The Canadian phone accessory maker dbrand, known for their Grip series of cases and vinyl skins has announced a preorder for their gear for the Google Pixel 6a shipping August 2022.

And again a sign of life for face unlock in the kernel source for Android 13 Beta 2 for Pixel 6/Pro devices:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/gs/+/aa70c503ac7a303e6e69bfec627f4b4898c9384a

Seems it's still being worked on. Fingers crossed :)

If you're trying to root your Pixel running Android 13 Beta 2, use the latest Magisk Canary as it has the fix for it to work properly

There are some GKI changes that require some minor but critical workarounds. You also need to need to disable verity/verification & wipe as well.
