Google removed these features from the Pixel 8 series before they were announced،
The Pixel 7 series has been improved over the Pixel 6 line and the Pixel 8 models are an improvement over the Pixel 7 line.
Pixel 7 Telephone (s. Among the new features found in the
Pixel 8 The series allows users to use Face Unlock to verify their identity when paying using
Google Pay. Thanks to AI and Machine Learning, the facial recognition system is considered secure enough to verify the user’s identity. Face Unlock on the
Pixel 7 The series was deemed less secure, requiring Google Pay users to use their fingerprints for biometric identity verification.
THE Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have many exciting AI and machine learning features
Another new feature on both phones is the Magic Editor. A logical continuation of the Magic Eraser, this functionality allows
Pixel 8 series user to resize objects and move them in an already processed photo. Time of day, background and lighting can also be changed. With the best catch,
Pixel 8 And
Pixel 8 Users can replace a frowning face or a person’s face with closed eyes in a group photo with an additional photo of the person’s face taken by the
camera that shows the subject smiling or with eyes wide open.
While these AI and machine learning features are just some of the new things you can do on a
Pixel 8 Or
Pixel 8 Pro, Google removed three other features from its latest Pixel models at the last minute. According to a tweet from
Michael Rahman (via AndroidAuthority), all three features include DisplayPort Alternate Mode which would have enabled
Pixel 8 Series users can connect to an external display via USB-C. This is how
Samsung DeX users can connect to an external display in desktop mode.
When you try to connect to an external display with the
Pixel 8 line, nothing happens. As Android Authority notes, by doing this with the
iPhone 15 line, the first iPhone models to feature a USB-C port, the external display mirrors the iPhone. Rahman believes this feature will be available to Pixel users next year, perhaps with the Pixel 9.
8K and super slow motion videos were extracted from the Pixel 8 last minute series
Another feature that Google has apparently “removed” from the
Pixel 8 the line at the last minute was an 8K
video recording. While the material in the
Pixel 8 And
Pixel 8 Pro can support 8K video at 30fps (the sensor that supports the main camera and the ISP of the Tensor G3 chipset can support it), the software cannot. For now, 4K video at 60fps is the limit, although 8K video may appear on Pixel handsets within the next two generations.
The latest feature that Google reportedly extracted from Pixel 8 the line at the last minute was in super slow motion 720p @ 480fps. With this support removed, both new Pixels can record slow motion at 1080p at 240fps.
New Pixel 8 And Pixel 8 Pro Would the handsets have been much better if Google hadn’t included these three features? This depends on each individual, as not everyone needs to connect to an external display, record in 8K, or record in super slow motion. Pixel 8 users should probably just be happy with the new features they received. We wouldn’t be surprised if these three features appear on next year’s Pixel 9 lineup or the Pixel 10 series in 2025 at the earliest.
