It is strange to speak of Android 13, which is the next version of the operating system. It's actually not that funny considering some devices are already trying it out. This is the case with three Xiaomi smartphones and the latest tablet: Xiaomi 12, 12Pro e Pad 5. In fact today, on the occasion of the Google I/O, the brand has decided (although it is not its exclusive decision) to release the first version Beta of Android 13 for these devices. A step forward, therefore, even if some smartphones (few to be honest) have not yet updated to Android 12.
Android 12 must reach everyone but Android 13 is already on Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro and Pad 5. The first build was released today. Do you want to try it?
The Google I / O event starts today in the USA, in which the company will officially talk about Android 13 and will unveil the list of partners for the official beta testing program for the new OS. However, Xiaomi did not wait for Google's announcements and announced that Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro and Pad 5 will update. To be honest, the update has already arrived at the first Beta Testers who are testing the news Right now. There presence of Xiaomi Pad 5 tablets in the list seems quite unexpected since, in terms of software updates, they usually get less attention than smartphones. Unexpected yes, but positive: maybe Pad 5 will be the most updated and supported of the brand's tablets.

But having said that, what are the news that await us with Android 13? For the moment we have some samples and nothing is official. We know that Material you will continue to be there (here an in-depth analysis). As revealed later, Android 13 will continue to develop the project Mainline, which allows update system components via Google Play. For example, this will allow the new photo selection feature to be implemented on older versions of Android as well.
Another novelty that we will find on Android 13 is the functionality that Apple has been offering for years: the LED flash brightness control. Not on / off, but gradual.
