A recent leak has shed light on Google's plans for its upcoming Pixel 10 and 11 smartphones, and it's exciting news for photography enthusiasts. According to leaked documents seen by Android Authority, the new devices will boast advanced AI-powered camera capabilities, including a significant upgrade to the Pixel's low-light video recording feature.

The Pixel 11 is rumored to feature an "Ultra Low Light video" mode, which will utilize a more advanced Tensor chip to brighten up videos shot in dark environments. This builds upon the existing Video Boost with Night Sight feature, which uses AI to adjust exposure, stabilize, and reduce graininess in low-light videos.

The Pixel 10, on the other hand, is expected to come with an upgraded Tensor G5 chip, powering features like "Video Generative ML" for AI-powered video editing in the Photos app, as well as a "Sketch-to-Image" capability that can turn drawings into images using AI. Other rumored features include a "Speak-to-Tweak" editing tool and a "Magic Mirror" feature, although details on these are scarce.

The leak also suggests that the Pixel 10 will support recording video in 4K HDR at 60 frames per second, a significant upgrade from the current 30 frames per second limit on the Pixel 9.

While there's still time for these plans to change, the leak provides a glimpse into Google's ambitions to push the boundaries of smartphone camera technology. With the Pixel 10 expected to launch in the second half of next year and the Pixel 11 likely to follow in 2026, photography enthusiasts and tech enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting these AI-powered upgrades.
