Nothing announced that their Nothing Phone 1 will be one of the first smartphones to get early access to the Android 14 Beta 1. Currently, the beta is only available on Google Pixel phones, therefore, it will also be among the first non-Google handsets to get the update. Nothing released its Android 13-based Nothing OS 1.5 update in February earlier this year and the Nothing Phone 1 model is currently running on a Nothing OS 1.5.3 update that was released in March.
The company added that Google has been an early supporter of the brand and that both companies will work together to ensure a smooth experience for its users. Nothing has not yet detailed the timeline for the rollout of this update, but has confirmed that it will be released soon.
Nothing CEO, Carl Pei, also confirmed the news on Twitter. “Early access to Android 14 Beta 1 just dropped. Thanks @Android and @Google, very excited about what Nothing has coming in 2023,” he wrote.
