00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:09.840
wow i'm not a kid anymore yup you're 13.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.920
honestly you haven't matured much this year but turns out the numbers go up

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:17.840
anyway that's right

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.000
with the launch of version 13 Android has left its awkward tweens behind

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.279
beginning its long journey into its stylish teams

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:30.720
some of the highlights include greater customization take that apple better

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.079
privacy and better bluetooth than ever but

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:39.520
will they stay on the right path or will they fall in with that crowd

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:44.640
like i've fallen in with our sponsor Corsair their k70 pro mini wireless

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:48.879
keyboard is an easily customizable and compact option for any gaming setup it's

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.879
got 200 hours of battery life and is compatible with all mx key switches so

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.960
play and connect your way and get yours at the link down below visually google

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.600
is bringing even more customization options to their material you design

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.280
language allowing you to make it more you er

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.720
on 12 using the auto themer you could customize your phone with four generated

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:15.600
color palettes pulled from your phone's wallpaper or just four basic colors

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.040
which is pretty okay but now you get 12

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.280
palettes that can use complementary colors that aren't necessarily found in

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.520
your wallpaper will google graciously allow you to choose the colors yourself

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.600
though maybe in 14 not today but color changes can be

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.960
applied to other apps now while there aren't too many applications out there

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:35.920
that support material use auto theming yet the concept is pretty cool when it

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:43.200
works also third-party apps can now take advantage of themed icons though we only

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.280
came across a single app that did so relay for reddit so if you're looking

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.119
for that perfectly themed home screen you'll still have to do it yourself with

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:56.479
a custom icon pack but don't worry about that look at this new media player it's

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.640
got a squiggly line now in all seriousness though it is nice to

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:04.159
be able to scrub audio without pulling the notification shade all the way down

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.080
and the dynamic theming to match your album art looks pretty cool without

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.720
giving up any functionality it's like the ltte backpack it looks great has

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.200
tons of amazing pockets and is built to last lttestore.com

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.800
oh yeah and tucked in that notification shade you'll find a convenient button

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:25.440
for quick draw qr code scanning that's right finally after two painful years of

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.040
pandemicking you no longer have to remember if you scan qr codes in your

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.720
camera app or the google app or that third party one that you got when you're

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.400
trying to read the freaking drink menu another welcome convenience is the

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.959
option to control your home devices from a locked state

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.480
i personally wouldn't recommend doing that though i mean you don't want some

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.280
nefarious actor getting control of your smart home after they steal your phone

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.040
but then again if mark zuckerberg basically already lives in your house

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.280
what difference does it make brisket ribs i hope a lot

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:03.120
i seriously wouldn't really do this unless you only have smart lights and a

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:07.360
smart popcorn maker no doors no security cameras the next thing is way up my

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.440
alley though you know those pesky notifications from

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:14.640
that random idol game you downloaded or even twitter for that matter they have

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:19.280
notifications for everything in that app well forget about them because app

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:23.680
notifications are now opt in in Android 13 thank you

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.120
google as someone with an endless stream of notifications this really helps me

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.799
make sure that i never miss a Floatplane upload sometimes we upload pet

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:35.280
pictures other times hilarious behind the scenes or other exclusives check it

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.040
out on Floatplane.com another thing i'm thankful for is the return of google

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:42.959
assistant to the home button for us stalwart three button navigation fans

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:46.959
you can still hold the lock button if you want but now you have the option to

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.040
do it the way nature intended you know what you can't do though get rid of the

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:56.720
bloody at a glance widget i should be able to move or remove

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:01.200
anything i want from my home screen forget about material u i want material

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.920
me damn one of my other favorite editions is the new clipboard widget

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.040
alert thing when you copy a piece of text a small preview pops up in the

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.959
bottom of your screen which gives you quick access to a share button and if

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:17.040
you click the text preview you can actually edit the text you copied before

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:21.519
you share it as someone who's always sending important information to people

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.440
this is an absolute life saver like when you copy text from google lens and it

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.759
slightly misinterprets it you can fix it right then and there and forward it off

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:34.639
and google now automatically empties your clipboard after an hour keeping any

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.479
copy pasted passwords safe and sound

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.199
and there's even more good stuff thanks to google's feigned interest in user

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:45.040
privacy thank you apple by the way no like for real this is not a sarcastic thank you

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:48.560
apple because your feigned interest in user privacy has really put pressure on

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.040
google to match you in Android 13 when an app wants you to

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:57.360
upload media say for a profile picture you no longer have to give the app

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.199
access to all the media on your device just the specific photos that you want

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.280
to share with it and instead of providing an app access to all of your

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:10.240
local storage there are now specific pop-ups for videos music photos and

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:14.320
audio however it's not a user side decision so the app developer still gets

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.039
to choose which permissions they ask for meaning you need to read those

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:21.280
notifications to ensure that you're aware of what you're sharing

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.520
Android 13 also fixes some of Android 12's location weirdness before if you

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:30.000
wanted to locate nearby devices via bluetooth or wi-fi you would have to

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.880
allow the app location access but now the search is handled by a separate

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.320
runtime keeping your location information safe and only in the hands

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:40.560
of uber google facebook and all the other apps who already know you were removed

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.880
and now google allows you to set language settings per app so you

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.720
polyglots can have your gmail and german and your web browser in english without

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.880
having to dig into your phone settings spatial audio a technology that frankly

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.000
still smells a little gimmicky to me is now available in the os so you don't

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:59.680
need specific applications to take advantage of it and uh let's see oh

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:06.400
right one forward-looking addition is bluetooth led audio support it's kind of

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:11.759
like bluetooth low energy so like lower energy but now with 100 more audio and

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.120
bluetooth sig is betting on it being the future of bluetooth see look at this

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:21.759
graph wow the traditional sbc codec is only

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.680
three or four but the new lc3 codec

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.560
featured in bluetooth le audio it's almost five the whole time

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.400
we don't have the time to dive into this graph or whatever the heck it is they're

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:37.600
trying to convey here but the gist is that bluetooth led audio will allow for

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:40.080
greater audio quality at lower bit rates

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:43.360
using less power and allowing you to connect to multiple devices at the same

00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:47.600
time to clarify i know that it's already

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:51.199
possible to play back to two pairs of headphones at once if you and your so

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:56.240
want to watch a movie together on the plane but this new tech takes that a step

00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:00.080
further it's called auracast and it has no practical limit to the number of

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:04.240
bluetooth devices that you can cast to so frepples rejoice

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.240
and why stop there you and your whole polycule could have your own silent

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:08.240
disco

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:18.479
now it's more likely that we'll see this concept deployed for advertising or so

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.160
that you can bring your own headphones for the museum audio tour but hey it's

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.800
fun to imagine cooler possibilities right google is also making their whole

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.319
ecosystem a bit more cohesive they've actually started supporting tablet

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:34.720
specific updates for big screen devices with Android 12l and with Android 13

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:40.319
they've added a chrome os like shelf that allows for quick and easy multitasking along with proper palm

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:43.199
rejection for styluses which i cannot believe that they didn't have

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.039
yet you can now stream messages from any

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:49.919
messaging app to chrome os allowing you to reply to anyone who calls from the

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.440
comfort of your chromebook that you definitely own and google says that

00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:56.560
you'll be able to copy paste from your phone to your tablet in the future

00:07:55.520 --> 00:08:01.280
hopefully that's it isn't it uh if it all seems a

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.840
little underwhelming that's fair google has clearly taken this year to sand

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.160
Android 12's rough edges down but hey making their excellent os even

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.440
excellenter is not necessarily a bad thing and honestly it's the kind of

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:17.759
thing that we often hound companies to do hey don't just keep adding more

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:21.919
features fix your darn bugs right so here it is currently Android 13 is

00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:25.120
only available on pixel devices but it will be rolling out to other devices

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:29.680
later in the year will it roll out to your device unless it's a pixel who

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:34.560
knows um that's up to your device manufacturer and sometimes your carrier

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.599
sometimes blind luck yay

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:42.240
maybe next year we'll see a bigger update um or maybe we won't but what

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:46.480
we'll definitely get is a big segue to our sponsor freshbooks when building a

also characteristically apple in others
