On April 27, Google announced today that the first beta version of Android 13 has been launched, pixel 4/4XL/4a/4a 5G, Pixel 5/5a, Pixel 6/6 Pro users can upgrade OTA through the Beta program, or download the full image to install.
Google will hold its annual developer conference next month, when it may make a comprehensive introduction to the android 13 update. As for the official version, Xiao Lei is expected to wait until the second half of the year or later.
It is understood that the most important new feature of the first beta version of Android 13 has appeared in the first two developer previews of Android 13, including Bluetooth low energy audio, as well as new file access permissions, users can decide which files in the album the application can read. In addition, there is a new permission to effectively filter spam notifications, but Xiao Lei believes that this feature is of little use in China.
Android 13 is not much different from Android 12 in terms of interface design style, but some improvements have been made in terms of details, such as the progress bar in the music notification bar, which has been changed to a dynamic wave style. In addition, the new version also supports users to edit the content in the clipboard, which will be more convenient for people who are commonly used to copy and paste, and Xiao Lei suggests that the domestic deep customization system also learn it.
Previously, Xiao Lei broke the MGLRU multi-page recycling strategy, and the first beta version of Android 13 did not seem to be implemented, and it may have to wait until the official version to experience the "full blood" native system. Overall, Android 13 is more like a 12 privacy privilege enhanced version, the current operating system is doing homework in the permissions, there is no particularly obvious improvement in function and design, and it has begun to "squeeze toothpaste" like iOS.
In China, with the increasing attention of mobile phone manufacturers to the operating system in recent years, the Android-based deep customization system has been very perfect, from the perspective of ease of use and humanization, it has been able to cater to the needs of most consumers, and even some of the new features native to iOS and Google are borrowed from the domestic custom system. In terms of personal privacy, custom systems such as MIUI, ColorOS, Magic UI, and Origin OS have also done it, and they are not even bad.
Xiao Lei believes that in recent years, everyone's expectations for the update of the large version of the system have been far less than before, on the one hand, the upgrade point is limited, on the other hand, the rise of the deep customization system, the native system may only be left with the large version update fast, the effect is smooth. Small partners in the use of domestic mobile phones do not have to worry, based on Android 13 customized official version of the system is estimated to be pushed next year.
