How To Download And Install Android 13 On Pixel and Other Smartphones


Android 13

Android 13 is already being pushed out to the Pixel series of smartphones. The first phones to get the new version of Google’s operating system are the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 5a, Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 4a. However, if you still haven’t gotten a notification to download the new update, we’ll provide all the possible links to download Tiramisu.

More importantly, apart from being available for the Google Pixel devices, Android 13 is also available for various non-Pixel devices coming our way from different smartphone makers. Of course, it’s available via Developer Preview programs.

This also means that you won’t get the full Android 13 experience. It’s a Preview Build. Simply put, there are still many things to be corrected, fixed, and improved before the final version becomes available for download.

We can even say that this version of Android 13 is mainly for developers. As you guess, they have to test their apps against new Android platform APIs months before it becomes available to larger masses.

We also do not recommend you install the Developer Preview/Beta on your daily device. As there could appear various system bugs, it’s better to test it on a secondary product. Of course, even on such devices, you should back up your data before proceeding.

In this article, we will collect all possible download links of Android 13 builds released by Google.
