Google app beta enables redesigned Search suggestions UI on Android 13
When you open the Google app and click on the "Search" box, a new list design for autocomplete suggestions, similar to what you may have seen in Pixel Launcher, opens up.
Each item is placed in a card with the top and bottom one featuring rounded corners. The icon at the left noting whether something is a previous search term or a new query is placed in a circle. Touch targets are ever so slightly taller.
This change is in A/B testing and appears in the latest version of the Google app (13.20) on Android 13.

🇬🇧 Google's Pixel Notepad foldable device reportedly coming in the 4th quarter of 2022. Also, the dimensions of the foldable display will have similar size as Samsung Z Fold 4. But there is a difference in the cover display. The Z Fold 4 will have a 6.19″…
Google has once again postponed the launch of its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Notepad.
Earlier rumors said the company was planning to launch sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, but now it has postponed the launch again. People familiar with the matter said the postponement is likely due to the fact that the product isn't as complete as Google would like it to be.
Earlier, Nexplus, a South Korean supplier of hinges for Samsung Display panels, all but confirmed that it plans to produce hinges for the 7.57-inch folding screen (that is, Google's screen) at its plant in Yesan. According to interlocutors, the company has also held talks with Samsung Display on this project.
We will most likely see the device sometime in 2023.

Here's what Gboard will look like on foldable devices.
The folks at the Rboard Themes channel were able to activate the "Split Keyboard" look of Gboard, which is designed for foldable devices.
They also provided flags that can be activated with the Rboard app (root). They recommend using them only on tablets, because on regular devices the layout is broken and only works properly in landscape mode (4th picture).

Google Nest Hub finally lets you have a clock with the date on your homescreen
Reddit user u/BrandonYeo spotted that Google has now introduced the date above the clock in the bottom left-hand corner on the Nest Hub’s homescreen.
Previously, you’ve not been able to have both the date and the time displayed at the same time while using the popular Photo Frame homescreen that cycles through highlights from your Google Photos.

Right below the bar noting what radio you’re playing from and "Save" shortcut, there’s a new carousel of filters that you can tap to customize with plays next in Up next. “All” is the default and joined by “Familiar,” “Recommendation,” and “Instrumental.”
According to one user on Reddit who discovered the feature, the filter pills vary by song and they only mention it appearing for radio-generated queues.

Google Drive Web now allows you to cut, copy and paste files using keyboard shortcuts
You can now use familiar keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C (or ⌘ + C on Mac), Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V to copy, cut and paste Google Drive files in your Chrome browser. This saves you time by allowing you to copy one or more files and move them to new locations in Drive, and across multiple tabs, with fewer clicks.
Additionally, a link to the file and its title will also be captured when copying a file, which allows you to easily paste them into a document or an email.
To help you more easily organize files in multiple locations without necessarily creating duplicate files, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Shift + V will create shortcuts.
Lastly, you can open files or folders in a new tab using Ctrl+Enter, so that you can easily view multiple files at once, or use different tabs to more easily organize files between two different folder locations.

The change was spotted by our follower @xheshx in Google Сontacts app version 3.68.0.445910596. I, being on a newer version, don't see this change, so this is a server-side test.

First look at the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. #GoogleIO Follow Google News | En. Русскоязычный контент теперь на Google News | Ru.
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will feature the same display as the Pixel 6 series, but with some tweaks.
A new driver for the C10 and P10 displays, which is short for Cheetah and Panther (codenames Pixel 7 and 7 Pro), appeared on Android Open Source Project. As it turns out, future flagships will have the same Samsung S6E3FC3 and S6E3HC3 panels as the Pixel 6 series.
But, since the Pixel 7 will be smaller than the Pixel 6, its display will be affected. It will become 1 mm narrower and 2 mm shorter. There are no differences in display sizes between the Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro.
But the Pixel 7 Pro display will be able to display content in 1080p, which will help save energy by rendering everything at 1080p and letting the panel’s “DDIC scaling” convert it to 1440p.
Speaking of which, in Android 13 Beta 1, Mishaal Rahman discovered a settings page related to this feature.

Google working on built-in snore and cough detection for Pixel, Android
Google Health Studies hit version 2.0 to support the launch of a new digital wellbeing study. Strings in that update reveal a “Sleep Audio Collection” study that’s only available to Google employees.
Google's “Health Sensing team is actively working to bring an advanced suite of sensing capabilities and algorithms to Android devices with the goal of providing users with meaningful insight into their sleep.” This audio collection “supports this mission by providing data necessary to validate, tune, and develop such algorithms.”
These “сough and Snore algorithms” will translate into a “bedside monitoring” feature on Android devices that works in a “privacy-preserving, on-device” manner for “nocturnal cough and snore monitoring.”
As Mishaal Rahman notes, this feature could use the Ambient Context API introduced in Android 13 (explained on Esper) , and will probably work through Digital Wellbeing and Clock apps.
