Infinix Android 13 - Will it get?

Infinix Mobile is a Hong Kong-based smartphone company founded in 2013. The Infinix Android smartphones are a hit with its users due to the availability of the specifications in their budget range. Infinix has launched many smartphones with Android 11, and Android 10.

While other manufacturers have begun developing Android 13, Infinix is struggling to release the Android 12 update to eligible devices. Infinix does not have a good reputation for software updates. The fact that Infinix has not updated a single device to Android 12 is horribly disappointing. Even the company did not provide a list of eligible devices. The Android 12 update is expected to arrive in August on the Infinix Zero 5G.

Android 13 is the upcoming major release of the Android mobile operating system. Android 13 Beta 2 was officially announced in an Android blog posted on May 13, 2022. Here is the list of partner devices which gets Android 13 Beta.

Infinix Android 13 Update List

Currently, Infinix has not released a list of devices eligible for the Android 13 update. Based on the poor Android 12 update rollout from Infinix, only premium phones stand a chance of receiving the Android 13 update that what we think, but they can skip for premium phones as well.

Here’s the list of devices that we think might get the Android 13 update:

• Infinix Zero X
• Infinix Zero X Pro
• Infinix Zero X Neo
• Infinix Zero 5G
• Infinix Note 12 Turbo
• Infinix Note 12 VIP

[Note: This is not the final list. We’ll update the list after Infinix officially releases the list of eligible devices for the Android 13 update.]

It was recently discovered that Infinix Zero 5G will receive Android 12, in the coming August 2022 which is surprising to see, It was mentioned by Infinix India CEO, let us see how things go for this device.

Will your Infinix Smartphone Get the Next Major OS Update?

It would have been better if I had simply said, “No“ and that would have been it since if you've used Infinix smartphones for years, you should already know the story. When it comes to Android updates and general software updates, Infinix and TECNO are both slow and hesitant.

Most times, none of their smartphones get a single software update in a year, no matter how cheap or expensive they cost, and even when they do, maybe just one or two out of the many Infinix smartphones littered all over the place will do so.

Well, there are two answers to this question, the first one is “Yes“, it might, and the second one is “No“, it might not.

Conclusion

There has been no announcement of an Android 13 release date from Infinix. It has also not been announced what is in store for Android 13. Currently, Android 13 is in development, which will continue for several months. It takes smartphone companies two to three weeks for the stable Android version to be released for their devices after Google releases it.
