But we have taken the promised update cycles into account and compiled these lists. Still, take these lists with a grain of salt right now. We suggest you bookmark this page as we will refresh it regularly and deliver the latest Android 13 update information from major OEMs.

*TBA means To Be Announced

If you don’t already know, Google has officially rolled out the stable Android 13 update to Pixel 4 and newer devices. Older devices like the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a didn’t make the cut and cannot be updated to Android 13. Here’s a list of eligible Google Pixel devices that are running Android 13:

Alongside the launch of the OnePlus 10T earlier in August, OnePlus also unveiled the next iteration of its software skin – OxygenOS 13. Yes, we are not getting a unified ColorOS-OxygenOS update as the plan was scrapped, but as shown in our recentOxygenOS 13 hands-on video, OxygenOS 13 = ColorOS 13. It’s OxygenOS for the namesake, but you get all the ColorOS features and design elements here.

Samsung is yet to officially announce the next iteration of its software skin, One UI 5.0, but it recentlystarted beta testingthe build on the Galaxy S22 series in select countries. Also, if you remember, the South Korean company confirmed that it will push four years of software updates to its flagships, tablets, foldable phones, select budget phones, and more.

This means many budget-centric M- and A-series Samsung phones will also get the Android 13 update soon. Here’s a comprehensive list of Samsung Galaxy phones that will get the latest version of Android:

Motorola hasquietly revealedthe initial batch of Edge and G-series smartphones that will get the next-gen Android 13 update via a security updates page on its official website. The devices listed below weremarked with the “Next OS” phrase, which strongly hints at Android 13.

With the announcement of ColorOS 12 last year, Oppo revealed a new update plan for its smartphone lineup. The Chinese giant said that it will offer three Android updates for the Oppo Find X series, two Android updates for the Reno as well as the F series, and only one Android update for select Oppo A series phones.

You might not find a number of Oppo phones that are set to receive ColorOS 13 here as they will only get the latest skin, changing the look of the software, but it will likely not be based on Android 13. Some of these devices are Oppo A76, A55, A96, K10, Find X2, and others. You can check out the completeColorOS 13 India update release scheduleand global release timelineright here.

Xiaomi has not officially announced MIUI 14 based on Android 13, but arecent reportby XiaomiUI revealed a long list of devices that will receive the upcoming OS update. There is no word on the MIUI 14 release date at the moment, but rumors suggest it could happen soon or alongside the Xiaomi 13 series launch.

Apart from the flagship Xiaomi smartphone lineup, the Chinese company will also bring the latest iteration of MIUI to its budget and mid-range Redmi smartphones. Here is a list of Redmi phones that will get the MIUI 14 update (only a select few will get the Android 13 update, though):

As per the leaked eligible device list linked above, close to 20 Poco phones are set to receive the MIUI 14 update once it’s announced later this year. However, not all of them will get Android 13 and will simply see a software skin update.

While OEMs like Xiaomi are taking their sweet time to revamp their Android skin, there’s no reason for Realme to be mum about its next-gen Realme UI plans. We all know Realme UI 4.0 (or Realme UI 5.0) will be a slightly skinned version of ColorOS 13 and provide the same Aquamorphic design, improved sidebar, new privacy features, and more.

It seems like most Chinese OEMs are allowing their flagship phone owners to test their latest Android skins ahead of rollout, and well, Vivo is one of them. Vivo X80 Pro users, as well as iQOO 9 Pro users, in select countries, including India, can nowbeta-testthe FunTouchOS 13 update based on Android 13 .

When HMD Global took over the reins of Nokia, everyone was excited to witness the revival of their beloved brand, and the Finnish giant did an amazing job to boot. Android One phones with clean software, no bloatware, and timely updates, Nokia was set to become the go-to choice for many. But, it all went downhill quickly, and we no longer place trust in HMD Global to deliver timely Android updates.

Nothing Phone (1), the most anticipated smartphone release of the year, is promised to get 3 years of Android OS updates. But the company is yet to announce any details about the Android 13 update for the Phone (1), and founder Carl Pei’s Twitter post has only fanned the fire for enthusiast consumers.

At the moment, the company is trying to eliminate the plethora of bugs (watchYouTube video review) already plaguing the clean Android experience on the Nothing Phone (1). But Pei’s response to future software updates paints a disappointing picture for customers, who look forward to the newest features.
