I never had to open google lens to scan QR codes previously. I would just launch the camera via double tap power and then hold thumb on qr code as if to fix focus, and a link would pop up underneath.

[@tragiclantern]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Similarly, swiping down on the 'home' button would launch one-handed mode.

[@gigel99324]

Damn you can do that????

[@tragiclantern]

@@gigel99324 Mmm hmm. Then, you can select the text and copy TO A DIFFERENT COMPUTER!!! Saves me hours.

[@Alkanoid1996]

I miss those times when a new Android version actually got new features and huge improvements. Now you only get a couple of new UI accent colors :/

[@batman_2004]

It's because android is matured enough. Now all you can do this just make some ui changes.

[@heethjain21]

@@batman_2004 yes, partly true, but there are still a lot more features which can be added. ROMs like CrDroid, HavocOS have so many customisation features which Google can adopt in pure android

[@artyom5191]

@@heethjain21 well everybody using android devices dont need customisations like us so i dont think they see putting a lot of effort on customisations .

Have you tried multi device audio broadcast in Android 13. It should be enabled because of Bluetooth le 3 codec. Basically allows one to share audio to two wireless devices and is the dual audio jack hub for Bluetooth.

[@niranjanmcky8940]

Nothing wallpapers are there in the drive link 😄

[@shreyasgore]

I really struggled to install Android 13 using the side load method since it was not showing on the OTA. Finally found a way to get the OTA update with the Beta opt-in hack. Enjoying Android 13 now on my Pixel

[@ccroy2001]

I like the adjustable haptics and the battery menu. I had an app running in the background going to restrict it. Thanks for the video!

[@Tsai_tama]

Just got android 13 in samsung A52s but the media plauer thing does not happen in my device. Is it a pixel exclusive thing or do i have to enable something to achieve that squigly thing?

[@markbogdan2]

Would have wanted the return or at least possibility of the old back gesture from the left or right of the bottom edge. In most of the games I accidentally hit the back gesture and it's annoying a.f. Or at least if they insist on having it left and right, let me decide witch zone from left and right triggers this gesture.

[@shacrushataylor5215]

My top 3 features are: 1.The new material you color additions. 2. The Media player. 3. The back tap to turn on flashlight. Thank you for sharing.

[@ScarletBry]

I used to have Motorolas for years and it always had a "chop" gesture for flashlight. I was pleased to see a similar tap feature for my new pixel but just now realized it's new for everyone else too. I might not have been able to deal without it that's how useful it is

[@jimichan7649]

I wish you'd be a little more specific about how we access these features. For example: Where is the photo picker? I also didn't get those new quick settings tiles, unless I have to add them from somewhere 🤷‍♂

[@vineethb3844]

Android 13 wallpapers are not there in the link

[@atassano2001]

Great!! I am fan of Google. I'm using a Pixel 5 with Android 13. Where can I download the backgrounds of 13 you showed at the end of the video? Thanks in advance!!

[@skolvuk]

QR codes before weren't that hard to get to. You make it sound like you had to go through several steps before to get the QR scanner, but in reality, most camera apps have native QR functionality, and the camera app is usually mapped to a double press of the power button. press power twice, scan QR code, done. not complicated at all. The quick settings QR scanner was unneeded.

[@XYZ-ef3mo]

Even on old Samsung S9 QR scanner just works in camera app without having to use a 'setting'. Have S22+ now. Should get rid of QR code button from Quick Settings menu

[@GabeJohnson91]

Those are some damn good wallpapers. Probably the best ones so far.

[@Casiian_]

Idk about everyone else but I want lock screen widgets back or some form of customization. IOS finally got that feature and Android removed it years ago. I've noticed that while very slowly IOS has been allowing more customization while Android has been removing it. I'm talking about straight up Android not skinned versions. We used to have lock screen widgets (Jelly bean). In Android 11 we used to be able to change our quick toggle menu's icons, font, and color.

[@EvanRys]

Agreed. I've been using Android since gingerbread and love the OS. But iOS has been making great improvements to customization and the "look and feel". I may actually jump to the iPhone 14 this fall from my pixel 4xl if it has an AOD

[@Casiian_]

​@@EvanRys I actually tried using iPhone back when the 11 came out for like 2 months and I didn't like it. Yes, it's polished and nice but they do so many things strangely that it was a nope for me. For example, the Bluetooth quick toggle doesn't turn off the Bluetooth. I kept finding myself constantly turning it off because it toggled on by itself. When you use the quick toggle it only greys it out. I had to go into the settings menu and turn it off from there if I didn't want it to turn back on. Not being able to clear app cache is another one. Sometimes if an app begins to crash just clearing it fixes the issue or sometimes you just want to clear it because it uses phone storage. You can't do that on iPhone. Not being able to have a clean home screen with one - two folders is another. Having to use a lightning cable when everything else uses USB-C. (Soon to change in Europe) Or simply not being able to change your phone booth, call dialer, calculator, messages app etc. etc.

[@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees]

I want the quick access buttons back and not these god awful tiles. I have bad eyesight so I have to use larger fonts which causes the tiles to be animated with scrolling text making them harder to read and it's just ugly and non intuitive. I hate this BS Material You crap.

[@GFourGadget]

Android just keeps getting better 🙌🏾

[@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees]

Funny...I thought the exact opposite. Just an opinion. Not telling you that you should agree :)

[@GFourGadget]

@@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees it's okay, everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

[@jenniferstewart1330]

It's more about refinement now. Phones can pretty much do all we need them to do.

[@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees]

@@jenniferstewart1330 I can't agree more but their idea of refinement is butt f'king the interface and making it less and less customizable. I wouldn't care about their terrible design choices if they gave you an option to use things the way you wanted. Imagine being able to actually choose a skin with the features you wanted and future updates only modified the back end code where security and such are important. The interface should be 100% customizable. We have the technology to be able to do it but they tell us how we will use the devices and what ugly @ss features we will use. Makes me want to go back to a flip phone.

[@jamesg8246]

Where is the ability to choose which volume the volume buttons adjust by default? If I'm not playing media I don't want them to adjust media... they should be situational. If you're doing nothing with the phone they should default to ringer volume. If you're listening to media they should control media.. Samsung got this right. Not sure why Google locks the user out of choice.

[@Custmzir]

I find it weird that Android 13 still has the old style sliders even after bringing the more filled in sliders for volume and brightness adjustment. These small things just make Android feel inconsistent

[@ciprianadrian2123]

Hello ! Is it possible that we can completely disable the quick settings on the lock screen ? so that if someone steals your phone they can't turn off mobile data and then we can track the phone using the find my device app. Combine that with setting google assistant on the power button so that they can't even turn it off without going in the quick settings..

[@Ducktility]

There is a misinformation in the video regarding the photo picker. The photo picker indeed allows the app the entire access of the gallery. Now in Android 14, the feature of allowing an app to access only a partial set of gallery files has been introduced, at last.

[@SerenoOunce]

Any of these "new" features could have been implemented with a basic patch. Only reason to change the number is push sales.

[@tfa8]

[@harrisonshen1043]

I hate that you have to turn the phone on to use the double back tap. It defeats the whole purpose of the double tap bringing more convenience. Why can't they do what old OnePlus did and make an option to draw a "V" (or any other simple shape) on the actual screen to enable the torch? I'll always miss my old OnePlus 5T for that feature...
