Key Points:
- Pixel 9 Pro won’t record 8K video directly.
- Google’s AI tool, Video Boost, will upscale 4K to 8K.
- Zoom Enhance feature expected but uncertain for launch.
The upcoming Pixel 9 Pro smartphone will be a powerful device, but there’s a twist when it comes to video recording. While the camera hardware is capable of capturing stunning images, you won’t be able to shoot videos in the highest resolution, 8K.
Don’t worry though, Google has a clever plan. Instead of relying solely on the camera hardware, the Pixel 9 Pro will use its artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance your videos. A feature called Video Boost will take your 4K videos and transform them into impressive 8K quality. This happens by sending the video to Google’s powerful computers, which use smart software to improve the details and sharpness.
Another exciting feature rumored for the Pixel 9 Pro is Zoom Enhance. This technology promises to deliver clearer and sharper zoomed-in images. However, it’s still unclear if this feature will be ready when the phone launches.
While it’s a bit disappointing that the Pixel 9 Pro won’t have native 8K video recording, the combination of Video Boost and Zoom Enhance shows Google’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone photography.
