Android 13 Go edition new features
Google has introduced some first-ever additions with the new Go edition software. The new release brings Material You to Android Go for the first time. This means that the entry-level Android phone owners will be able to customize their phone’s colour scheme to coordinate with the wallpaper. “When you set your wallpaper image, you’ll see four corresponding color schemes to choose from", the blog post states.
Additionally, users will be able to add dynamic colouring to their phone’s home screen. Android (Go edition) has built-in intelligence that helps you get more from your phone.

Google has added a significant method to keep Android Go running devices up-to-date. It has added the Google Play System Updates to the latest mini software which helps ensure devices can regularly receive important software updates, outside of the major Android release. This will make the delivery of critical updates quick and simple without compromising storage availability on the device.
