Pixel 4 gets an update from Google ahead of time

Android 13 is being developed at a good pace, Google periodically releases new test versions, as expected. This system is expected in late summer to update Google smartphones first.

Still without a planned and expected release date, now a contingency arose. Unexpectedly, a Pixel 4 user received an update to Android 13, even though it is a beta version.

Google has an open testing program that anyone who wants to try Android 13 can use. It's not limited to just pixels, but has opened it up to several models from other brands so that they can evaluate this version.

What the user of this Pixel 4 did not expect is that their smartphone will receive Android 13 version TP1A.220603.002.A1. Apparently, this is reserved for Google internal testing and should not have been available outside the company.

Even stranger and even more ridiculous is that this user did not register their Pixel 4 in any of the Android 13 tests. Thus, they were far from accessing this or any other version of the new Google system that was not even released. more. .

In the description he provided on various internet channels, the owner of this Pixel 4 said that he had problems with the smartphone from that moment on. The worst of them was even a clear incompatibility with the Play Store. Reinstalling the app and even resetting the Pixel 4 didn't fix the problem.

Even though this seems to be the only known case with Android 13, this is a seemingly normal situation. In previous years and in different versions, there were reports of situations where users of Pixel smartphones inadvertently received updates.

With Android 13 almost ready, Google is accelerating its pace of development. The final version should appear soon, thus paving the way for the expected update, both for the Pixel and for all other smartphones in the Google system.
