Android 12 has only appeared on a handful of smartphones, but a successor is in the works. App developers have been able to work with Google’s new operating system for a while, and now a beta version has appeared. What can we expect from Android 13?
Anyone who already has Android 12 on their phone will have noticed: the operating system has been given a completely new design. As the name ‘Material You’ of the new design suggests, you can personalize your phone even more. For example, the colors in Android 12 are automatically adjusted according to the background you choose, and you can also adjust your phone’s color scheme in all sorts of ways.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Google did not make radical changes to the design of Android 13. But that doesn’t mean we can’t expect new functionality and minor tweaks.

In this way, you can synchronize the appearance of application icons for much greater integrity on your screen. The icons all have the same style and color which makes it look streamlined. However, this will only be possible with Pixel phones in the first place. Additionally, the app developer must provide an icon that fits the Your Material concept.
Also, expect some new color palettes and a different time display on your screen.
In addition, some improvements are foreseen in the area of functionality. For example, you will no longer need a separate app to scan QR codes and there will be support for Bluetooth LE Audio and Low Complexity Communications Codec. This provides improved sound quality with lower power consumption. If you often listen to music on the road via your Bluetooth headset, you will appreciate this improvement.
Apps on Android 13 also need to ask for permission to send push messages. This makes it possible to receive notifications only from certain apps. Android lags behind iOS in this regard. On iOS, you can turn off notifications for certain apps for much longer.
Also, apps will be available in multiple languages soon. You can choose a different language for each application.
release
In May, Google prepared a timeline for Android 13. This indicates that the company is looking to roll out multiple beta versions of the operating system during April and July. Two beta versions have already been released and it is believed there will be four in total. The official launch of Android 13 could take place in August of this year.
