Pixel 6 voice typing support inserting punctuations
So a guy named Greg has its Pixel 6 delivered early on October 23th, which is three day earlier than the expected date. Anyway, he done some testing with the device, released the video to his YouTube channel, and one of it is the voice typing.
We know that the Pixel 6 is getting an improved voice typing, and well it kind of true. If you haven't noticed, the words displayed on the keyboard while activating voice typing will also adapt to where are you typing, for example in email application, it shows "say the email message" which is a nice addition.
Next, the guys just speak a long story. Both phone are on par with the typing speed, with the Pixel 6 slightly faster with a word ahead of the Pixel 3. After finish speaking the story, the guys then take a quick and noticed that the Pixel 6 support inserting punctuations while the Pixel 3 don't.
He also left the transcribe words in the video description which you can check it out yourself over there. There much more stuff that he showed off, and we have a summary post just for that. Anyway, here the source which is coming from here. (Reddit)

Pixel Pass isn't saving as much as you think
Pixel Pass, it's an optional subscription for your Pixel 6 to get all Google paid services in one bundle. You get Google One storage, Play Pass, YouTube Premium and Preferred Care.
This bundle is available for US customers only, also come with some few limitations:
1. Only 200GB Google One storage, no other options.
2. Cancel YouTube Premium subscription first if you have in order to buy Pixel Pass.
3. Must buy unlocked or Google Fi model, other are not eligible for the bundle.
Bundle service usually come with some saving, and Android Central did a great job for breaking down the billing for these services in Pixel Pass, and here how much you could save with it:
• Google One 200GB storage: $30 x 2 years = $60
• YouTube Premium: $12 x 24 months = $288*
• Google Play Pass: $30 x 2 years = $60
• Pixel Preferred Care 2-year single-payment: $149
• Total cost (without bundle and phone): $557
• Pixel 6: $599 (Total: $1156)
• Pixel Pass with Pixel 6: $45 x 24 months = $1080
• Actual savings of Pixel 6 Pixel Pass: $76
• Per month savings: $3.16/mo.
• Pixel 6 Pro: $899 (Total: $1456)
• Pixel Pass with Pixel 6 Pro: $55 x 24 months = $1320
• Actual savings of Pixel 6 Pro Pixel Pass: $136
• Per month savings: $5.66/mo.
Unless you are really going to use all these services, else it not really recommend to buy the bundle. Also, probably you take good care of the phone for 2 years and there no damage, you won't be even touching the Preferred Care which is definitely not worth. More details you can check out over here.

Why Pixel Pass won't actually save you any money with your Pixel 6

Google Play Store web interface to get a big change
UPDATE: Play Store web interface redesign is confirmed.
Don't know what bother Google so long to update the web interface for the Play Store, anyway they seem to be doing it.
Shared from a Chinese Telegram group, a user got server side rollout for the new interface of the Google Play Store on the desktop web. Now it looks much modern with Material Design language, and the interface is now much similar to what we see on the phone and tablet.
All the categories menu have been move from left to the top left, search bar is being redesigned into a single search button at the top right with the Help button and account profile picture. There much more changes in other section which you can discover yourself by viewing the images attached for now.
Currently it is rolling out via server side for a few people. Hope it can rollout more widely soon so we can test out how it works and you get to experience it too.

Pixels come with some exclusive features like Now Playing, Call Screening and much more. You may have know that the new Pixel 6 is coming with some of its own exclusive features too, like Motion Mode, Face Unblur, Magic Eraser, Live Translate...
Google have reported to Android Authority on what they are planning to bring to older devices, here what they said:
“As with all Pixel features, we aim to bring as many features as possible to older Pixels where technically possible — though it might take some time to develop and offer a different experience,”
“Some technologies will require additional technical investments, such as Live Translate, as our on-device language models are engineered to run on Pixel 6’s proprietary Tensor chip on TPU (which older Pixel models don’t have),”
“We currently do not have a firm date for rollout to older Pixels at this point in time, but stay tuned for future announcements.”
So what this simply said is that Google will try to bring some features from the Pixel 6 to older Pixels, likely through Pixel Feature Drop. Feel like an extra report with nothing meaningful reported, like we knows that Google will do that every year anyway. (Android Authority)Android Authority
Here's what Google says about Pixel 6 features coming to older Pixels
Google's Pixel 6 uses a custom SoC to enable various features, but could we see these features come to older Pixels? Here's what Google says.

Small update about this post. That guy uploaded another video about his additional thoughts and clarifications for his Pixel 6, also answering some other people questions. Apparently he also added two photos of Pixel 6 camera sample, normal and Night Sight.
Nothing really special, but if you still want to take a look, you are welcome. Anyway he also created a new Reddit thread, summarising everything he shared before. I guess this should mark an end for his sharing of the experience with his Pixel 6. Hope he enjoy his new phone.

Pixel 6 doesn't have face unlock, for now
Before the Pixel 6 series is officially launched, we always though that Pixel 6 Pro will be getting face unlock, also in the retailer page (earlier leaked one), it continue to use the same picture with Face Unlock mentioned. Reviewers at 9To5Google are really good at observing the feature, and they reported it isn't there, for now.
Well, it isn't available for now doesn't mean the feature won't exist. It could probably come via a software update. Marketing material has also been pushed to more people, it very unlikely that the feature would be scrapped at the last moment. (9To5Google)

Google Lens is getting some minor tweaks for selecting different filters
1~2: Old, 3: Last, 4: Current
Next year, Google Lens is getting a big upgrade, but for now Google Lens on Android is having minor tweak updates so you can easily reanalyze images with a different filter.
The tweak is kind of going backward to the old design but with words displayed instead of icon. Anyway, welcome back because I had prefer this rather than the last one which is introduced in July.
The changes is rolling out via server side, live on the Google app version 12.41 for me, it could possibly come to older version though. Anyway, link to download it below. (9To5Google)

Google protests ‘Internet’ QS panel on Android 12 , details future Pixel Feature Drop tweak
Android 12 stable arrived for Pixel last week with Pixel Fall Launch, and one of the major changes is the "Internet" QS panel. Not everyone like the changes, and Google released a post on their Pixel phone support forum, to protest why they are doing it.
Google said they are merging Wi-Fi and Mobile data toggle into one to "introduce a simpler and more intuitive connectivity experience for Pixel users." The main defense said about that many people forgot to re-enable Wi-Fi after disabling it, and making the changes could help them remember to enable it.
Also Google reported that in an upcoming Pixel Feature Drop, they will let you access the Internet panel from the lockscreen without unlocking it. Switching Wi-Fi networks will not be permitted “for device security and privacy reasons.” (9To5Google)
*To be honest, I really hope to see it is displaying in the notification panel instead of a popup panel,
