You can try Android 13 beta on any of these smartphones, such as the Realme GT 2 Pro or the OnePlus 10 Pro, although beta builds are notoriously problematic.

The 'Material You' design language elements have also been updated in Android 13. Users may now match app icon colors with themes, and per-app language selection is also available, among other new personalization possibilities.
Android 13 also includes a number of improvements for tablets and foldable devices, allowing users to take advantage of the increased screen real estate available on these devices. This contains, among other things, a new notification and quick settings panel. Support for Bluetooth LE Audio, MIDI 2.0 over USB, and automated clipboard history deletion are among the other new features.
Android 13 will also include a new unified Security & Privacy settings page in future versions, which will provide users with a clear, color-coded signal of their device's safety status and how they may improve it.
