Two new leaked videos about the Pixel Fold and Tablet.
SnoopyTech posted two new videos about the upcoming big-screen devices hours before the event, and there's something interesting here:
Pixel Fold:
Apparently, Google hasn't had time to finish adapting for foldable devices for the multitasking, a footnote at the bottom of the video says that "Dual Screen support coming in Fall 2023", namely with the release of Android 14. Also, Google claims it's the "thinnest foldable device" (in markets where the Pixel Fold is sold)
Pixel Tablet:
It's nothing special: a charging dock with speaker, an 11-inch screen, HD video calling on Google Meet, and a reminder of Nearby Share.

Gmail for Android will soon add a navigation rail on large screens.
Like on phones, there are no tab labels. And the current page indicator is shaped like a circle instead of a pill. A similar implementation is also used in the upcoming Phone app redesign for tablets.
It is not known when Google is going to deploy this component for all users.

Google will delete personal accounts inactive for 2 years.
Starting later this year (December 2023), if a Google account has not been used and logged in for at least 2 years, Google can delete the account and its content, including content in Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar), YouTube and Google Photos.
This policy applies only to personal Google accounts and does not affect accounts of organizations, such as schools or businesses.
Before the account is deleted, the company will send several notifications in the months leading up to the deletion to both the account's primary and backup email address.
The easiest way to keep your Google account active is to log in at least once every 2 years. You can also sign up for a subnoscription set up through your Google Account, which would also count as activity.
