Google’s best new camera feature is only for the Pixel 11 series

Arguably the coolest new photo feature for the Pixel 11 lineup is Google’s new Camera Looks, which process image data differently at the sensor level to produce photos that don’t have that “smartphone” look. The result is new styles like “Digi,” which mimics the style of photos taken by older digital cameras. But to use Camera Looks, at least initially, you’ll need to have one of Google’s Pixel 11 phones.

“Our latest camera updates are only available on our latest devices,” Google spokesperson Alex Moriconi tells The Verge. “We’re always looking to bring experiences to more users, but have nothing to share at this time.” That last sentence leaves some wiggle room for Camera Looks to come to older Pixel phones at some point in the future, though it’s unclear if or when that might actually happen.

If you want to learn more about how the Camera Looks feature works, check out David’s big article, which features an interview with Isaac Reynolds, the head of the Pixel camera team.
