We’ve already announced the new August Android security updates that have initially arrived on select Samsung and Pixel devices, with many more coming soon and expanding to territories beyond Europe. But this is not the only novelty from Google, since they have published the ‘Android 13 Security Release Notes’ in which they talk about a very interesting detail about the release of the definitive compilation of the expected next version of the operating system for mobile devices, Android 13 stable.
Specifically, it describes the vulnerabilities affecting Android devices that are addressed as part of Android 13. There are 107 of them and they are divided into different sections. One of the most relevant details of these notes and that is related to the 2022-09-01 patch level is that it is suggested that Android 13 could arrive in the month of September. Android 13 devices with a security patch level of 09-01-2022 or later are protected against these issues.
Will it finally be released in September?
Despite this information, we do not have to have this date as the one on which the update for Google Pixel series smartphones will be released, since last year, for example, with Android 12, the Google team took several weeks to start the deployment procedure.
It should also be noted that with the new Android 13 operating system, the developer team has decided to shorten the time of the beta program and it is expected that its plans to launch the final version of its operating system will be earlier than previous years , which is not incompatible with the possible launch of Android 13 in the month of September.
We do not know on what exact date or at what time of the month.
For now, several beta updates have already been released and they are analyzing and fixing bugs. The preliminary version was on March 17, 2022, although its first beta arrived on April 26 of the same year. For now there has already been a fourth beta on July 13, 2022, with several versions of each of them.
For all these reasons, we hope that next month everything will be ready for this new operating system update that will make it possible for you to update your mobile very soon and enjoy all the news that it has prepared for us.
Taking into account that in the case of Android 12 , the release was on October 4, 2021 , we would find that the new stable version of the operating system would be released a month earlier than the previous year.
On some mobiles, it could take months
One aspect that we must take into account is that other phone brands will have their own date on which stable Android 13 will arrive because it is necessary for it to adapt the version of the operating system to the interface and start the update phases.
Depending on the manufacturer and other aspects, this can take anywhere from a few weeks to months.
We will have to be attentive to the next month to see if we receive official confirmation of the final release of this highly demanded version of the operating system and to see when it finally reaches our mobiles.
