Android 13 gets tested on Nokia phones

Nokia Mobile has introduced in pre-orders for the Nokia X30 5G mannequin that this cellphone has been assigned to the Android Developer Preview program. This signifies that the most recent Android working system model, Android 13, is now being labored on with Google, and builders can check their apps on X30 earlier than the secure model arrives. Additionally, being within the developer program often signifies that the cellphone on which the most recent OS model is first tested is the primary to get it.

The secure model of Android 13 was launched on August 15, and the primary phones to obtain it have been the Google Pixel phones. This replace nonetheless did not work correctly, so it is also not all the time useful to have the most recent working system in a secure model. Anyway, Google talked about that the replace ought to be obtainable for different manufacturers by the tip of 2022. Besides Asus, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sony, Xiaomi and Samsung, Nokia phones must also be included.

According to the most recent Geekbench listings for the Nokia X30, Android 13 is being tested on Nokia Mobile’s newest midranger. The Nokia X30 was noticed on this check on November 5 and scored 657 factors within the single-core check and 1920 factors within the multi-core check, which isn’t a lot completely different from the outcomes of the X30 with Android 12. The outcome signifies that the subsequent OS model won’t decelerate the SD 695 5G processor, which is nice information.

I did the identical test for Nokia G60 5G, Nokia X20, Nokia XR20, Nokia X10 and Nokia G50 and located that Android 13 was additionally tested on these units. The dates return from earlier than the discharge of the secure model for X20, to the tip of October for G60 5G. One can query the reliability of the Geekbench listings, nevertheless it may additionally point out that Nokia Mobile is extra energetic in testing the most recent OS variations for its fashions. The Android 12 launch roadmap was fairly lengthy and I hope that with Android 13 we are going to launch a transparent roadmap.

Now everybody desires to know when precisely Android 13 shall be launched for the X30, or for different Nokia units for that matter. This reply can’t be mentioned with certainty. It’s been a very long time because the first Geekbench exams have been run for some fashions and X30 is the freshest of all of them. We know from the Android 12 launch dates of some Nokia fashions that the preliminary outcomes on Geekbench don’t point out that the replace shall be launched quickly. However, we all know for certain that Android 13 is coming! Not dangerous, not dangerous in any respect.
