Google Pixel phones have always focused on great camera specs and the upcoming Pixel 8 series leak reveals manual camera controls, and new features with AI integration.
The leaked video posted on 91Mobiles by reliable leaker Kamila Wojciechowska, provides exclusive details like the new camera features coming to Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, with Night Sight, Astrophotography, and Super Res Zoom.
Another notable feature added to the camera specs is “Video Boost,” which will use AI to create a “smoother view” as well as bring Night Sight’s effects to video. The “Audio Eraser” will accompany the new features list, removing any unwanted sounds in videos like city noise.
The most wild and exciting feature of the upcoming series is the use of AI in videos to change people’s faces in different shots to create an ideal version.
This time Google is also giving full manual controls on the Pixel 8 called “Pro Controls” which are “modeled after DSLR controls.” The Magic Editor has already been teased at Google’s I/O event which can remove objects from photos and change the background with a tap.
Pixel 8 Pro is expected to add autofocus to the selfie camera, which is a 10.5MP sensor. Both devices will have 50MP primary sensors on both devices at f/1.68, a 1/1.31-inch sensor, and a 1.2 μm pixel width. Pixel 8 will get a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, while Pixel 8 Pro will get a 48MP ultrawide and another 48MP telephoto camera at 5x. The phones are set to be released on October 4.
