1. Enroll your device in the Android Beta for Pixel program

The easiest way to get Android 13 on a supported Google Pixel device is to enroll your device in the Android Beta for Pixel program.

Enrolling is a simple and fast process, and it's highly recommended for early adopters and developers.

In most cases, you don't need to do a full reset of your data to move to the Android 13 Beta, but it’s recommended that you back up data before enrolling your device.

Once enrolled, your device will receive regular over-the-air (OTA) updates for the duration of the platform’s release cycle—including Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs)—unless you opt out earlier.

During the Android Beta for Pixel program’s release cycle, there are four stable releases to the public (the official platform release followed by three Quarterly Platform Releases).

When you apply a stable release update, you can opt out of future Beta updates without a data wipe for a limited time (until you apply the next beta update, if you choose to do so).


2. Flash or manually install a system image

Alternatively, you can flash or manually install the latest Android 13 Beta build on your Pixel device.

The recommended way to flash Android 13 to a Pixel device is to use the Android Flash Tool from HERE.

If you'd rather flash your device manually, you can get an Android 13 system image for your device on the Pixel downloads page from HERE.

See the general instructions on the downloads page for how to flash a system image to your device.

This approach can be useful when you need more control over testing, such as for automated testing or regression testing.

Android 13 Beta images are available for the following Google Pixel devices:

  • Pixel 4 + Pixel 4 XL
  • Pixel 4a + Pixel 4a (5G)
  • Pixel 5 + Pixel 5a
  • Pixel 6 + Pixel 6 Pro

Note:

Once you've flashed a Developer Preview or Beta build to a supported Pixel device, you're automatically enrolled in over-the-air updates of all subsequent Developer Preview and Beta builds through the final release.

Important Notes:

  • You’ll need an eligible Pixel smartphone with an unlocked boot-loader to flash the system image using your computer.
  • There are also OTA files, which update your Pixel to the Developer Preview/Beta without an unlocked boot-loader.
    However, you still need to manually sideload the OTA package for the initial build.
  • Keep in mind that OEM Developer Preview builds are not fully compatible with the Google beta program.
  • The per-release builds of Android 13 are, of course, rough around the edges, so Google doesn’t want to make it too easy to install it on your daily driver.
  • You may not get periodic OTA updates on the preview channel like the Pixel, and a stable transition to beta (or vice versa) may require a clean flash. 
  • Usually, per-release configurations are completely bare-bones.
