Changelog

• Includes changes to address some Call Filter app issues, like Caller ID info not being shown for missed calls, mobile number displayed twice for international calls, and number not displayed for incoming calls.

Pixel 4 Google Camera gets additional video features

Google is literally an unbeatable force when it comes to smartphone camera algorithm. While its Pixel devices deliver great photos, the same cannot be said in the case of videos. Pixel devices haven’t yet delivered the best compared to the competitors. Nonetheless, with the latest update to Google Camera on Pixel 4, Google offers new features to the users which in effect can help to capture videos a lot better than before.

According to the source, the latest update takes Google Camera to version 7.4.104. The update boards multiple video features on Google Pixel 4 series. For instance, a new zoom slider is getting introduced with the release. Users updated to the latest Google Camera will now find a zoom slider on the viewfinder while recording video. The slider can be used to digital zoom up to 8x when a video is recorded in FHD@30fps.

Also, in the pop-up menu of video mode, there are now controls that switch between resolution and frames per second. With its help, users can switch between the resolution/fps with much ease than possible earlier.

Although the update brought nifty features, the 4K@60fps support for the latest Pixel phones still is a dream that may or may not become real. Hope Google to unlock the 4K@60fps as its competitors are way ahead in the videography given some are even able to shoot at 8K.
