New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on August 3, 2021) follows:
Every year Google treats us to a refreshed version of its popular smartphone OS – Android. After Android 12 goes public somewhere in September, news and rumors of what to expect in Android 13 should start ramping up.
Still, even at a time when Android 12 is still in beta, we already have a few details of what to expect when its successor hits the ground.
Of course, we both know the first Android 13 build won’t show up until Q1 2022, so there’s plenty of time to speculate. But not everything in this article is speculation.
For instance, it’s a known fact that the likes of Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL as well as the newer Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G are eligible for this update thanks to Google’s longer software support window.
We’ve also known for a while that LG has plans to bring Android 13 update to a few of its devices, at least the ones that saw it off during its last days.
Owners of the Vivo X60 series can also rest assured that Android 13 is coming their way. Of course, there are also plenty of Samsung devices in line for this update, but that’s a story for another day.
In this article, we focus more on what Google is looking to bake right into stock Android 13. We’ve already highlighted the potential plans of delivering Neural Networks API (NNAPI) updates via Google Play Services with Android 13.
Furthermore, XDA Developers recently revealed something even more interesting. Sure, Google stopped using desserts to publicly identify different OS versions with Android 9 Pie. But this practice lives on in-house.
The current Android 12 “S”, for instance, is known internally as Snow Cone. Apparently, Android 13 “T” is codenamed Tiramisu, which is a coffee-flavored dessert that hails from the home of UEFA EURO 2020 champions.
Upon further digging, the same XDA guys also established that with Android 13, eligible Google Pixel devices may allow secondary profiles to make NFC payments.
Despite having been around for quite some time, multi-user support has been missing the ability to configure NFC payments on secondary profiles. As per the report, this changes with Android 13 update.
But as noted, there’s still plenty of time between now and the official release of Android T, so yeah, a lot can change by the time the stable version arrives.
On the brighter side, we’ll be closely following all related developments and update this article accordingly whenever we bump into new and interesting stuff. Stay tuned.
