Android 14 may allow you to create an emoji wallpaper on your Pixel.
In #Android14_DP2, a new "Emoji Wallpaper" app has been discovered under /product, which appears to be exclusive to the Pixel. They are not available by default, but when enabled through the debug flag, a new "Emoji Lab" set will appear in the wallpaper list. Clicking on it will open a page that allowed you to create new wallpapers with different emoji.
When you create a wallpaper, you can choose up to 14 emoji to be included in the custom wallpaper, choose one of the patterns: "Mosaic", "Lotus", "Stacks", "Placer", "Prism"; and choose one of the colors. It is also possible to choose a random set.
The app will save several emoji wallpapers you have created in the corresponding section, and you will have the possibility to edit them.

Pixel Launcher works on updating the app shortcuts popup window.
#Android14_DP2
Google is working on an update to the design of the window that appears when you hold down an app icon. It's now two solid containers: one for app shortcuts, the other for everything else.
In addition, the parallel bars on the right side, signaling that an object can be dragged, are gone, but the functionality itself remains. It is worth assuming that the design is not yet complete.
This change is hidden behind the developer flag

Google Files works on even more Material You redesign.
In the new iteration, dynamic colors are now applied to the page background, various components such as lists have been converted into containers with rounded corners, and the logo in the top bar has been replaced by the search bar that we are familiar with from other Google apps.
Overall, we can say that the work is still in progress. The colors still need to be adjusted, and the system navbar does not match the color of the app's navigation bar.

Google Files preps dual-pane Material You Redesign for Large Screen devices.
The redesign for phone form-factor I spotted earlier is actually part of a larger-screen app's UI revamp. The main emphasis on the 'Clean' and 'Browse' pages now is on using a two-pane layout with Activity embedding.
Other pages, such as Settings and Search, have been isolated in a container with rounded corners. You've already seen a similar solution in the upcoming Google News redesign.

First look at the animated gesture pill in Android 14.
#Android14_DP2
In Android 13, the gesture bar remains mostly static, except when you switch from an app to the Recents overview, the bar moves with the app card, but as soon as you release your finger, it returns to its place without any animation.
Thankfully, that's about to change. In Android 14 Developer Preview 2, we managed to enable an animated navigation bar gesture pill. The spring animation plays when you bring up the Recents overview menu, when you swipe to home, and when you go from the app to the Recents overview (it no longer goes with the app card).
❗️This is not the final look. At this stage, it's still extremely unstable, because as you can see from the demo, the animated pill overlaps the static one. This will most likely be fixed in future builds.

Google Pixel 8 Pro first set of renders leaks online.
The renders were shared by OnLeaks via Smartprix. The images show a redesigned body with rounded corners. It looks like this time the display in the pro version will be flat.
In addition, significant changes can be seen in the camera module, where all three lenses are now combined into a single oval area. Under the flash there is a new sensor, but its specific function remains unknown. It could be a macro or depth sensor, or a completely new sensor technology.
The Pixel 8 Pro's display will be about 6.7-inch with a cutout for the camera in the center. The device measures 162.6×76.5×8.7 mm and is about 12 mm thick, including the camera bump. The display has been resized to create more rounded corners, resulting in a slightly smaller overall size.
