Google dropped the first beta of Android 13 yesterday, introducing quite a few notable features. As mentioned in our original coverage, the first beta provides more granular permissions to access media files, better error reporting in Keystore and KeyMint, and predictive audio routing. But it looks like Android 13 Beta 1 has more in store for users. A closer look at the beta version revealed that it also brings fun new animations for the media controls and a couple of other features. In this post, we’ll take a look at the new material design options that Google has added for its Pixel devices.
Android 13 Beta 1 brings many new color and customization options for the Wallpaper & Style app on Pixel devices. As you can see in the attached screenshots (via Mishaal Rahman), the Wallpaper & style app in Android 13 Beta 1 includes four pages of wallpaper colors and primary colors. This means that the app now offers up to 16 options for background colors and 16 options for primary colors.

In contrast, the Wallpaper & style app in Android 13 Developer Preview 2 only offered four background colors and primary colors each.

While the new options in the Wallpaper & style app in Android 13 Beta 1 aren’t as comprehensive as what you can currently get on Android 12 custom skins from some OEMs, it’s great to see Google taking steps in the right direction. With these new options, you should be able to customize your Pixel even more.
