To make up for the delay at the start of this month, Google is promptly — factory/OTA images are already available — rolling out Android 13 on Pixel phones, complete with a detailed changelog.

Last year with the release of Android 12, Google completely overhauled the world’s biggest mobile OS. The huge addition of Material You coincided with the launch of reimagined Pixel series. Almost a year on, Android 13 is here for Pixel phones and, while not a drastic update, contains a ton of new user-facing features and functions that you need to know.

Besides visual and functional changes, Android 13 also brings the August security patch after a two-week delay that included a stopgap release. If you don’t want to wait, the official OTA and factory images are now available.

Compared to the massive redesign that arrived last year, Google is focused on refinement and just a few new features for Android 13, which is launching and rolling out today to supported Pixel phones.
