Android 13 has been released and there is a bunch of new offering coming from this new Android version. However, there’s one hidden feature – Easter Egg that Android tends to update each year and Android 13 is no exception.
Since Android 13 is a version upgrade, we’ll be going to explore some of its latest ester eggs and find out some amazing facts.
Let’s dive into this.
Note: For this demonstration, we’ll be taking a look at stock Android 13 but the feature could be found in the About and Software details sections of different Android phone makers.
First, find out the easter egg by moving towards Settings, from here tap on the About option. Scroll down and find “Android version”, and click to open a new menu.
Tap “Rapidly” on the Android version until you see a new screen with an analog clock. The clock design is quite similar to Android 13.
So, now we’ve to match the clock and make it 13 o’clock/1 PM. Just move the big clock hand clockwise or anti-clockwise to adjust hours.
Set the exact above-mentioned time and that’s how you will be able to access the hidden easter eggs.
Tip: You can change the easter egg by tapping and holding the easter egg.
What’s in it:
There are twelve of these easter egg that we’ve found in Android 13 and you can check them below. For this exploration, we’ll check 3 at a time and move to the next in order.
Note: We’ve not included the initial round shape easter, as it could also be seen in Android 12. And solely focus on new easter eggs.
The first one has lots of clocks, the second consists of sea life creatures, and the third one has fruits of a different kind.
Next set includes space and stars, followed by cat emojis and monkey faces.
The next set has lunar phases, heart emojis, and zodiac signs.
The last set includes flowers and facial expression emojis, and the third one is a combination of stars, gold, a crown, and a turtle (possibly meaning virtue).
The last one has a melting emoji easter egg.
There’s another interesting fact regarding these easter eggs, which shows the elements of each of them appear randomly, each time you move on to the next one.

Despite being an Android babyface, Samsung failed to understand dynamic theme in 2022

2022 is the year of Android 13 and Android phone makers spotted sending this software update with improved dynamic theme options, but as a babyface, it seems like Samsung still has not learned the core concepts of the dynamic theme.
Introduced with Android 12, the Material You powered dyanamic theme brings brand new settings to tweak the user interface. Instead of being just a feature, the dynamic theme became a part of Android’s soul. With Android 13, Google further polished the dynamic theme so it could be adapted to all Android devices.
Dynamic Theme (Simple version): Once you apply a new wallpaper, the phone generates a range of colors based on that wallpaper. The set of colors is called a color palette and it is then applied throughout the user interface.
Following the decline of Huawei, Samsung is enjoying unlimited Android prowess. It’s projected as a major Android promoter and a babyface. And why not? After all, the South Korean phone maker keeps on posting new mobile shipment records.
However, the handling of the dynamic theme in One UI 5 (which is based on Android 13) shows that Samsung wasn’t serious about being an Android babyface in 2022.
You may want to know, how I reached this conclusion and why Samsung is a failure when it comes to precise work. Let’s find out together.
Appearance:
The user interface is all about appearance, and so does the dynamic theme. Using the dynamic theme on Samsung One UI 5 is different from stock Android 13.
Note: I’ve used the same pixel wallpaper on both Samsung and Pixel devices. So, we can keep the comparison on the same level.
Home Screen:
Below is the home screen, which looks as usual on both One UI 5 and stock Android 13.
Quick Settings:
Both of the quick settings are using Material You in elements, such as quick access icons and sliders. However, the background on stock Android 13 is solid and remains black. On the other hand, Samsung uses a translucent background in the quick settings, which has not changed even with the Android 13. It is Samsung’s way of implementing features. While in some scenarios, this way obstructs the viewing experience.
For example, the translucent background is now reflecting the colors of the app opened in the background. It also compromises the look and feel of the quick settings icons and the whole quick settings UI. But it becomes subtle when used on top of the Settings menu.
Below you can check the example of the quick settings opened over the following screens.
(Left – on top of home screen wallpaper, on top of Play Store, on top of Settings menu).
Settings:
The setting is an important part of UI, which we access at least once a day. The layout, font, and elements are different in these two softwares. But Samsung used a slight proportion of the color palette in the Settings’ background and remain neutral for applying to the rest of the user interface.
Themed Icons:
I love themed icons because it brings a new look to the app icons. However, Samsung’s way of doing things is a little more disappointing than what it actually looks.
Below you can check Samsung One UI icons painted with color pallets alongside stock android icons. The use and management of contrast in the background and tint on the shape (size too) are super lazy on One UI app icons.
On the flip side, stock Android gets these things done in the best way possible.
There’s further inspection on this available, apply Dark Mode and see the change.
Verdict:
We don’t need to explain the results. But It is certainly not nice to implement the dynamic theme for the Android babyface Samsung in 2022.
What could’ve happened?
If possible, Samsung should’ve to blend more into the material rather than bleed into the material. Improve icons, and check visibility levels of the UI elements and the current issues may resolve to an extent.
