ZTE makes impressive smartphones, but the company doesn’t have an impressive track record of providing timely software updates for its devices. Falling behind its competitors, the brand has announced the Android 13-based MyOS 13 update for a number of flagship phones, including the Axon 40 Ultra, Nubia Z40S Pro and Z40 Pro. The software update is being distributed in China. Details are here.

According to ITHome, ZTE has started rolling out MyOS 13 stable update for Axon 40 Ultra, Nubia Z40S Pro and Z40 Pro. The update package is 1.79 GB in size and includes Android 13 and MyOS 13. It is recommended to back up important data beforehand to avoid possible risks.

It may take some time for your device to turn on for the first time after updating, so it’s important not to force the device to shut down. Also, the device may get a little warm during the startup process, but this is normal and will pass after a while. If third-party apps are not working properly, it is recommended to update that app to the latest version.
