With its upgraded image signal processor (ISP), the latest Google Tensor chip makes some of Pixel’s

possible. Paired with new sensors, it helps all the Pixel 11 phones deliver stunning image and video quality.

The ISP includes a custom accelerator that unlocks 4K Portrait Video for the first time on Pixel. Portrait Video blurs the background behind your subject to add a cinematic effect to your videos.

Another new camera feature, Magic Capture, makes it easier to catch the moment as you live it. A hybrid processing architecture that leverages the power of Google Tensor G6 and the expansive capabilities of Google Cloud lets you take both video and photos, then edit, crop, and unblur a curated collection that’s ready to share – all automatically, with just one tap.

You can also capture vivid images at night, no countdown needed. Redesigned software and 50% more TPU compute make Instant Night Sight up to 4.5x faster than before, making it faster to snap a vibrant photo in low light.,, Just take the picture and enjoy the night.

Plus, you can zoom in even closer with 120x Pro Zoom on Google Pixel 11 Pro phones., It’s made possible by state-of-the-art camera hardware and sophisticated on-device models running on Google Tensor G6 that combine to process complex computational photography more quickly.

Google Tensor delivers the best of Google’s intelligence – including

innovations – to Google Pixel, putting personalized, helpful features in your hand.
