Kind of an underwhelming upgrade
- the battery optimizations look like a big deal to me, people are reporting improved battery life with the 14 beta
  
  How much improved in SOT terms?
You can install Windows 95 or Ubuntu on your phone using an emulator app. Yet Android cannot emulate an older Android.
- Interesting... well if you can get Ubuntu then there is Anbox but I guess that's probably not the same thing?
  
  And then also Linux must not be able to emulate it if you can't get it to run through Ubuntu?
Unless I get an "allow App to run in Background" permission I'm not happy.
Predictive back seems cool. That's about it
- Lock screen customizations too for me but yeah that's it
I really hope i don't have to format data once it's available for my phone
- I just installed the beta, it doesn't look like I lost any data and all my apps are still there.
  
  I'm actually talking about staying decrypted, my phone hasn't received an official update since android 12.

- Probably in the early fall to keep in cycle with the next generation of pixels.
