The next major software update to Google's Android mobile operating system is officially rolling out. It began with Google's own Pixel phones in August. But the official release of Android 13 for devices from some manufacturers won't happen until next year. If you're confused about this, no worries. Pocket-lint has made it easy for you to understand.

Check below for your phone brand. If it is listed, you can run some form of Android 13 - whether it's a beta or the new official release.

When will Android 13 be available?

On 15 August 2022, the Pixel 4, Pixel 5, and Pixel 6 devices got Android 13 as a free over-the-air software update.

"This month, all supported Pixel devices running Android 12 will receive the Android 13 software update, which begins rolling out for most users today. The rollout will continue over the next few weeks depending on the carrier. Users will receive a notification once the OTA becomes available for their device", a Google support page for Android 13 reads. "Check your Android version and update to receive the latest software."

Android 13 will eventually be available for most newer Android phones and the latest and upcoming Android phones. The software update is expected to arrive later this year for devices from other manufacturers including Asus, HMD, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sony, Xiaomi, and Samsung. Now is the time to figure out what exact phone you have to see if it'll be supported.

When will your phone get Android 13?

As soon as the most popular Android phone makers announce when they plan to support and roll out Android 13 to their handsets, Pocket-lint will update this page with the latest information available.

• Xperia 1 III

Nothing Phone (1)

A stable release of Nothing OS 1.5, based on Android 13, finally arrived on February 16 2023, at least for open beta participants.

If you weren't in the beta, we're expecting the update to roll out to all users in the coming weeks.

Nothing OS 1.5 brings with it some pretty significant performance upgrades, including a reduction in standby power consumption of up to 50 per cent. Impressive stuff. There's also some fun stuff like a new Glyph sound pack and a new collection of wallpapers.

Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi has developed its Android 13-based MIUI 14, and it's beginning to roll out to a number of different models across its own name-brand phones as well as Redmi and Poco models.

The MIUI 14 update is still in beta, for the most part, but that's currently being rolled out to the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Lite, Xiaomi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 11 Pro+.

We're also expecting the update to arrive imminently with:

• Xiaomi 12S series phones
• Xiaomi 12 series
• Xiaomi 11T and Mi 11 series
• Redmi K50, K40, K30 series
• Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 10 series

Almost all of Xiaomi's Poco phones will also receive a customised version of MIUI 14. Though currently, it has only begun to roll out for the Poco F4, and the exact timing for other models is unclear.

What we do know, is that the update is rolling out in two stages, and the first batch will be focused on Poco's more powerful handsets:

• Poco F3
• Poco F3 GT
• Poco F4
• Poco F4 GT
• Poco X3 Pro
• Poco X3 GT
• Poco X4 GT

Then, at a later date Poco's less powerful handsets, such as the M-series, F2 Pro, X3 and X4 Pro will receive the update.
