IT House April 27 news, earlier today, Google released the first Android 13 Beta version for supported Pixel devices.
According to information provided by Esper.io's Mishaal Rahman via Twitter, the files found in the first Android 13 version suggest that the Pixel 6 Pro may get audio capabilities similar to Apple's "Spatial Sound" audio. This feature is adjusted by software to add more dimensions to audio listened to through headphones.
Rahman said that Android 13 Beta 1 has added a new sound field localization effect, although it is not fully enabled. A shared library of this feature was found in the "soundfx" folder, suggesting that such a feature could be rolled down to the Pixel 6 Pro later this year when the official version of Android 13 begins to roll out.
IT House understands that it does not know whether the feature will support Pixel 6, or even older Pixel devices, and is not sure whether current or future Pixel Buds models will support spatial audio effects. If the feature comes true, it will help Google better compete with Apple in high-end audio devices, and such a move should also prompt Google to consider a competitor to release AirPods Max.
