The first Paranoid Android beta is live for the Nothing Phone 1

The Nothing Phone 1 was among the most hyped phones of 2022. While the smartphone did not set the sales chart on fire, it stood out among the best Android phones with its unique design and price. Unlike other Android manufacturers, Nothing even actively encouraged third-party development by releasing the phone’s kernel sources and the full device tree soon after its launch. It also teased Paranoid Android coming to the Phone 1, with the first alpha build of the Android 13-based ROM dropping in October 2022. Three months later, the Paranoid Android team is releasing the first beta build of their ROM for the Phone 1.
