stufflistings

According to Mukul Sharma (stufflistings), a well known leaker there are undergoing tests of a Pixel smartphone in India, possibly the Pixel 6a!

Google India might try to get some sales from people trying to upgrade from the now two year old Pixel 4a as it's the last officially sold Google Pixel device there.

(thanks to @Master_Yuval for that info ♥️)

According to rumors, the Pixel 6a has started it's production in multiple Asian countries.

What interesting is in this leak though, is the usage of (NFC) next to the device name which could mean the lack of a 5G modem in the device (hopefully it's going to be better than the one in Pixel 6)

In a tweet below, Mukul has stated that Google will be distributing the phone in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and possibly India adding two new countries with official sales of Pixel devices.

#ChromeOS
ChromeOS 101 is rolling out on the stable channel with few changes.
9To5Google

Changelog:
- Brand new dark boot screen featuring a white Chrome logo followed by “chromeOS.” Besides the night-friendly background change, note the lack of a space.
- Brand new Firmware Updates menu (in Settings > About Chrome OS). It replaces how accessory updates on Chromebooks previously occurred automatically in the background. That approach led to some issues, and this new UI is meant to address upgrades that take longer periods of time
- Linux Subsystem uses Debian 11 (bullseye) over Debian 10 (buster). You can upgrade it in settings
- Network-based recovery for restoring ChromeOS without a USB Image of it made from a different device
- The floating launcher is now seen for some users, if you don't have it use chrome://flags/#productivity-launcher flag to enable it
