Android 13 is finally here, and there's not much to talk about. As the operating system matures, new and exciting features are few and far between.
After months of testing, Google has finally unleashed Android 13, its current Android smartphone update for 2022. As far as updates go, it’s not one that you’ll notice. I’ve been ussing Android 13 for around two months prior to its release, and it’s been a pretty whelming experience.
Changes so subtle you may not notice them If iOS 16 changes how your iPhone works in big ways, Android 13 is far more subtle than that. Take Material You, debuting in Android 12. That update revamped how you could use your Android phone and enhanced its customizability. It gave Android, for the first time, a strong sense of being designed rather than engineered.
There’s also a newly redesigned music player in the notification center that adds a splash of color to it and an editable clipboard — and that’s about it for general user-facing features. There are more Andoird 13 features, and they are useful, but they’re also specialist features aimed at a specific audience.
