Finally, Android TV 13 is available on real hardware, but there is a catch

Share This Post

It should be noted that despite the fact that Android TV 12 was released in December 2021, Google did not actually push the update to any hardware until October 2022.

Android 13 is now accessible for Android TV, according to a covert announcement from Google, though its availability is currently quite constrained. The ADT-3 developer box, a recently ceased-to-be streaming device for Android TV development, is required in order to download the update, as noted by 9to5Google. Many of the best Android TV boxes are currently left in the cold as a result, and it might be some time before Android TV 13 is available on the Chromecast with Google TV or the Nvidia Shield TV.

Before reaching every smart TV and Android TV-based streaming device, the most recent update might also experience a significant delay. If you’re lucky, it might show up in this year’s second half.

The most recent OS update, as is customary, is all about hidden APIs that only matter to developers, even though they also mean new capabilities for end users. You can choose your preferred resolution and refresh rate on HDMI source devices, for instance, using one feature. Additionally, the update promises improved power management and a more energy-efficient standby mode. Additionally, different language layouts are now supported on external keyboards as a result of a new keyboard layouts API, and game developers will be able to refer to keys based on their physical locations.
