Nothing has started the open beta programme for Nothing OS 1.5 — the company's version of Android 13 — on Thursday. The programme is open to a limited few who had enrolled in the beta programme. Nothing will gather feedback from the beta testers and keep tweaking 1.5 till public release in early 2023, the company said.
As per the company, "Nothing OS 1.5 promises to be smoother and more secure", with exciting new custom features just for Phone (1). My update has yet to land as of this writing, and I will share my experience as soon as I update my Phone (1) and use it for a couple of days.
According to Nothing, on offer are the following features — some of these are part of the Android 13 package, while some others, such as a custom app and a self-repair feature — clearing caches and expired system dumps — are unique to Nothing.
Nothing, however, notes that, considering the software is still in its beta stage and not final, there are bound to be bugs during tested. Apps such as Netflix and Google Pay will not be functional, said Nothing.
If you're part of the beta programme and wish to update, head to Settings>System>System Update. Once you get the prompt, hit update and voila, you have Android 13 on your Nothing Phone (1).
