
  • The tablet Google previewed at its I/O conference earlier this year will ship with Android 13.
  • Samsung devices running Android 13 and equipped with a S Pen may already make advantage of handwriting-to-text mode.

Google is anticipated to release its first tablet in the near future. It’s anticipated that the tablet Google previewed at its I/O conference earlier this year will ship with Android 13.

And to make the Android tablet experience more streamlined, the company is developing additional features.

Since Android is an open-source operating system, tablets from other brands will also have these functionalities.

A Samsung engineer started a few threads in the Chromium Gerrit that aim to implement stylus handwriting-to-text input on Android T, or Android 13, at the very least on editable, non-password text fields in Chrome and WebViews that are based on Chrome.

The technical editor for Esper Mishaal Rahman has been following these threads.

It appears that Samsung handsets running Android 13 and equipped with an S Pen may already make advantage of the feature.

These devices use an internal DirectWriting API, and a contribution has been integrated into Chromium that enables handwriting input as text using this API.

Through the Chromium Gerrit, Samsung is still striving to include S Pen gestures in the handwriting-to-text mode.

Most Android devices will make use of the stylus writing APIs in Android 13. Currently, the overarching input method must support the APIs and the developer option toggle must be set.

Future Gboard and other keyboard app updates are anticipated to include more details about this functionality.
