Android 13 will make it mandatory for smartphone manufacturers to implement the continuous update system, which has been optional since it was introduced in 2016.

Rolling updates or A/B system updates were introduced in 2016 with Android 7.0 Nougat. As Google explains, they “ensure that a working bootable system remains on disk during an over-the-air (OTA) update.”

This system facilitates updates in the background while the user is still using the device and reduces subsequent reboot time, among other benefits.

This way of distributing updates is currently optional for manufacturers, something that will change with Android 13, since it will make its implementation mandatory, as Esper.io’s technical editor, Mishaal Rahman, reports on his blog.

Although the “Definition of compatibility” document with Android 13 does not yet require this mechanism, the requirements to be able to incorporate Google Mobile Services (GMS) do, according to Rahman, which means that Android devices that are to arrive they must implement it.

Google raised the minimum technical requirements that smartphones must meet in order to update to Android 13 and load Google Mobile Services (GMS), which affects the most basic terminals, normally launched under Android Go Edition.

Android Go is a lighter version of Google’s mobile operating system, designed specifically for the most basic devices, with less than 2GB of RAM. The optimizations it includes allow you to speed up the performance of your phone and applications while saving on mobile data.

The company published the list of requirements for Android mobile devices to update to Android 13 and use GMS, as indicated by Google product expert Jason Bayton and collected by Esper.io technical editor Mishaal Rahman in Twitter.

According to Bayton, the new phones will need to have at least 2GB of RAM. This requirement also applies to new devices with Android Go, which must also have a minimum internal capacity of 16GB.

This means that devices that currently have Android 12 installed but do not meet the new minimum requirements will not be able to update to Android 13.

Google unveiled new features in Android 13 for Business, including, but not limited to, the ability to more easily separate and switch between work and personal profile and data.

The Mountain View company offers, through Android Enterprise, a range of tools and services to administer and manage devices based on its operating system used by a company.

The operating system also arrived at these phones, and it has done so with new features, as Google explained in a statement posted on its blog.

Android 13 allows you to customize the user experience of these devices from the Android Management application programming interface (API).

To do this, it introduces the ability to edit user settings, among other customization options. Additionally, this means the Android Enterprise team will be able to roll out new features more often, according to Google.

La entrada Android 13 will have new features for companies apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The latest version of Google’s operating system, Android 13, began deployment on Pixel terminals after completing the beta phase, with an eye toward its arrival on other brands’ smartphones later.

Android 13 maintains the Material You design language introduced with its predecessor, Android 12, which allows you to customize interface elements such as apps, including non-Google apps, to match the color theme of your wallpaper.

Users can set a language for each application individually, which can be different from the one they have assigned for the system, and customize Bedtime mode with a dark theme and wallpaper dimming.

This version of Android also protects information copied to the clipboard from unwanted access, and extends control over app notifications. And in audio, it introduces spatial audio for wireless headphones and the Bluetooth Low Energy Audio standard, which improves synchronization with the sound source.

Other features focus on improving multitasking and workflow synchronization with other devices such as Chromebooks, as stated by the company on its official blog.

Google suggested that the first official part of the latest version of its operating system Android 13 will be available for download starting next September.

The company teased this release in its Android Security Release Notes, published on August 1st, which includes “details affecting Android devices that are addressed as part of Android 13.”

Specifically, Google said that Android 13 devices with a security patch of 2022-09-01 or later are protected against these problems and that, according to its open source project (AOSP), this version “will have a security patch level default” on that date.

This suggests that the latest Android update would be available for download next September and that it will arrive with the security patch of September 1st, 2022.

However, the level of security does not necessarily indicate when the implementation of Android 13 will occur on Pixel devices, which it reaches in the first instance, as recalled from 9to5Google.

Android’s screen reading tool, Talkback, will add support for braille displays in the coming weeks, a novelty in accessibility aimed at smartphone users who are blind or deafblind.

Braille screens are a device that generates dots on the flat surface to help blind or deafblind people to read, and there is also the possibility of composing text with them.

These screens can be connected to an Android device to help use the equipment, but require a separate app download, or use of a virtual keyboard in Talkback, which replaces the physical keyboard.

Google announced in a statement the support for braille displays directly on Android, which will allow its use directly from the Talkback tool, without having to download anything else. It will be available in the next beta of Android 13, which will arrive in a few weeks.
