The Google Pixel 11 series is expected to introduce significant upgrades to its Night Sight feature with the addition of Video Boost, which eliminates the need for cloud-based processing.
According to Android Authority, the Pixel 11 may include an Ultra Low Light video mode that allows for direct on-device processing, enabling users to capture high-quality videos in low-light conditions without requiring an internet connection.
On-Device Night Sight Video Processing
Kamila Wojiechowska’s report highlights that the Pixel 11’s Night Sight video feature will support on-device processing in dim lighting, ensuring improved video quality at night without delays from cloud processing. This advancement is anticipated to make night video recording faster and more efficient.
Enhanced Cinematic Blur with 4K Support
The Cinematic Blur feature is also expected to receive upgrades, including support for 4K at 30 fps and a new video relight function for customizable lighting adjustments.
Additionally, the Tensor G6 chip’s Cinematic Rendering Engine is designed to reduce power consumption by 40% during video recording with blur effects, enhancing energy efficiency.
Expected Features of Google Pixel 11
Powered by the Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 11 is likely to include advanced AI features for enhanced photography and videography, such as:
- Video Generative ML: Streamlines video editing in the Photos app and potentially in YouTube Shorts.
- Up to 100x Zoom: Expected to support machine learning-enhanced zoom capabilities up to 100x, with new telephoto camera hardware to improve zoom quality.
- 4K Video Recording at 60 fps: A significant upgrade, allowing for high-quality video capture compared to previous models.
- Ultra Low Light Video Mode: Designed for very low-light environments (5-10 lux), this feature will enable effective video recording in dim conditions with new camera hardware for optimal performance.
- Always-On Machine Learning Features: Anticipated to provide continuous health monitoring.
- Health Monitoring Tools: Expected to detect breathing irregularities, coughs, and sleep stages, enhancing personal health tracking.
- Activity Tracking for Runners: The Running ML tools will provide insights such as “coachable pace” and “balance & oscillation” analysis, tailored specifically for runners.
- Emergency Sound Event Detection: This feature will enhance safety by monitoring and detecting specific emergency sounds, alerting users as necessary.
As the launch approaches next year, further information about these features is expected in the upcoming Pixel 10 series.
