A new leak shows us some of the news that will come along with Android 13, the next system update.
From Android 13 , the next big update to the operating system, we have already been able to know some details. We know that its internal dessert name is “Tiramisu” , and that will include new features such as support for several languages simultaneously , support for Bluetooth LE Audio and as many new features that have appeared over the months.
And, although there are still a few months until Google begins with the public tests of Android 13, today we were able to learn new details on the update, which confirm some of the news that will reach smartphones later this year.
Android 13 will be next big system update.
New menu ú sound control
The first of the news, unveiled by Android Police , displays what appears to be a revamped sound control menu . This menu, known as “output picker”.
This menu allows control audio playback on the different devices associated with the smartphone , be it Bluetooth headphones or speakers, televisions with Google Chromecast or others compatible devices.
In Google Pixels, this menu received a facelift along with the arrival of Android 12. However, everything seems indicate that it will be in Android 13 when Google decides to renew it completely . You can see how it will change in the screenshots under these lines:
Currently, this function is under development and there are still malfunctions and inconsistencies in the design.
Scanning QR codes will be easier
The QR codes have had an uptick in utility in the last two years, and Google wants Android users to have it easier when it comes to scan these codes with your mobile .
For this, in Android 13 you could add a option to the lock screen that would allow to access a QR code scanner quickly , without the need to open the camera application or use Google Lens.
Also, access to this scanner would also be added to the quick settings panel you ask to be able to quickly access the function.
“Tap to transfer” will allow you to choose which device your music is played on
Finally, a new function has been discovered called “ Tap to transfer “which would allow you to change the device on which the multimedia content is played. The function is reminiscent of what we can find on iPhones with HomePod speakers.
Thanks to the filtered captures, you can see that the device will notify the user when it is necessary to move closer to the device in which the content is to be played . And, although for now it is unknown how this system will work, it is most likely that technologies such as NFC or Ultra Wide Band , combined with Google Cast protocols.
It is still too early to know if these functions will be, or not, present in the final version of Android 13 that should arrive at the end of summer of this year. All of them are in the development phase, and could undergo changes, or even be discarded from here to the moment the new version is released.
In any case, it is very likely that little by little we will learn new details about the next version of Android , whose program developer preview should start in the first half of this year, once Android 12L reach your edition stable.
