Now that the curtains have been lifted from the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro, sadly, the Pro variant has managed to receive the biggest update in terms of the camera. Google has announced that the Pro variant will be the only device that will get all the pro controls, like the ability to change focus, shutter speed, and ISO.
Thanks to AI capabilities, the Pixel 8 Pro is a photography powerhouse
In addition to that, Google is also bringing the new video Boost and Night Sight Video capabilities to the Pixel 8 Pro, leaving the standard variant stranded.
The Pixel 8 Pro will bring a number of pro controls. Google has been offering these controls for some time now, and over the past couple of years, the feature has only become better.
As expected, the Pixel 8 Pro will offer a myriad of shooting options for those who are looking to truly transform the pictures they are taking. If you have been looking to make sure that your photos are better, you will have teh chance to do so with the new phone. Google will also allow you to take full-resolution shots with the new Resolution toggle. This means that your photos will not be binned down and will be in the maximum resolution, so you don't have to worry about not getting the shots that you are looking to get.
In addition to that, the Tensor G3 chipset allows the Pixel 8 Pro to be a lot more powerful than some might think. For instance, Magic Eraser now runs natively on the device, and other than that, the Zoom Enhance feature also looks amazing. While the feature is not out yet, it will start rolling out in a couple of months.
During the launch, Google also talked about a new feature for Pixel 8 Pro called Video Boost, which will help create HDR videos with better grading, and you will also be able to take Night Sight videos.
Needless to say, Google's reliance on AI seems like it is paying off, and while the phones might not have class-leading hardware, it is obvious that the AI capabilities are on full display, and since it is AI, we can expect it to get better with time. I'm just hoping that these features only work the way they are advertised, and if that is so, we have some serious camera performance on our hands.
