Any scope on when we'll get the android 13 update for the z fold 3?

I received my Android 13 update this morning courtesy of Motorola.  So far, so good with a couple of new and useful features.  I wasn’t too impressed with 12, but fortunately, I've only been 2 months with it (Android 12) and already a 13 update.

There is nothing newer. This is the latest and greatest, and they’ve already updated older Samsung phones. Even Samsung is selling the flip 4 direct to consumers with Android 13 for any carrier. My time with Tmobile is coming to an end. Embarrassing to both Tmobile and Samsung for letting them do this after they finally switched to an aggressive update policy.

well at this point its in the testing phase..

Well at this point it is frustrating. The TMO app bloat can't be worth the time it's taking, can it?

Is TMO the last major wireless provider in line in the US to get this is update to these phones?

I gotta say, it's frustrating to have spent so much on this device through TMO just to have to sit at the side of the pool while the the cool kids get to play:

That's also HTCs method.  Samsung releases to carriers first and simultaneously than the carrier software engineers begin customization with the development teams from Samsung. 

Each carrier is soley responsible for distribution and final development for locked phones.  Tmobile is behind as usual when it comes to software releases, they have been since they restructured their management and bought sprint. 

Tmobile is far worse as a carrier than before and I've been with them since the G1 back in 08.

either way you want to look at it the add ons are creating delays..the V variant passed its add on testing before TMOs did.

heres the run down on how updates are handled start to finish..no difference between OEMs on how theyre handled..

Actually it gets released to the carrier and THEIR engineers as the carrier specific elements.

So once again tmobile is the sole delay

lol sure thing. only reason V kicked theirs out sooner is it passed testing before TMOs variant did..nothing more...nothing less..again..the OEMs are the main ones that create it for their devices and then adds in whatever the carrier requests be added on after the fact..which is where most issues/delays come in.
