These two handsets are the first Pixel phones to support Magic Editor, a new photo trickery feature that lets you apply a variety of effects with a single tap-effects that would’ve previously needed a computer, Photoshop, and a lot of time and skill. With the launch of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones though, the AI capabilities leveled up. AI has long played an important role in Google Photos, doing everything from grouping images by the people in them, to brightening up dark spots. This phenomenon includes the excellent Google Photos app.
If you’ve followed the tech headlines in recent months, you’ve likely noticed the influx of artificial intelligence features and tools appearing inside many of our apps and gadgets. Magic Editor is now available on selected Pixel phones.
