![]() And so, that's one of the features that I'm interested in just checking out for myself. Which honestly, I thought the results were pretty good in the Pixel 6, but based on some of the sample photos I saw, it's exciting to see that it can get better. Google has now improved Real Tone a little bit more, so even in darker situations you'll get an even better result. And one of the cooler improvements that I'm looking forward to test is that there's some apparently really good improvements with Real Tone, which was their feature that, when you took a picture of a person of color, too often the image came out either a little too dark or just not great looking in a way that didn't affect people with lighter skin. Michael Calore: Cameras where it's at, right? We do this every year, where they talk about all the great improvements to the chip and the great improvements to the design, but then we spend all of our time talking about the camera because that's really where the innovation seems to be happening. This is sort of a staple feature, but essentially Google's saying it's making it even better, so you can go up to 30 times zoom on the Pixel 7 Pro and get a pretty crisp shot still at the end of the day. It's very similar to what a lot of other phones have, like the iPhone has Cinematic Mode, for example.Īnd another new feature is Super Res Zoom, where Google says it's doing a lot more processing to make your zoomed out photos look a lot better. So there's Portrait Mode, which adds a blur effect to the subject, but now you can do that with video. There's also Cinematic Blur, which lets you take Portrait Mode-style videos. So we'll have to see how it works out, but that's one new feature. And there were a few examples they showed us that looked a little too good to be true, to be honest. Basically, it lets you change any old existing photo that you might have in your Google Photos library: It will make it look not blurry, which is kind of crazy. So for example, Google says it's made Night Sight, which helps you capture low-light images two times faster, thanks to the new Tensor G2 chip that's in there.Īnd there are changes like a new feature called Photo Unblur, which I think is really cool. A lot of the real improvements are in the software. But overall, there aren't really a ton of crazy changes here with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. So if Google ends up surprising everyone by announcing new AR glasses, we're not going to be talking about it today. We happen to be recording this podcast a day before the Google hardware event. They make hardware too, of course, and this week they're hosting an event in New York City. We are in hardware season right now, which is when some of the world's biggest tech companies reveal the flagship hardware they've been developing for the past 18 to 24 months. Lauren Goode: OK, it's October, which means we're still in the middle of silly season over here, and no, I'm not talking about the whims of Elon Musk and whether or not he actually wants to buy Twitter, although that is still happening, and it's still ridiculous. Lauren Goode: And WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu is our friend of the pod today.
