Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 adds Pixel 7 support, Clear Calling feature appears

• The Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 is now rolling out to Pixel phones.
• The Pixel 4a and 4a (5G), the Pixel 5 and 5a, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, 6a,  Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will find beta version T1B3.221003.003.
• With the beta welcoming in Pixel 7 series phones, an added feature for this testing phase is Clear Calling which uses AI intelligence to make calls clearer.

The third version of the build for the testing of Android 13 has been released.

The post states that the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are welcome to the testing. This latest build of the T1B is called version T1B2.

There are a few new features and changes in the third phase of the beta that were posted on the social networking site. The new build appears lighter than the previous one, which was released for testing, as it invites the public to try out the new animations.

Settings for Clear Calling appear on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. I tested it out briefly with another person, and it seems to work. Will grab a recording and post it on SoundCloud or something soon.(Thanks to @JsnCreation for the screenshot). pic.twitter.com/0a8MXpvmK2October 20, 2022

We're seeing settings for Clear calling in this one. This is a new feature that was revealed after the announcement of the new products. Clear calling uses artificial intelligence to reduce background noise and highlight the voice on the other end to make calls sound better. The function seems to work according to the initial tests.

Clear calling would work on the previous-gen Pixel 6 series, but not currently. The audio_cca_aoc library is necessary for the feature to work. Crystal clear audio is referred to as "CCA" and "AOC" is the sensor hub for the chip.

One change that has reverted is the expanded volume panel. This panel used to be centered on the screen of the device, but now it sits at the bottom of the screen.

On Pixel devices with "Battery Share" support, there's now a toggle to choose whether or not to have reverse wireless charging turn on automatically for a short period when you plug your phone into a charger. H/T @Google_nws pic.twitter.com/y4mx2AcnR9October 20, 2022

If you'd like to have reverse wireless charging turned on automatically for a short period after plugging in your phone, you'll be able to choose whether or not you'd like to do that in the new version of the phone's operating system.

Built-in VPNs is one of the new features brought in for this phase. During its recent fall event, the device was mentioned as part of the device's security efforts.

If you're not already a member of the program, you have around two months until you get these features for yourself.
