Android 12L adds Unicode 14 support, added 37 new emoji
Android 12L meant to be a update to optimise tablets and foldables, but of course it still come with some minor updates, one of it is the Unicode 14 support.
Unicode 14.0 supposed to arrive in early 2021 but delayed as COVID-19 pushed back everything by six months. Anyway, the update is here and it is introducing 37 new emoji. The images attached show you how the new emoji will look like.
You can get access to the new emoji by using this Magisk module if you have a rooted Android device, then later check this site to see if you can view those emoji. Otherwise, you just gotta wait for Google to do that for you. (9To5Google)

Google Tensor second generation in the works, likely preparing for the next Pixel flagship
9To5Google
Google Tensor is Google's home-made chip which is installed on the Pixel 6, and presumably will be install in the upcoming Pixels. Created with the help of Samsung, the chip is optimised for Google's AI machine learning, which enables feature Google couldn't done before.
People at 9To5Google found new evidences in app that are included in the Pixel 6, there references to a new Pixel-related codename, , “Cloudripper.” The name will be for a baseboard or developer board that shares hardware in common with the two phones.
Earlier 9To5Google also found that "Cloudripper" is connected to a second-generation version of Google Tensor chips, with the model number “GS201.” For comparison, "GS101" is found in the Pixel 6, which suggests each year of the chipset upgrade will increase the model number by 100. Mishaal Rahman also spotted the changes too.
With that said, the new chip is likely to debut in the next Pixel flagship.

Pixel 6 keyboard is smarter than you think
The voice typing on the Pixel 6 support inserting punctuation is a big deal, and things doesn't just stop here. The keyboard on Pixel 6 support grammar correction too. Google did actually implement this on Google Docs first, and now it arriving to Gboard on the Pixel 6.
Google said that the feature "works entirely on-device to preserve privacy," which hints it is using the Private Compute Core. The grammar correction feature will also support all apps except those in WebView. It only support English language for now, with more languages support coming in the future.
Google mention it is only available on the Pixel 6, but well, I could see this feature expanding to other devices too, anyway time will tell. There much more technical details on how Google achieve it, if you are interested, check it out over here. (Google AI Blog)
