The new operating system android 13 it is in the home stretch and, according to some observers, should have crossed the finish line several days ago. But the final release has apparently been postponed, so it will still be a few weeks before the final release. We’ll show you when to expect it, what the previous schedule looked like, and what innovations you can expect.
Google had it with them android 13 We’ve been in a hurry over the last couple of months, because we’ve literally run through preview builds and release new interim builds several times a month. The release candidate was already available at the end of July, which is the last step before the final version, if no serious problems arise. However, that’s exactly what appears to have happened, with both the release of Android 13 and the Pixel update scheduled for August. have been moved. So far no reason.
Now it seems clear that Android 13 will not be released a few days later, but will wait for the date next month. Because the Android 13 release notes, curiously published on Monday, indicate that the operating system will be delivered at a patch level on September 1. Therefore, Android 13 can be delivered in the last week of August or the first full week of September at the earliest. My theory is that both are true.
This is how Android 13 could be released
Last year, Google officially released Android 12 and only rolled it out to Pixel smartphones two weeks later. It could work again the same way. My suggestion, without any guarantee, is that the final version of Android 13 will be released in the last week of August and then September 5 it will roll out to all current Pixel smartphones. September 5 is the first Monday of the month and would also be the date of the next Pixel Feature Drop, which probably won’t take place in September. Android 13 replaces the Drop feature, so to speak.
Still an early release
In fact, September 5 would still be very early. Android 10 was released on September 3, Android 11 on September 8, and Android 12 on October 4. But the haste with which he ran through the preliminary versions was in vain. All information and a summary of the calendar can be found here in this article.

Which smartphones will receive the update?
Google will supply the fourth to sixth generation Pixel smartphones with Android 13. General rule: all smartphones that were able to participate in the beta will also receive the final version. Depending on their reliability, other manufacturers may use the two-year rule: Smartphones must be serviced two years after they go on sale. So far, only concrete statements have been made.
