- The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL feature improved Video Boost technology, faster video rendering, and the ability to zoom up to 20x without losing video quality.
- The phones also introduce AI-powered 8K upscaling for 4K videos, which also enables users to extract high-quality 30MP still images directly from videos.
- However, Google has confirmed to Android Authority that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold doesn’t get 8K Video Boost or Super Res Zoom Video.
When Google released the Pixel 8 Pro in 2023, one of the major upgrades to video recording came from a feature called Video Boost. This feature enabled you to take higher quality videos leveraging Google’s AI, including the ability to shoot in low light conditions and yet capture clear footage without grainy spots or blurred details. Google has now taken this feature to the next level with the Pixel 9 series, specifically the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.
Both devices boast improved video rendering that’s twice as fast as before, but the improvements don’t stop there. Google has enhanced the Video Boost capabilities of these devices to ensure that you can capture crystal-clear footage even in the most challenging lighting conditions.
