Latest news report that the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro could come equipped with AI-powered camera and video features.
It’s worth noting that Google’s Pixel phones are renowned to possess one of the best cameras in the market.
AI photo capabilities
With the Pixel 8 series, Google is leaving no stones unturned when it comes to powerful AI-driven features.
To begin with, users can expect a wholly-developed camera setup that uses AI to the best of its abilities.
To start off, there is a feature that will allow Pixel owners remove background noise from videos using artificial intelligence while enhancing other sounds at the same time.
Tipster’s revelations
These updates come from Mishaal Rahman on Twitter.
He cited Pixel Superfans who have been receiving surveys with the company’s sports partnerships titled “Superfans: Future of Pixel Sports Survey”.
These have heavily indicated hints of features that may surface in time for the launch of the Pixel 8 series later this year.
Audio Magic Eraser
The surveys have given way to possible leaks regarding novel features that the upcoming Pixel could feature.
This feature has been developed with the help of the talk of the town, AI.
With this, the user shooting a video will be able to get rid of unwanted background noise.
Imagine a spectator sitting next to you is making noise getting in the way of your shooting.
This could be a possible use case.
Enhanced audio
On the flipside, this AI-driven capability can help the user recording a video bring into focus reaction sounds from friends and family say, during a sports match.
The person shooting the video will be able to enhance the “sound of your friends and family’s reactions during a thrilling game, while minimizing the background stadium noise.”
Group photo enhancements
The aforementioned survey has hinted at yet another enhanced feature- this time it’s a photo.
The use of the “phone’s AI” is purported to generate a “perfect group photo”.
This, even when one of the subjects was distracted.
The phone can manage this by “merging everyone’s best shot” using AI on the smartphone.
The miracles through AI seem to have limitless implications.
Use voice to send replies
Not to be missed is a feature that will enable the users of this smartphone to quickly reply to messages simply using their voice.
So how this works is when you receive a message on your phone, you can ask Assistant to reply to it by dictating the message.
This could be available with the Pixel 8 or arrive later as a Pixel feature drop.
As it is, the Google Assistant already allows for this functionality in that users can send messages using voice commands.
Android and AI: Match made in heaven
Rahman found references to a voice-based response feature going through Android code suggesting a functionality that would allow users to say “Hey Google, reply”.
Then it becomes simple to dictate a response to the Google Assistant.
There is some credibility to this speculation given the strong track record when it comes to unearthing new features on Android.
