Spotlight Android13 Stable release for Qualifying PixelPhones
In this episode, we focus on the August 15 stable Android13 landing for qualifying Pixel phones.
We also talked about things you ought to know after getting the update.
You can choose to opt out of the Beta before September, that, meaning you will not be part of the “QPR”—Quarterly Platform Releases betas that Google pushes out for those in the program.
So, in order not to be part of that, then after you update to the stable release, then navigate to this page and opt out of the beta.

We also discussed the fact that if you have a Tensor-powered phone, e.g., Pixel6, Pixel6Pro and the just released Pixel6A, according to this Google Developer page, that you wouldn’t be able to unroll back to Android 12 if you wanted to do so.

The page does not tell us why, but according to this article from Android Police, the reason behind this is owed to an exploit in the Bootloader of the Tensor-powered phones running Android12; thus, resulting in the anti-rollback as doing so, would reintroduce that exploit.
