Google has finally fixed the vulnerability that they found
Mishaal Rahman

After discovering the exploit 6 months ago, the Google Pixel team has finally fixed the Mali GPU Kernel Driver issue that was found by the Project Zero team at Google.

The vulnerability, known as CVE-2022-36449, was found between June and July 2022 and was fixed by ARM in July and August 2022. However, many OEMs, including Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo, have yet to address the issue.

Affected Pixel 6 and 7 series devices have been patched with an updated GPU driver in the Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 with stable builds rolling out in March of 2023.

Google told Engadget that "The fix provided by ARM is currently undergoing testing for Android and Pixel devices and will be delivered in the coming weeks...Android OEM partners will be required to take the patch to comply with future SPL requirements."

This could mean, that Google could require OEMs (including themselves) to include this fix starting from the January 2023 security patch.

Pixel 6a wins MKBHD's 2022 blind camera test!
YouTube

Surprisingly, the Google Pixel 6a won this years MKBHD'S Blind Smartphone Camera Test 2022!

It beat the Pixel 7 Pro (at second place), Zenfone 9, Find X5 Pro, S22 Ultra, iPhone 14 Pro and the Mate 50 Pro in the community voting by getting the most points on average.

While the phone wasn't the best in the 3 categories: regular, night mode and portrait, it was in the top 3 in all categories, with it being 3rd in regular, 2nd in night mode and portrait.

For comparison, the Pixel 7 came in 2nd, 4th and 1st with 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 (used since the Pixel 2 in 2017) shockingly beat the 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor used in the Pixel 7 Pro.
