Google leak teases major Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 updates thanks to AI.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Google Pixel 9 may only be a couple of months old, but thats more than
old enough for us to start getting excited about the Google Pixel 10 , and even Pixel 11 phones with new leaks for the Google devices teasing some big updates to its AI photo and video capabilities.

This comes via Android Authority who claim to have seen credible documents that have leaked from Googles gChips division the team that works on its chipsets like the Tensor G4 found in the Google Pixel 9 revealing elements
of the Pixel 10s Tensor G5 capabilities

Some of the details are still vague but the two most exciting are the so-called Video Generative ML feature which is described as post-capture AI-based video editing which should let you use AI to edit your videos more easily in the Photos app, and a Speak-to-Tweak tool which sounds like itll
let you edit snaps by describing the changes.

Its not just these though. A Sketch-to-Image function might mimic a similar tool in Samsungs Galaxy AI in which you draw a quick addition to a photo which the AI then transforms into a realistic-looking addition and lastly, theres a Magic Mirror tool. It sounds like it would be some kind of selfie-altering AI trickery perhaps like the filters you find on Snapchat
and the like however the leaked documents dont share specifics. 100x zoom coming to the Pixel 11? Get read for major Pixel Camera updates (Image

The leaked documents go on to tease Google Pixel 11 camera upgrades which
will come via its G6 chip. A standout is that using machine learning the Google Pixel 11 may be able to offer 100x zoom in photos and videos, and new Ultra Low Light video processing on device rather than relying on the cloud like a version of the feature currently does.

As with all leaks particularly these teasing a phone that's almost two years from launch take them with a pinch of salt. Even if the leaks do represent Google's plans right now for the Pixel 10 and 11, development changes between now and launch could mean that the software we get when the phones release wont offer all these tools.

These leaks further concerns that phone camera snaps are becoming less real. Obviously, there are the big alterations that would come from Speak-to-Tweak and Sketch-to-Image to add and alter elements of photos and videos, but even the machine learning reliant 100x zoom tool will raise concern for purists assuming there are no significant camera hardware changes.

Even though the picture would be of something real the AI would have to fill in so many missing details to make it not look blurry that the end result would be almost as fake as any other AI image. At the same time, it is still capturing the essence of something genuine, and that may be enough for most users.

Well have to wait and see how folks react if and when these features are officially released. You might also like Google Pixel 9a leak teases a larger screen than previous model Google Pixel 10 series codenames leak, and it's
