An engineering sample of Google Pixel 7 was put up on Ebay
As the seller states, this copy is an engineering sample, as evidenced by the logo on the back cover. Device runs on Android 13, which has Pixel apps in development stage
The product comes "as is" and without any guarantees. The IMEI of the device is clean, and the certification model is designated as GUV6C, which is the first time we've heard of it. In addition, the device is equipped with 128 GB of storage.
It is worth noting that, judging by the reflection on the back of the device, these photos were taken on the Pixel 7 Pro. We can only guess how it turned out that way.

Next-gen Tensor on Pixel 7 said to be 4nm, made by Samsung again
According to Korean publication DDaily.co.kr, Samsung will once again produce Google's second-generation Tensor chip. It will be built on a 4-nanometer process (compared to 5 nm today). The only other specification disclosed today is the use of panel-level packaging (PLP) technology:
PLP is a packaging technique in which chips cut from a wafer are placed on a rectangular panel. It is possible to minimize the discarded edge, thereby reducing cost and improving productivity.
Mass production of the second-generation Tensor is said to begin in June, while the release of the smartphone is scheduled for October.
Today’s report also says that Samsung today manufactures Waymo’s autonomous driving chips, and it could produce Google server chips in the future.

Source: Pixel Watch battery life expected to last a day
9to5Google's source says that the Pixel Watch's 300mAh battery will last a day. This is the estimate Google has at this stage of the pre-release life cycle, so things could change by the time the device is released. Under what conditions the data was obtained is not reported. (Whether AOD was turned on, measurement of sleep data, etc.)
It was also revealed that the Pixel Watch's full charge time via a magnetic USB-C cable is about 110 minutes, which is equivalent to the Galaxy Watch4.

A mysterious high-end Pixel phone may be in the works.
Earlier, 9to5Google found mentions of "C10" and "P10" displays on the Android Open Source Project, which are associated with the Cheetah (Pixel 7 Pro) and Panther (Pixel 7), respectively.
In addition to those, there were also discovered devices codenamed Felix and Lynx. The former may turn out to be the Pixel 7a, and the latter may be the newly delayed Pixel Notepad, running on second-generation Tensor.
But the most interesting thing is that Google is preparing to support a completely different display, which has been labeled as "G10", with the same characteristics as the 6 Pro / 7 Pro (120 Hz, 1440×3120 resolution, 71x155mm physical size), but made not by Samsung, but BOE, a Chinese manufacturer of displays, which is sometimes used by Apple.
What this Pixel device is, however, remains a mystery.

Google Authenticator 5.20 update hides your 2FA codes until you tap to reveal.
Now, Google Authenticator will hide the six-digit codes until you “Click to reveal PIN.” The circular countdown indicator at the right remains visible. A long-press will automatically copy it to your clipboard and let you take other actions.
Multiple can be clicked at the same time, while a tap re-hides. This tweak means that all your codes aren’t in plain view every time you open the app.

Thanks to the fact that the Pixel 7 Pro uses the same display panel as Pixel 6 Pro and that Google opened some of the drivers, developer @Lunarixus managed to run them on the Pixel 6 Pro (published on his channel @lunarixus_work).
