Android 13 has updated the design, which will match the colors of the interface with the desktop wallpaper. There's a media control that adjusts the look based on the music you're listening to and displays album art.

There's also the ability to change the language used for different apps, and more control over the files your apps can access. Another new feature is earthquake warnings.
