Recently Google announced Android 13 Beta during its I/O 2022 developer conference keynote last night. Android 13 Beta will soon begin rolling out to eligible pixel devices, bringing some more material additions along with some other under the hood changes.

If you are interested in pixel and want to try out the beta can do this by visiting the Google Android Beta website. It is also going to be available for some other phone-makers for their top flagships. You can go ahead and try Android 13 beta on any of these devices like the Realme GT 2 Pro or the OnePlus 10 Pro, but be warned that beta builds can often be unstable.

Android 13: What new features are included in it?

Android 13 comes with a new permission setting that controls apps sending you notifications. The update also brings better permissions for pairing with nearby devices and accessing media files. There’s also a privacy-protecting photo picker and native support for HDR video.

Android 13 also brings improved ‘Material You’ design language elements. App icon colours can now be matched with themes and users can enjoy per-app language selection, among other new customisation options.

Android 13 also provides many enhancements for tablets and foldable, which make the most of the extra on-screen real estate users have on these devices. This includes a new notification and quick settings panel and more. Other editions include support for Bluetooth LE Audio, MIDI 2.0 over USB, and the automatic deletion of clipboard history.

In future builds, Android 13 will also avail a new unified Security & Privacy settings page, that will show users clear, easy-to-understand colour-coded indicators of their device’s safety status and how users can improve it.
