Which smartphones will be updated to Android 13 in 2026: official lists of manufacturers

Update to Android 13 is not just a change in the number in the operating system version, but a serious improvement in the security, performance and functionality of your smartphone. Even if your device was released 2-3 years ago, there is still a chance to get the latest firmware - but only if the manufacturer included it in the official list of supported devices.

In this article we collected up-to-date data on all major brands (based on official announcements and leaks), analyzed the nuances of updates for flagships and budget models, and also explained why some phones will never receive Android 13 —even if they are technically able to “pull” it. Important: information on some brands (for example Realme or Oppo) may differ depending on the region, so we have clarified the details for the CIS market.

If your model is not on the list, don’t rush to get upset. At the end of the article, we will tell you how check for the update manually through hidden Android settings (this method works even for devices that the manufacturer “forgot” to update).

Official lists: which brands have already confirmed Android 13

Smartphone manufacturers usually share plans for updates in advance - but they do not always adhere to the stated deadlines. Below we have provided confirmed data from Samsung, Google, Xiaomi and other companies, and also clarified which models already received Android 13, and which are still waiting for their turn.

Important: some brands (for example, Huawei) have completely abandoned Google services, so their firmware based on EMUI 13/HarmonyOS although based on the Android kernel, is not “pure” Android 13. We did not include such devices in the lists.

• ⚡ Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco: only flagships (Mi 11, Redmi K50) and some middle-class models. Budget smartphones (for example Redmi 9A) will not receive updates.
• ⚠️ OnePlus: after the merger with Oppo the update policy has changed. Now only flagships (OnePlus 10 Pro, 9 Pro) receive 3 major updates.

Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco: who will update and who will not

Why does Xiaomi take so long to release updates?

The company tests firmware on hundreds of models, so priority is given to flagships. In addition, MIUI is highly customized, and adapting a new version of Android takes longer than Google or Samsung. Google Pixel: which models will be updated and which will not

Google Pixel: which models will be updated and which won't

Google updates its smartphones the longest - up to 5 years for new models. However, even they have limitations: for example, Pixel 3a and older remained on Android 12, technically they could “pull” the new version.
