Pixel 8 series could use the Samsung GN2 sensor for staggered HDR
Source
Developer @Za_Raczke has discovered information of Pixel 8 codenames: "Shiba" and "Husky". Besides that, he has found code referencing to staggered HDR support.
Staggered HDR allows capturing different exposures at the same time, using the same pixels. This allows the same effect as regular HDR without the increased capture time & chance of the photos being blurry because of the frames misaligning by the movement.
The previous Pixel 7's use the last gen GN1 sensor which doesn't support staggered HDR, which hints the GN2 sensor or other being on the Pixel 8 series that is capable of it.
The 50MP ISOCELL GN2 is a 1/1.12-inch sensor, which is bigger than GN1’s 1/1.31-inch sensor. ISOCELL GN2’s Staggered HDR is a better and more efficient way to capture images with a wide dynamic range. Samsung claims that the new sensor is 24% more power efficient due to its newer method of capturing images. It also features an improved autofocus mechanism called Dual Pixel Pro.

Pixel 6a wins MKBHD's 2022 blind camera test!
YouTube
Surprisingly, the Google Pixel 6a won this year's MKBHD's Blind Smartphone Camera Test 2022!
It received the most points on average in the community voting beating the Pixel 7 Pro (at second place), Zenfone 9, Find X5 Pro, S22 Ultra, iPhone 14 Pro and the Mate 50 Pro.
While the phone wasn't the best in the three categories: regular, night mode and portrait, it performed well, ranking in the top three for each category, with it being 3rd in regular, 2nd in night mode and portrait.
For comparison, the Pixel 7 came in 2nd, 4th and 1st, and the iPhone 14 Pro came in 6th, 10th and 5th in the respective categories.
Last year, the Pixel 5a was the winner of the test featuring the same camera sensor.
The good old 12MP Sony IMX 363 sensor (used since the Pixel 2 in 2017) shockingly beat the 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor used in the Pixel 7 Pro.

How could the Pixel Tablet UI look like
9To5Google
The 9To5Google team have modified a Pixel phone in order to emulate the user experience of a Pixel Tablet. Please note that these changes are still a work in progress and may differ from the final product.
On the modified lock screen, the clock has been moved to the left, while notifications appear on the right. The At a Glance widget is located at the top left, and a shortcut to Google Home at the bottom right. There is also a new user switcher button on the top right corner.
The home screen has a 6x5 grid with At a Glance being at the top left, with it now taking half a screen instead of the whole row. There is a search bar and six app shortcuts on the dock, and the app drawer can be accessed by sliding up. You can hold down on an app to launch it and split it to the left or right side of the screen.
The Google Discover page has been modified to include movie and TV recommendations from Google TV and other apps. It also includes a personalized greeting, such as "Good afternoon, Kyle."
In the modified notification shade, there's a 3x3 grid on the left and notifications on the right.
Many Google apps, such as Assistant, Messages, Contacts, Keep Notes, and Google Docs, have also been altered for the Pixel Tablet.
Overall, these changes seem to be aimed at optimizing the user experience for the tablet form factor and improving the functionality of various Google apps.

Google Assistant wins MKBHD's 2023 Voice Assistant Battle!
MKBHD
With Marques last testing the most popular voice assistants in 2017, he has decided to test them all again five years later.
Google Assistant won the first place, with Siri and Bixby being next and Alexa being far from the competition.
Google Assistant and Siri were both fast to answer questions. However, Siri and Bixby struggled with lagging or hanging during the test.
They all were good with answering questions or facts, but Google Assistant and Bixby did the best job with controlling the device with the ability to easily take selfies, play movies on Netflix, and start recordings.
Google Assistant also stood out for its ability to maintain a conversation, with Siri coming in a close second.

LineageOS 20 is here!
LineageOS
Our prediction was right, LineageOS will be starting to distribute official builds of Android 13 from now on, alongside with LineageOS 18.1 (monthly release) & 19.1.
As of now, the Pixel 4 & 5 series (including mid-range A-series) are the only Pixels to receive official builds from LineageOS. Originally Pixel devices as old as Pixel 2 series all the way till Pixel 7 series were supposed to have the same treatment, but due to build signature issues and incomplete device tree development, they are being delayed for now. As of the Pixel 1, it will stick with Android 11 for the meantime.
Anyway, besides Pixel devices the other 45 (total: 51) devices from different manufacturers will also receive the update too. Of course, even if your device isn't in the list, you can always check your community if there's a build for your device if interested.

Google's Find My Device could track your devices without a network connection in the future
Source
As of now, Google's Find My Device only tracks your devices with an internet connection, but that could change after the December 2022 Play Store update as it mentions:
"Find My Device now supports encrypted last-known-location reports for Android devices, using a new privacy-centric framework."
This could mean that Google is working to allow Find My Device to track Android devices that have been lost or stolen even without an internet connection.
With an updated Find My Device network, the location services from other Android devices could help find other Android users' missing handsets, like with Apple's Find My network.
As the information would be encrypted, only the owner of the "discovered" device would know where it is located. This network could also be used to find missing Wear OS watches.
With over 3 billion Android devices being used worldwide, Google's Find My Device network could cover the whole planet.

A Google Home exploit lets attackers listen to your microphone and execute commands
Source
Matt Kunze, a security researcher found a way for attackers to spy on Google Home speakers using Routines.
Routines are a way to execute multiple commands at once, like "Hello Google, good morning" could turn on the lights and read you the weather.
Using a rooted phone with Magisk and man-in-the-middle tools he found a way to link his own Google account to a nearby speaker by sending deauthorization packets.
With the access to the speaker, he used Routines to run commands such as "call [phone number]" to send the microphone feed to a phone number. He can also make arbitrary HTTP requests within the victim’s LAN (which could potentially expose the Wi-Fi password or provide the attacker direct access to the victim’s other devices).
After reporting this on the 8th of January 2021, Google fixed this issue in April and rewarded him with $107500 in May of 2022.
