Pixel Camera 9.2 rolls out to all Pixel phones with revamped UI and more

Not too long ago, Google launched its latest Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, showcasing impressive AI camera capabilities. While the Pixel 8 The series has camera 9.1, older devices still run on version 9.0. However, the tech giant is wasting no time, as it has already started the release of Pixel Camera 9.2. 9to5Googlethe update is now available on all Pixel devices via Google game. The revamped app introduces a user-friendly interface, moving brightness, shadow and white balance options from the edges of the viewfinder to a convenient carousel accessible from the bottom right corner.

Notably, Pixel 8 Users will notice a new addition – a Reset All button on the left for quick adjustments, a feature already present in the 8 Pro.

Another notable change is the preferences panel (Flash, Top Shot, Timer, Ratio, etc.) moving from a top-aligned position to a bottom sheet, accessible by sliding the viewfinder up. Google's decision to place more camera controls at the bottom of the screen improves user accessibility.

A significant update in the latest version is the Palm timer, now enabled by default only when the 3 or 10 second timer is used. With this update, users have the option to set it to Always On.

If you go to Camera Settings > Advanced, new on/off options for Ultra HDR and Rich Colors in Photos await you. These features are new additions for older devices, while Pixel 8 owners have the option to turn off Ultra HDR.

Google recently gave its camera app a new nickname. Formerly called the Google Camera app, the rebranding is because, being exclusive to Pixel devices, the previous name seemed a bit off. The name reveal took place during Google I/O in May.
