Earlier this week, Google launched Android 13 during its I/O developer conference and released Android 13 Beta2 beta version for Pixels. Meanwhile, several other Android device makers have announced their own Android 13 beta or developer preview. HMD Global has now announced that you can now test it with the Nokia X20. It’s worth noting that HMD is calling this a developer preview, not a beta, so the new version may leave a lot to be desired.
If you want to try it too, you can now go through the “My Device” app on the Nokia X20, find the support interface at the bottom banner, and then find the Android 13 Developer Preview below. After passing the registered IMEI check for Android 13 DP, you can start the application. Nokia will release the new version over the air within 12 hours after a successful application and registration.
Of course, after the app is successful, you can also manually check for the update yourself, and you’ll get the update in about 20 minutes. Specifically, you can go to “Settings > About phone > System update” to check.
The Android 13 DP version comes with a pre-installed Customer Feedback app, through which you can report any issues you encounter. If you need to roll back to Android 12, you can also make a request through My Devices.

Android 13 also allows users to set the system language on a per-app basis. It is also helpful for multilingual users who depend on different languages ​​in different situations.
