Google launched its most refined Pixel smartphones – Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8 – this year. With the phones, especially the pricier Pixel 8 Pro, the company went all in with maximising the use of AI and
machine learning
features via a smartphone. Apart from being a pocket-sized AI powerhouse, it is also packed with excellent features that elevate the photography game to a whole new level.
The
Google Pixel 8 Pro
is powered by the
Google Tensor G3 chipset
that takes all the load of advanced AI and ML capabilities. You can also read the review of the Google Pixel 8 Pro. Here are the top six
AI-powered features
that set the Pixel 8 Pro apart:
Magic Editor
This superpowered version of Magic Eraser allows users to move objects around, change the colour of the sky and sea, add clouds and even apply fancy stylised effects to enhance a photo without the need of advanced tools like Photoshop.
Magic Audio Eraser
This feature identifies background noise in videos, allowing users to remove unwanted sounds with a swipe. It's a handy tool for those situations where the wind obscures voice during commentary.
Best Take
This feature changes a subject's face in a group photo by selecting an option made available from expressions generated from other images.
Recorder with Summarise
The Recorder app, exclusive to Pixel phones, offers one of the best recording and transcription experiences among any voice recorder app on the Google Play Store. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro use the Tensor G3 to AI-generated summaries of recordings in brief bullet points.
Video Boost
When users record a video, the phone stores it as a temporary video file. Video Boost uses this file to make a boosted video. Users can save a video to the cloud and Google will use AI tools to enhance the video by means of colour corrections, contrast, brightness, etc and saves it back to the users’ phones.
