The next Google Pixels could feature significant camera improvements.
A major leak from Google’s gChips division suggests a series of new features that will be incorporated into the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 models, including AI-powered video editing.
Recently, significant details have surfaced regarding Google's future additions to its Pixel phones, specifically the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 models. The information comes from Google's gChips division and reveals some exciting features in terms of display and camera capabilities.
The Tensor G5, which will debut with the Pixel 10, is expected to introduce a variety of AI-focused tools. One of them is "Video Generative ML," which has a somewhat vague name and its description does not clarify much either: it involves an AI-based intuitive video editing tool for the Photos app. Although details are scarce, it can be inferred that this feature will allow users to edit videos more easily, perhaps removing mistakes or unnecessary parts without the need to manually review the entire recording. For example, if someone records a podcast, they could ask the AI to eliminate a sneeze without having to edit the entire content.
In addition to this feature, other editing tools in development are mentioned, such as “speak to tweak” and “sketch to image,” the latter of which is reminiscent of a similar function from Samsung. Another name that has emerged is “Magic Mirror,” although the specifications of this feature are still not known.
Regarding the cameras, while the Pixel line is already known for its excellent photographic capabilities, Google does not plan to stop here. Although the specific improvements to be implemented have not been detailed, the Tensor G5 is anticipated to be crucial for these advancements. The new chip is expected to support HDR video at 4K and 60 frames per second, which represents a significant advancement over the 30 fps of previous models. Looking ahead to the Pixel 11, it is rumored to use the Tensor G6, which could allow for camera zoom up to 100x thanks to machine learning, in addition to a new telephoto lens.
The Pixel 11 may also incorporate low-light video recording capability, a feature that is already present in the current model but relies on cloud processing. In this new version, processing would be done directly on the device. Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that rumors and leaks only reflect what is in development and that features may change or be removed before their final launch. Other speculation also suggests that the Pixel 11 could reintroduce infrared facial unlocking, further enhancing its appeal as a device.
