Google plans to launch several Android 13 releases in the coming months before the official version hits its Pixel smartphones and other manufacturers\u2019 devices in the latter half of the year. For those Pixel enthusiasts with either a Pixel 4 (XL), Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a\u00a0 (U.S. only), Pixel 6, or Pixel 6 Pro, 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> has released a step-by-step guide on how to install the preview.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a developer, you\u2019ll only have to wait two more months for the public beta of Android 13.<\/p>\n

        Tiramisu<\/h2>\n

        It\u2019s also worth noting that Google has confirmed the dessert name for Android 13 \u2014 Tiramisu. While Google doesn\u2019t use dessert names anymore publically, the convention still exists for internal use.<\/p>\n

        Since Google re-branded Android three years ago, the company has avoided using dessert brands, though the unique names still live on. For example, Android 10 is Queen Cake, Android 11 is Red Velvet Cake and Android 12 is Snow Cone.<\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re a part of the Android 13 Developer Preview, head into Settings > About Phone and tap on the Android version to check this out yourself.<\/p>\n
