Google has released the next-gen Android 13 for TV after introducing its beta version back in May. The new version of OS for smart TVs brings in some performance and accessibility improvements and most of these changes work in the background. Have a look at the details below.
Android TV 13 gets the ability for users to change the default refresh rate and resolution on compatible HDMI source devices for an improved visual experience.
It also introduces new APIs for developers to bring an enhanced TV experience for users. There’s the new AudioManager API, which will let supported apps track the audio attribute of the connected audio device and set the optimal format before starting playback.
