Google Pixel Android 13 Software Update
The easiest way to get Android 13 QPR1 on a 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 developers and early adopters. In most cases, you don’t need to do a full reset of your data to install an Android 13 QPR beta build, but it’s recommended that you back up data before enrolling your device. After you have enrolled, your device is offered continuous over-the-air (OTA) updates to the latest beta builds (including QPRs) until you choose to unroll that device from the program.
