Google has released the next generation Android 13 for TV after introducing its beta version back in May. The new version of OS for smart TVs brings some performance and accessibility improvements and most of these changes work in the background. Take a look at the details below.

Android TV 13 enables users to change the default refresh rate and resolution on compatible HDMI source devices for an enhanced visual experience.

It also introduces new APIs for developers to provide users with an enhanced TV experience. There is the new AudioManager API, which allows supported apps to track the audio attribute of the connected audio device and set the optimal format before playback begins.

The InputDevice API enables different keyboard layouts. Additionally, there are some new accessibility features like updated user controls for Assistant microphone access and new audio description settings in apps. HDMI source devices have been improved to save power when the HDMI state changes. Additionally, there are new languages for HDMI source devices.
