Those who remember the Pixel 8 launch event last October will remember that Google announced a number of AI-powered camera features, including zoom enhancement on the Pixel 8 Pro Ten months later, that feature is finally ready to be rolled out That means it will be included in both the Pixel 9 Pro series and the Pixel 8 Pro

Google announced the news in a blog post detailing some of the new camera features coming to the Pixel 9 series The features will be available on the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro X, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with no obvious love for the standard Pixel 9 However, Pixel 8 Pro owners will be pleased to hear that Zoom Enhance is already starting to roll out to their phones

For those who have never heard of the Zoom Enhance feature, or have forgotten about it due to the 10-month delay in its launch, it is a feature that literally “zooms” the phone The idea is that you can continue to zoom in on your photo beyond the capabilities of the camera it was taken with, while the AI “intelligently fills in the gaps between pixels and predicts the fine details for high quality post-capture zoom results”

Initially, Google said that zoom enhancement would be added to the Pixel 8 Pro as part of a future Pixel Feature Drop, not at launch
