Google Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro US price leaked
Apparently someone found the retail price tag for both the Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro in a Target store.
The price tags put in the store show that the Pixel 6 will be pricing at $599, and the Pixel 6 Pro starts from $898. Interestingly, the advertisement from Australia that is just leaked a few hours ago showed it is priced at AUD$999 which is equivalent to USD$740. In European region, it is given the price of €649 and that around USD$750.
Also notes that it is even cheaper than the Pixel 5 by $100 and offer way better specs. Can't believe the price of the Pixel 6 will be this low, anyway time will tell whether it true or not. (Evan Lei)

YouTube testing new way to show video denoscription on the web
So YouTube desktop web is testing a new way to show denoscription. There will be a "Denoscription" button located at the toolbar beneath the noscript.
When pressing it, you will see a denoscription box showing at the right side of the video. With this addition, you can watch the video and also view the denoscription at the same time.
Also there some minor changes which have rolled out for quite a while. The search bar is now bigger in size, player UI is also slightly bigger. There also another one which is still not widely rollout, a redesign icon of verified check mark for channels (which you can see in the image attached), so far I could only see it in the upcoming video list and not in other places.

#ChromeOS
Chrome OS Phone Hub will be able to launch apps directly from notifications
Ecosystem nowadays are still incomplete and Google is apparently improving it for Chrome OS.
Your Chromebook might be able to launch app from your phone, via clicking a notification. Mishaal Rahman on Twitter posted that Chrome OS is gaining support for app sync across platforms. A new setting in Phone Hub shows that you can enable an option to temporarily use apps straight on your Chromebook.
This might be a Pixel exclusive as reported by Android Police. Currently the feature isn't working. By the way, Pixel Fall Launch event might show it in action, can't be sure though. (Android Police)

Google Play Protect Services available in Play Store listing
Play Store | APKMirror
Google Play Protect has been part of the Play Store for several years already, protecting your Android device for dangerous malware apps, even when you install apps outside from the Play Store. Apparently, Google is launching as a separate app for Android 12 devices.
Currently, 100k downloads has been reported and well, I see no reasons for this separate app to be a Pixel exclusive, so it might reach other devices that launch with Android 12 & GMS services included.
Didn't understand why there a need of such a separate app, but anyway, it is what it is.
