Android 13 beta is out for Specific devices

 Google released Android 13 beta 

Now that the Android 13 beta is out, I thought it'd be a good idea to download and install the thing - my job is to test tech, after all, and I wanted to see what upgrades it might bring.So I dutifully booted up a Google Pixel 6 Pro that was ready and waiting in the TechRadar office, enrolled it in the beta program, and settled in to test out the new Google-built software...


...but after doing so, I really don't think you should, especially if you're doing it on your daily smartphone.I had to leave my phone alone for over 120 minutes as it downloaded the 2.14GB file at an excruciating rate, and then installed it even slower - admittedly our office Wi-Fi being awful was no help here.

Avoid Android 13's beta

My first warning sign about the Android 13 beta was when I set my phone up to download and install it - the process took over two hours.

Annoying new features

One of the big new Android 13 features is changes to security and permissions in apps, and from my time testing the beta, this is the most apparent one... in the most annoying way.
