Smallest grid size of the widget goes to 3x2, and the largest can go all the way to the maximum, maximum tile of the widget is 8. These are all tested on the grid size of 5x5.
The image attached is how it going to look like on Android 11. Users on Android 10 and below won't get it unfortunately, did an APK teardown myself and it really seem to be available on Android 11 and later for now.

Google Pixel 6 to come with 4 OS upgrades and up to 5 years of security updates
Google Pixel 6 series is launching on October 19. Before that is happening, there are tons of leaks out there already, the biggest leak tend to be the official introduction of the device. From there, we know that Google is providing 5 years of security updates, but we aren't sure about the OS upgrade schedule yet. Now we seems to have the answer.
Snoopytech on Twitter tweeted that the Pixel 6 series will be getting 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patch updates. If there will be 4 OS upgrades, it potentially could reach Android 16 at this point. (XDA Developers)

Google Photos might soon get different shape of Material You widgets
It been a while since Google Photos roll out "Your memories" Material You widget. Apparently there a Japanese promotional material of the Pixel 6 which showcase another type of widget that shows your photo, and Google is preparing it in a upcoming update.
9To5Google spotted in the app that there will be 6 shapes in total to choose from: Circle, Flower, Pill, Fill, Square, Star. They are guessing that "Fill" and "Square" is the one we have for now, "Star" will be pointy and "Circle" is rounded shaped of course. "Pill" is something similar to Google Clock's Digital and Stacked widgets. Lastly "Flower" should be the bulbous x-shaped that we have seen from Keep and Drive widget.
You can "Select a frame style" after placing it on the home screen. I personally teardown the APK and it seems like it will be available to all Android version, currently it hidden under the app version 5.63. (9To5Google)

So if you do receive phone call frequently and you spend most of your time on your desktop, you had find it annoying to pick up your phone to do that. Chrome OS is soon getting a nifty feature that could solve your everyday life problems.

There no mention of its being a Pixel exclusive, so it will probably be compatible with other Android devices. (Android Police)
