It’s raining Android 13 Beta builds! Now that the keynote event of Google I/O 2022 is over, we are all very excited about the launch of the second beta for Android 13. As usual, Google’s Pixel line of smartphones will be the first to gain access to the new beta software. However, other OEMs have also announced their own Android 13 beta initiatives in the form of “Developer Preview” programs.
Keep in mind that OEM-specific Developer Preview releases don’t exactly align with Google’s beta program. You might not get periodic OTA updates on the preview channel like the Pixels, and the stable-to-beta transition (or vice-versa) might require a clean flash. Furthermore, the pre-release builds are usually quite barebones compared to the respective OEM skins. Still, if you see your phone on this list, it’s very likely you’ll be one of the first to get the stable Android 13 update when it finally launches.
Below you can find the list of non-Google devices that have joined the Android 13 party. For Google Pixel smartphones, take a look at our Android 13 Download index to grab the download links.
