The Google Camera app is undergoing a major user interface overhaul on the Pixel 8 series


One of the best parts of the Google Pixel 7 is undoubtedly its camera. While the hardware sometimes outperforms other superior camera phones, Google has still delivered impressive results, thanks in part to the Google Camera app. While it's still amazing software, it's faltered a bit in recent years: the user interface has remained virtually unchanged since the Pixel 4 launched in 2019.

A source connected to Android Authority has shared screenshots of the new Google Camera interface redesign, which is expected to launch with the upcoming Pixel 8 lineup in the fall. The last major design overhaul was in 2019, so it's worth seeing what Google has in store for Pixel users.

The first thing that strikes you is the clear separation between photo and video mode. A special toggle at the bottom of the app lets you choose whether to take a photo or a video. Only then can you select the appropriate mode in the carousel. Previously, all modes in Rolodex were mixed.

Switch button toggled between front and back camera with preview of last photo (also shortcut for gallery). It's now compatible with most third-party Android camera apps, but Pixel users will take some getting used to.


The additional settings menu opens with a swipe from the bottom of the viewfinder, but doesn't seem to be accessible if you're using the larger Pro model

Finally, Google cleaned up some camera modes and consolidated others. Google may plan to encourage more user interaction with certain modalities such as long exposure and action panorama.

Google is also working on a new feature called Staggered HDR, which aims to speed up the recording process and minimize artifacts. Achieves performance with shorter time between frames. The Adaptive Torch feature allows the software to dynamically adjust flash intensity based on ambient light.There's also AWB segmentation, which applies differentiated processing to different areas of the image to make it look more realistic.
