The Pixel 8 series has enhanced gradation expression, allowing you to draw subjects that are difficult to draw, such as dark skin, in vivid colors.

Night shift mode allows you to clearly record subjects even at night.

It also has an astrophotography mode specialized for drawing stars.

Macro mode allows you to take close-up shots of small objects.

With Pixel 8 Pro, you can take pictures with less blur while on the move.

Furthermore, Pixel 8 Pro can take clear photos even in environments with large differences in brightness and darkness.

Like the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel 8 Pro also has a digital zoom function using AI super resolution.

'Best Take' has been added to Google Photos, allowing you to select an expression later. For example, in the photo below, the woman in the photo is smiling, but the boy in the foreground has a strange look on his face.

In situations like this, you can use Google Photos to extract facial expressions from consecutive photos taken at the same location and combine them into a single photo.

The edited photo looks like this. Everyone smiled.

Furthermore, Google Photos also has a function called ``Audio Eraser Magic'' that removes noise from the audio of movies.

An example of voice eraser magic is like this.
