1. Underwater Photography
Among the most exciting additions is the brand-new underwater photography capability. With IP68-rated water resistance already built into select Pixel phones, this update shifts the focus underwater, enabling vibrant aquatic imagery. However, Google emphasizes the necessity of waterproof housing for optimal functionality. By pairing your Pixel phone with a suitable protective case, you unlock a high-performance tool for documenting marine life.
Color reproduction has seen remarkable improvement, enhancing hues and details in underwater settings. Whether it’s the iridescent colors of a coral reef or the shadows of oceanic depths, your Pixel phone now renders aquatic scenes with breathtaking accuracy.
Additionally, the code in the Pixel Camera APK highlights Google’s commitment to refining this feature:

Google has long been at the forefront of computational photography, and the enhancements to the astrophotography feature in Night Sight mode further cement this position. The update introduces a dedicated Astro slider in the Night Sight interface, making it easier than ever to capture breathtaking images of the night sky.
The process is remarkably user-friendly:

This streamlined approach removes the guesswork from astrophotography, allowing even novice users to capture professional-quality images of stars, planets, and phenomena like the Aurora Borealis. The Pixel’s advanced AI algorithms work behind the scenes to ensure optimal exposure and noise reduction, resulting in crisp, detailed shots of the cosmos.
