Even though Google may not be ready to reveal the Pixel 8 Pro just yet, there are a growing number of leaks that claim to know more about what the device will have to offer. The Pixel 8’s sibling is also comparable in this regard.
But, the big boy Pixel 8 Pro is the focus of the most recent rumor, which this time claims that the phone will have new camera technology to improve Night Sight images even further.
the latest Google Camera update includes references to a new type of Night Sight technology that would allow for even more detailed shots. The article states that the code uncovered in the Google Camera app implies that the company intends to repurpose its existing Super Res Zoom feature to add data to photographs taken at night.
Super Res Zoom takes data acquired from the main and telephoto cameras of the Pixel 7 Pro and patches them together. Similar events are anticipated to occur with Night Seeing.
“From what we can piece together, the ‘Multi-camera Super Res Zoom’ function above seems to be referred to in the code as “Hawk” and “FusionZoom.” In a tweak exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro, Google is expanding when this special Hawk variant of Super Res Zoom can be used, enabling it for Night Sight images,” the report claims.
It’s believed that Google aims to effectively do the same thing this time out, with both cameras capturing a shot while Night Sight is enabled and then combining them together to generate an image that neither camera would have been capable of if left to their own devices.
