The Nothing Phone (1) will get the Android 14 Beta 1 soon, the company has confirmed. This means the Nothing Phone (1) will be one of the first devices outside Google’s Pixel lineup that will get the initial beta rollout for Android 14.

Besides Nothing, other OEMs are yet to reveal any details about when their smartphones would receive the Android 14 Beta release. Google’s I/O 2023 event is set to take place on May 10. Maybe on the same day, we can expect Google to release the Android 14
Beta 2 update, and expect other OEMs to disclose the timeline of the Android 14 Beta update for their handset.
Moving on to the Nothing Phone (1) Android 14 Beta 1 update details again, Nothing said that its product team can ensure seamless integration of the upgrade with the Nothing OS, delivering a smooth user experience.
