Pixel devices will notify that your phone is overheating
Google is trying many solutions to preserve Pixel devices battery health as much as possible, from Adaptive Battery to stop charge at 80% during midnight. Now Google has added overheating warning and will limit the charging with Android 12.
Folks at 9To5Google founded strings that will pop a notification and it written: “Your phone is limiting charging to help preserve battery health.” Another one says that “Charging [is] temporarily limited.” There a "learn more" button which redirect you to a Pixel support page, explaining more about how to prevent overheating on your Pixel device.
Google could possibly slow the charging speed when your Pixel device is overheating. (9To5Google)

Nearby Share got a redesign page and lets you set device visibility to 'Everyone'
On Android 12 Beta 5, when you tap Nearby Share tiles in Quick Settings, you get a shorter panel for Device Visibility controls. You get Dynamic Color support in the panel too. In the Nearby Share settings page, you also get Material You redesign in it.
In the Device visibility settings page, you get three main options: Hidden, Contacts, Everyone. "Hidden" means you are not visible to anyone. "Contacts" meanwhile get a new toggle "Visible to all contacts", which you make it available to any of contacts to share with you, and below you get to enable/disable individual contact.
Lastly, “Everyone” means anyone can share with you when they are nearby. There are two options under this section: Use everyone mode temporarily & Keep everyone mode on all time.
Google is changing directions toward privacy and limitations in Nearby Share, thus avoiding iOS AirDrop issue. (9To5Google)

Android 12.1 possibly will be the next version of Android instead of 13
So the next version of Android is leak to be Android 12.1, a minor update over Android 12. Google hasn't release minor updates like this since Android 8.1 by the way. Android 12.1 is set to release alongside with the Pixel 6.
A dev reported to XDA that he founded some evidence in the AOSP Gerrit, it suggests that API level 32 corresponds to Android 12"sc-v2", not Android 13. Read more here. (XDA Developers)

Private Compute Core might come with more changes rather than just a simple rename
Left: Android 12, Right: Android 11
So in Android 12 Beta 5, Device Personalisation Services is renamed to Private Compute Core, Though you don't see any changes to it besides the rename for now, it might get more stuff in the near future.
Currently you can access the new setting at Settings > Privacy > Private Compute Core. You get the Material You redesign page and the same options as before.
So Android Police reached out to Google asking about it, and they are being told that Google will have more words to say about it tomorrow, hinting that there could be a drastic changes coming rather than just a simple rebranding. (Android Police)
