A new app is coming for Google Pixels

The listing isn't live yet. So no idea what this could be. It could also be a system app, so in that case it may not appear on Play Store at all.

There are two other new package names

• com.google.android.mosey
• com.google.android.healthcore

but these doesn't seem pixel specific. "Mosey" is again a codename for the app..
