Google Pixel 10 and 11 could get these new camera and AI features
The thing that usually leaks last about Pixel devices is the software features. While every detail of the hardware typically leaks months in advance, we usually only learn about the new software right before the launch. This is not the case today, as thanks to a massive leak from Google’s gChips division, Android Authority has viewed credible documents that hint at a few new features we can expect from the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11.
AI Features
The big thing Google phones currently focus on is AI features, and it’s no different in the case of the upcoming Pixel phones. Thanks to its improved TPU, Tensor G5 (expected to make its debut in the Pixel 10 series and newer), will be getting “Video Generative ML” features. Google is also exploring several AI features for photo editing, including “Speak-to-Tweak” and “Sketch-to-Image”. Additionally, there is prior evidence indicating that Google is developing a Sketch-to-Image feature for its Gemini project.
Camera Upgrades
Google focuses heavily on the cameras of its phones. Tensor G5 finally supports 4K 60fps HDR video, whereas previous models only allowed up to 4K 30fps HDR video. The Pixel 11 may also offer 100x zoom capabilities through Machine Learning for both photos and videos. Cinematic Blur is getting an upgrade on the Pixel 11, with support for 4K 30fps and a new “video relight” feature. Last, and perhaps the most exciting feature potentially coming to the Pixel 11 is “Ultra Low Light video” or “Night Sight video” which will be fully on-device.
Additional Features
Thanks to the inclusion of a new “nanoTPU” in the low-power part of the Tensor G6, Google is planning on adding a few ML-based always-on features to the Pixel phones. Some of these features are health-related, such as detection of various conditions and emergency sound event detection. Pixel 11 might also bring support for more Quick phrases.
