It sure feels like Android 13 is getting long in the tooth, given that the Android 14 preview program is underway. Even though Google Pixel phones and all the latest and greatest Samsung phones are at the forefront of receiving new system updates, it doesn't mean that's the case for all smartphones. Many phones are still waiting for their Android 13 update. Read on for a full overview of when and if you can expect an update for your favorite smartphone in the U.S.

Google shot the starting pistol on Android 13's rollout in mid-August, with stable builds now available for supported Pixel devices. The company has also updated the Android Open Source Project with the new version. Other Android manufacturers will be responsible for adapting the latest software to their devices. That process will take some time, but a few plucky OEMs have been making their speedy efforts known. We'll update this article with pertinent information periodically.

In the lists below, we marked phones that received the update in bold, making it easier to spot those still waiting on their releases.

Asus

The Taiwanese tech brand offers beta programs for eager testers to try out new Android versions, but it hasn't been too quick to push them through to the rest of the user base. After an extensive beta-testing period, the company has finally pushed out stable Android 13 to the Asus Zenfone 9. It wasn't until later that other phones from the company joined the club.

ROG Phone

  • ROG Phone 3: Expected
  • ROG Phone 5 / 5s Series: Expected in 2023 Q2
  • ROG Phone 6D / 6D Ultimate: Expected in 2023 Q1
  • ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro: Expected in 2023 Q1

Zenfone

Google

Google released Android 13 to its Pixel phones and the Android Open Source Project repository on August 15. And as goes Google, so should the other OEMs. The update will be the last for the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. Those phones are only guaranteed to get updates until October 2022, with that month's security patch being the last safe update for the devices.

  • Pixel 4: Released in August 2022
  • Pixel 4 XL: Released in August 2022
  • Pixel 4a: Released in August 2022
  • Pixel 4a (5G): Released in August 2022

  • Pixel 6: Released in August 2022
  • Pixel 6 Pro: Released in August 2022
  • Pixel 6a: Released in August 2022

The latest Pixel phones, the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro, come with Android 13. You can grab the factory image for your device from the Google Play services factory images page and the OTA image from the Google Play services full OTA images page.

Motorola

Once a Google property, the Lenovo-owned manufacturer has fallen from grace in the software department. It'll generally stick with two OS updates and two years of security patches for flagships, and possibly one OS bump for other devices.

Motorola's U.K. customer service portal lists devices that will get the Android 13 update. At the same time, its U.S. customer service portal remains stuck on Android 12 updates.

Edge/Razr

  • Motorola Edge+ (2020): Expected
  • Motorola Edge (2021): Expected
  • Motorola Edge (2022): Expected
  • Motorola Edge+ (2022): Expected
  • Motorola Edge+ 5G UW (2022): Expected
  • Moto Razr 5G: Expected
  • Moto Razr (2022): Expected

  • Moto G32: Expected

Nokia (HMD Global)

This is another fallen star in terms of Android updates. In late memory, it's had to delay Android 10 and 11 rollouts for certain devices. For Android 12, only one device on record was promised an OTA. Things are looking a bit better for Android 13, though, with the company promising to bring it to a few phones:

  • Nokia XR20: Released in December 2022
  • Nokia C100: Expected
  • Nokia C200: Expected
  • Nokia G10: Expected
  • Nokia G11: Expected
  • Nokia G11 Plus: Expected

  • Nokia X10: Released in December 2022
  • Nokia X100: Expected
  • Nokia X20: Released in December 2022
  • Nokia X30: Expected

OnePlus (Global)

Oppo-owned OnePlus has been slowing down in terms of rushing Android pulses to its phones. Part of it is a function of the recent codebase merger between OxygenOS and ColorOS. Supposedly, things should be more efficient when the developer teams settle in. We're crossing our fingers.

The company released its first stable release of OxygenOS 13 for the OnePlus 10 Pro on September 21 and managed to get all of its flagship phones on Android 13 before 2022 ended. We have the official list of devices below.

Flagship

Samsung

The world's largest Android phone maker has stepped up its software update commitments over the past few years. More devices are getting more OS updates and more security updates for longer. The company's planning four OS updates and five years of security patches for its 2022 releases.

Android 13 is paired with One UI 5.0 on Galaxy devices. Open beta programs have come and gone, and most supported Samsung devices are on the latest version. The company updated most of its phones before 2023 rolled around, which is impressive.

It may be time to update

As we update this list, we may modify our scope to cover more OEMs in other areas and their device portfolios specific to those regions. For now, if you don't see your device on our list, stay tuned. If you own an older phone or know you're not getting an Android 13 update, it may be time to upgrade. Or, grab the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro if you want Android 13 right out of the box and want to make sure you're first in line for future Android updates, including Google's excellent quarterly feature drops.

Google's Pixel 7 Pro refines the Pixel experience after the 6 Pro's initial stumbles last year, improving stability and taking the camera prowess to new levels with image fusing and 4K60fps video on all cameras. 30W fast charging and Pixel's addictive features like automatic Call screening and Pixel recorder help make the Pixel 7 Pro an alluring phone even as an iterative update.

Google did not reinvent the wheel with the Pixel 7, but there was no need to. With improved cameras, the next-gen Tensor G2 chipset, and Google's wonderfully feature-filled software, the Pixel 7 earns its price tag again this year.
