Android 13 Developer Preview 2 Review

More than 20 features have been added to the Android system with Android 13 Developer Preview 2. In addition, this version is much better than the Android 12 and Android 12L versions released to Google Pixel devices in terms of stability. Android 13 Developer Preview 2 release is the last Developer Preview release before Beta 1 release in April. There will be more serious changes from now on. These changes will be stabilization and adding new features, not interface changes. Google makes a design change every 2 or 3 Android versions. Since Android 12 is still newer, these changes will not occur.
