Realme is one of them.

After releasing two Developer Preview build which remained restricted to Pixel phones, Google announced the Android 13 Beta 1 in April, followed by Android 13 Beta 2 in early May 2022.

And it’s none other than the company’s most premium phone, Realme GT 2 Pro, getting a very early taste of Android 13. It was released as a part of the Developer Preview program by Realme.
