What are Android 13 features? Although Android 12 has not yet found its way into many handsets, Google has been developing Android 13 for a long time. Fortunately, a lot of information has been released about this operating system, so we can talk about its new features.
Release date
Before Android 10, Google used the name of delicious snacks for different versions of its operating system. Although this is no longer the case officially, among engineers and in the internal code, each newer version still uses different food names. According to leaked codes, Android 13 is referred to by Google engineers as Tiramisu. However, as we said, this new version will be released as Android 13.
Regarding the release date, we must say that the first preview version of its developers will probably be released next month, and in the spring we will see the release of the latest preview version of the developers. Google has not yet released the release schedule for Android 13, but according to previous versions, Google will release a preview version of the operating system, and then we will have to wait for the release of 4 beta versions, and finally the final version will be available to users in late summer.
Appearance changes
Android 12 has made a lot of changes compared to previous generations, thanks to the use of Material You design language. In this version, users have access to more personalization features, for example, the color of menus and different sections change according to the background images, and we also see more attractive animations. It seems that Android 13 will bring more features based on these changes.
More features for personalization
In Android 13, users have access to more colors to personalize different parts of the operating system. As you probably know, the final version of the Android 12L operating system will be released soon and it looks like this feature will be used for it.
Personalization of the clock on the lock screen
Although many user interfaces on LockScreen offer many options for personalizing the watch, on raw Android these features are very limited. In this new version, users can select the mode of the large number in the center of the screen or the small number in the upper left of the upper part.
Redesign the sound output control section
Android Police site reports that in Android 13, the design of the sound output has been changed. A screenshot has also been released in this regard and it seems that we are facing a very minor change so that this section is more in line with the design language of Material You.
Performance improvements
Android 12 was introduced with features such as scrolling screenshots, one-handed use mode and smarter settings for auto-rotate. But for Android 13, what features should we expect to offer?
Improved access to QR Code scanners
QR Code is used for various tasks such as sharing WiFi password, accessing the restaurant menu and other such tasks. But now users of Android phones have no choice but to unlock the phone to access the QR Code scanner. Now, according to leaked information, Android 13 users will probably be able to access the QR Code scanner via a lock screen. A shortcut is also embedded in the Android Quick Settings section.
Full support for LE Audio Bluetooth
Users who are very interested in using Bluetooth headsets or speakers will get a very important feature with Android 13. Although Android 12 supports the LE Audio Bluetooth API, it has not yet made full use of this feature. Now based on the leaked code from Android 13, it seems that this operating system fully supports Blu Audio LE Audio. This feature is very important because it can increase battery life and communication power without compromising sound quality.
Easy transfer of audio files
One of the possible features of Android 13 allows users to listen to music playing through the speaker as they bring their phone closer to a speaker. We seem to be dealing with a feature similar to Apple’s Hand Off Audio. This feature allows users to bring their iPhone or iPod touch closer to the homepad so they can listen to their favorite songs through the speaker.
It is not yet clear what technologies Google has used for this feature, but technologies such as NFC or UWB may be used. It should be noted that this feature has been announced by an informed source, and since no code has yet been found for its existence, we should consider this feature with skepticism for now.
Change the language of different applications
According to published reports, the new version of Android allows users to change the language of various applications in the operating system settings, regardless of the main language of the operating system. Screenshots have also been published in this regard, which show the desired feature.
Behind the scenes changes
As usual, Android 13 also makes behind-the-scenes changes that simply improve the overall quality of the operating system.
Permission for notifications
According to the available evidence, Android 13 provides instant permission for notifications. This means that applications can only display various notifications if they are licensed. Like other permissions, users will have more control over notifications, and we can also set a time limit for them.
Improve battery life
Google’s new technology called Android Resource Economy (TARE) can reduce the energy consumption of applications. Simply put, Google has developed a credit-based system for this technology, and as the battery capacity decreases, the number of credits allocated to each application decreases. By activating this system, various applications must adapt to this system by reducing activity or closing unused or less useful processes.
In this article, we covered all the new features of Android 13 that have been revealed over the past weeks and months. Do you think this new version will have attractive changes compared to the previous generation? Share your opinion with us and others in the comments section.
