TL;DR
- Google Camera v 10.2 ports the panorama interface from Pixel 9 and 10 to Pixel 8.
- The updated interface offers improved guidance during capturing.
- Pixel 7 and older still have the older interface, even with the latest Pixel Camera update.
Google debuted an updated panorama camera mode on the Pixel 9 that guides users through the process of creating a panorama shot using an intuitive AR-style interface. The feature had been exclusive to Pixel 9 and 10 until this week, but it’s now available on Pixel 8, too.
As spotted by 9to5Google, the latest version of the Pixel Camera app adds the new and improved panorama mode to Pixel 8 series phones. Pixel 7 and older can also take panorama shots, but they do not currently have access to the updated UI introduced on Pixel 9 last year.
