Got my new 3a XL and there are no pixel wallpapers. Even the default wallpaper is not a pixel wallpaper.
What the hell?

It's easy enough to download the apk and install them but it is an odd omission.

True, but it's odd for sure.

I find the lack of other items (especially #teampixel swag) equally odd - and especially given the hashtag appears on the packaging itself. Is the wallpaper at least available on the Play Store? (I have complained about the lack of #teampixel swag with the #missedopportunity - aimed directly at Google - this is the first wide-targeting Google -approved device since the Nexus days - and the first wide-target Pixel in North America at all - and Google - which is normally at least decent at merchandising - blows it THIS big?)
Not worth getting revved up, the apks for the wallpaper are available and can be installed without root.

Looks good, I like it

Link to its launch video.. beautiful lady in the end..
So, does this mean that either a) we are going to have more color options for themes in Mango final, or b) handset makers are now able to set their own theme colors? Because some of the system tile colors in this video and other photos of this new phone are clearly not what we have today (like the gray - I want gray!).

Well, I know Orange UK had their own colour (I bet you can't guess what it was...) which was different to the standard colours - so, yeah, I'm sure OEMs can if carriers can.

There was a phone in there ?
She is a dude ;D.
It reminds me a lot of Droid X because of the buttons .
Looks great. I'm all for durable phones.
Literally just got the phone and what I'm noticing in pretty much the majority of the images displayed on it (from g+, fb, BBC news, Google search etc) is that the quality of the pictures is noticeably bad i.e lots of grain etc around them, lower res etc
If you click on the photo it then renders fine, I've never noticed this on any phone before, and unsure if it's a setting somewhere?
I'm on WiFi so it's not my operator compressing photos or anything like that

That's just scaling for the Google home feed. If you look at the image where it came from- Twitter, it's fine. I looked on both the app and the Chrome version, same quality.

Was just about to say that. Rendering is dependent on the application not the device. If the issue was device caused then the homescreen would contain the same low resolution quality.

Yeah I get that, but what's weird to me is that in the same app with the same image on two different devices the image is noticeably worse

What is going on February 13th? I tried googling it, but no luck. I literally have mine boxed up to go back, debating if I should keep it lol.
Speaking of teasing, where did you hear anything regarding February 13th regarding Google or Pixel?

Ah, that one just refers to a teaser they made for the Pixel 6 with a focus on the true tone camera capability, they will release/show a video about it in the half-time of the next Super Bowl.
It's a new marketing campaign with the slogan #SeenOnPixel, designed to sell more of the sold-out Pixel 6.
There's nothing new, it's just a video about the Pixel we already have.

Google's increased advertising for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will continue at the Super Bowl with a focus on the camera's Real Tone capability...

This means that Google joined the growing list of companies that - at least officially - care for the Right to Repair. Since the EU is about to pass legislation (will still take a certain amount of time until it comes into effect) that will force companies to simplify battery removal, and other sustainability changes, this change of heart doesn't come as a surprise. But it's still ofc nice to see companies acting without immediate pressure.
This is a very good thing and about time, my only concern is the parts will all be sold with a hefty profit and therefore will not be very attractive to most people given you could bugger the phone up completely trying to repair it.

A new set of ringtones, notification sounds, and alarms (actually, a dozen of each) under the umbrella heading of Natural Elements should be popping up on your Pixel right about now — 9to5Google noticed this on the Pixel 7 units they received as well as a Pixel 6 Pro, but the new sounds also appeared on my Pixel 6a. These compositions take plenty of inspiration from the prototypical ideas we all get about nature from the animals that inhabit the wilds to the winds, rain, and rivers that ebb and flow. Strings, woodwinds, and rattles accompany some of these sounds if not drive the pieces as a whole forward.
Hit up the Sounds section of the system settings and you should be able to spot the changes for yourself — keep an eye out for a v3.0 (472386834) update to the Sounds app on the Play Store or, if you'd rather just take the initiative, download it from APK Mirror.
Below is a full listing of titles of the Natural Elements sounds:
