- A leaker has posted examples of Google Pixel pro camera controls working on the Pixel 7 Pro.
- Technically, these controls should only work on the Pixel 8 Pro, which has them as an exclusive.
- This proves that Google could bring pro controls to other Pixels if it wants to.
The Google Pixel 8 Pro launched last week. It has many exclusive features, including Video Boost and 5x optical zoom. It also comes with a first for any Pixel phone: professional camera controls. Interestingly, this feature is not scheduled to come to any other Pixel, not even the regular Pixel 8.
When we asked Google if these Google Pixel pro camera controls would come to other Pixels, it told us it would take a wait-and-see approach. However, frequent leaker (and sometimes Android Authority contributor) Kamila Wojciechowska took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to prove that nothing is stopping Google from sending pro controls to other Pixel phones.
