Google's official blog posts on new Android releases usually leave out a ton of info. If you're curious about what many of the other features introduced in Android 13 are, I wrote a summary over on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/wp0skh/50_features...

This summary is just for user-facing features and doesn't mention any of the new APIs, app-facing behavioral changes, or most of the platform changes. My ongoing Android 13 changelog (currently at >32k words, ~170 min estimated read time lol) covers all of that and then some: https://blog.esper.io/android-13-deep-dive/



Is Android 13 the version that will bring game controller rumble support? Or did that happen in Android 12?


You just reminded me of this article I wrote about that last year: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-better-game-contro...

Unfortunately, it looks like the patches were never merged: https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:InputDeviceR...

In fact they were abandoned in August 2021. I haven't heard anything since.


Aw man, that sucks. Not having rumble is a disadvantage for GeForce NOW and Xbox Game Pass on Nvidia Shield TV. I thought that built-in Android support would lead to support in Shield TV's firmware.
