Nothing, the consumer electronics brand founded by former OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, has recently confirmed that its flagship device, the Nothing Phone (1), will receive the Android 14 Beta 1 update in the coming few weeks.
This news comes after Google released the update for its Pixel devices earlier this month. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the upcoming Android 14 Beta 1 update for the Nothing Phone (1) and explore the phone’s features and specifications.
Android 14 Beta 1 Update for the Nothing Phone (1)
