Kamila Wojciechowska is back with more exciting insights about upcoming Pixel devices. Just to remind you, earlier this month, she shared details not only on the Tensor G5 but also on the Tensor G6. Now, Wojciechowska has unveiled some details about the camera features that we can expect in Google's flagship phones for 2025 and 2026.
Enhanced Video Capabilities
It seems that Google is planning to enable the Pixel 10 series to shoot HDR videos in 4K at 60 FPS, which would double the frame rate of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL (currently available for $1,099 on Amazon). Additionally, the next generation of Pixels is rumored to include a 100x zoom feature, which was hinted at in earlier leaks. Furthermore, the Pixel 11 series is expected to offer Cinematic Blur at 30 FPS in 4K, thanks to the new 'Cinematic Rendering Engine'.
New Features for the Pixel 11
According to Wojciechowska, the Tensor G6's image signal processor (ISP) will introduce a feature called 'video relight', enabling adjustments to lighting conditions after capturing a shot. On top of that, the Pixel 11 is anticipated to have an 'Ultra Low Light' video mode, which could function in lighting as dim as 5-10 lux. What's even more impressive is that this feature will operate locally, unlike the Night Sight video capability found in the Pixel 9 series. By the way, Wojciechowska also mentioned that there are new AI enhancements being developed, which we will discuss in another piece.
Conclusion
In conclusion, these new features and improvements suggest that Google is aiming for significant advancements with the upcoming Pixel devices. With enhanced video capabilities and innovative camera technologies, the future of Pixel smartphones looks promising. Stay tuned for more updates as they come!
