Google's new Magnifier app is available for download on the Pixel 5 and later!
The Magnifier app uses your camera "to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter."
You can change the image contrast and brightness, zoom in even further, use filters, control the flashlight intensity, and search, listen, or copy text with Google Lens.
Thanks to _better_be_me on Threads for the tip!

#News #Pixel8a
First look at Google Pixel 8a's renders
OnLeaks with SmartPrix have leaked another Pixel, this time the Pixel 8a which is a tad smaller, narrower and thinner than the 7a at 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9mm (while the Pixel 7a is 152.4 x 72.9 x 9.0mm)
The display is 6.1 inches with a center placed hole punch with thin, curved bezels and just like the Pixel 8, the design is more rounded. On the rear you have the signature Pixel camera visor with two cameras.
As other Pixels, the buttons, charging port and speaker are in their usual places, but what's surprising is that next to the speaker, there's a Ultra Wideband antenna on the top. You'll also find the SIM card slot on the left side.
Akita, the codename of the 8a features the Tensor G3 SoC and Mali-G715 GPU with 8GB of RAM and will launch with Android 14.

Google Camera 9.1 adds a "rich color in photos" toggle that lets you capture images using the Display P3 color format instead of sRGB. This setting is enabled by default on the Pixel 8 series.
Display P3 wide gamut capture is a new capability of Android 14. Devices can capture wide gamut color images in JPEG format without using 10-bit HDR.
(This screenshot was from my Pixel 6 Pro, where the setting was disabled by default.)

The Pixel 8 is the first phone to capture photos in Ultra HDR, a new format that I think could be the future of mobile photography!
Ultra HDR is something you really need to see to understand, though, so I worked with Dylan Raga to put together a demo that shows it off. The results are STUNNING!
If you're using a Chromium-based browser on a PC running Windows 11/macOS with an HDR display or on a Pixel 7 running Android 14, then you can see these Ultra HDR samples in their full glory by going to the GitHub repo linked in my latest article for Android Police.
On Wednesday, you're going to see a lot of reviews of the Pixel 8 series go up. Unfortunately, since platform support for Ultra HDR is so limited, many of those reviews will be unable to showcase the photos taken from the phone in their full glory.
Most social media sites and CMSes compress images, which will result in the HDR gain map being removed from the Ultra HDR .jpg. Even Windows File Explorer corrupts the metadata when you simply edit the EXIF tags!
Oh, and the photos I took were all from a Pixel 6 Pro using Google Camera 9.1 (pulled from a Pixel 8). This means that yes, certain older Pixels are able to capture in Ultra HDR as well.

Here's a demo of the new Magic Editor feature, but on a Pixel 7 Pro 👀
I had to back up this photo before I could use Magic Editor on it, so most of the processing is likely done on the cloud.
Also, you have to agree to Google's generative AI ToS to use this feature.
I got this feature after sideloading the latest version of Google Photos onto my Pixel 7 Pro, and also spoofing some props.
(Ignore the fact that the device frame is a Pixel 8 Pro. I don't have the phone, I just use that frame because it looks good.)
