Mobile phone manufacturers have done a very good job in building third-party Android systems, but there are still many die-hard fans who have a soft spot for native Android systems. If you are one of them, you must be familiar with the latest Android 13. On February 11, Google officially released the first Android 13 developer preview. According to the official introduction, this version of the system continues to “make a fuss” around privacy and security. Here are five major upgrade points for you:
First, the system adds a photo selector. Under this function, the application can only access the allowed pictures, not the entire gallery;Then, users can now choose a single color from the theme to adaptively generate style icons;Secondly, the system adds the permission of the adjacent WiFi device, allowing the application to sniff the surrounding WiFi hotspots, but the actual location of the user will not be exposed;Again, the system displays text 200% faster, with almost no sacrifice in rendering performance;Finally, with the boom of folding screen mobile phones, Google specially optimized the folding screen UI for the new system. In the large screen mode, it supports 6 resident applications at the bottom of the main interface.
According to the official introduction, Android 13 will provide developer preview updates from February and beta updates in April. Android 13 Beta 4 will be launched in July, and it is expected that we will see the official version push in October.
In terms of adapting models, it is natural that Google’s “pro-son” is the priority. It is reported that Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 5a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4 models can be upgraded to the developer preview. If you have the above equipment, you may wish to try it after updating.
