Next month, it looks like new features coming to the Pixel 8 series will bring it closer to a DSLR-level experience. Photos leaked by Kamila Wojchowska Demo a new “Pro” mode in the Google Camera UI for the Pixel 8 Pro.

This new UI can be accessed by swiping up on a small white bar below the shutter button. In this new menu, parameters such as ISO sensitivity, shutter speed and focus can be manually controlled. These features were previously available for many years through GCam’s custom apps, and now they’re coming to the official app. After selecting a parameter, a transparent slider may appear for adjustments, and a reset button to return it to the default.

The Pixel 8 series will also incorporate a new feature that supports artificial intelligence in the photography experience. Magic Editor is a new feature coming to select Pixel phones to upgrade the Magic Eraser experience. It will have the ability to combine the best parts of different frames into one image. It also gives users the ability to move subjects around the image frame, and even change the time of day by replacing a mid-day sky with a sunset.

Google is seemingly bringing massive upgrades to the camera department. For the first time in any Google device, the Pixel 8 Pro will get an autofocus front-facing camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera with autofocus. Users can expect greater consistency between lenses when taking photos or videos.

The leaked spec sheet above shows many new features coming to the Pixels. The audio eraser is another AI feature that can isolate background noise from the video subject. You can learn more about the upcoming Pixel event here.
