Google Pixel Fold prototype
Source
Someone sold a prototype Pixel Fold on eBay, knew it was pre production and had to show both IMEIs and connect it to the internet. RIP, will probably get bricked soon if it hasn't been already 🥲
• engraving on rear back
• identification on both displays
• felix as model number
• older pre-Android 13 QPR3 taskbar

Pixel 8 series to support Desktop Mode
Kamila Wojciechowska
A source inside Google tipped Kamila Wojciechowska that the Pixel 8 series will support USB DisplayPort alternate mode which would allow you to connect displays using USB-C.
This feature could be used for a Desktop Mode, similar to Samsung's DeX or Motorola's Ready To feature.
While Android already has some support for the desktop mode, Mishaal Rahmann has discovered improvements to it in the launcher code found in recent Android 14 betas. He also spotted support for USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode.

BREAKING: Youtube to Block users using Ad Blockers
Source
Google is fighting against third-party apps or ad blockers on YouTube to encourage people to get YouTube Premium.
To fight against this, YouTube is testing a 3 Strike Policy where it will get disabled after watching 3 videos with an adblocker.
They say they take disabling video playback “very seriously,” and will only disable playback after users repeatedly ignore requests to disable adblocking on YouTube.
In case of false flags, you can share the feedback by reporting the issue.
If YouTube Premium is expensive in your country, try using a VPN to countries like Turkey, India or Argentina and subscribe to a family or student plan for less.
The family plan costs only .5$ per person per month if subscribed in India.

One of the stickers have "zuma" on it which is the Tensor G3 codename. The device itself has 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of SKHynix UFS storage.
The leaker claims to have gotten it from the device team at Google for testing.

the leaker has published the leak and left their personal data in the EXIF file in the photos and did used their personal account which can be easily traced to them.
IF YOU ARE IN POSSESSION OF A PROTOTYPE GOOGLE PIXEL DEVICE. PLEASE TAKE SOME MEASURES TO KEEP YOU SAFE.
- YOU CAN SEND IMAGES TO SOMEONE ELSE FOR IT TO BE POSTED ANONYMOUSLY (like me @dvrkplayer, i can assist you with everything)
- DO NOT SHOW ANY MARKINGS OF THE DEVICE AND MAKE SURE TO BLUR EVERYTHING OUT
- HIDE THE IMEI, SERIAL NUMBER, GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND OTHER THINGS THAT CAN TRACE THE DEVICE TO YOU
THIS WILL ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NOT GET IN ANY LEGAL TROUBLE AND THE DEVICE WILL NOT BE BRICKED.

Pixel Fold did not survive JerryRigEverything's durability test
YouTube
Zack from JerryRigEverything has gotten his hands onto a Pixel Fold to test its durability.
In his test, the cover display protected by Gorilla Glass Victus scratched at level six with deeper grooves at level seven which is normal.
On the other side, the main display started scratching at level 2 with fingernails being able to leave a mark on the display's screen protector similar to other foldables.
The Fold shut down after a few seconds of heat being applied to the main display, which was never seen before on other devices.
Sadly, the phone did not pass the bend test as it snapped in half while bending the other way with no stopper that prohibits you from doing this.
Google advertises the "most durable hinge in a foldable", which may be true as it did not snap in half with the antenna lines being the faulty part in the design, maybe next time it'll do better?
