Alphabet-owned Google has confirmed that Zoom Enhance is available on the Pixel 8 Pro and will be present on the Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold at launch.
Previously, Google announced the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Zoom Enhance at the Made by Google event, but it has made its way to a new generation of smartphones, and only now is the software feature ready to launch.
Shedding light on the details of the feature, Google's Hardware Chief Rick Osterloh said: “When you pinch in, Zoom Enhance can intelligently sharpen and enhance the details of your images, so you can get closer than ever, even when you forget to zoom."

Google explained: “Zoom Enhance intelligently fills in the gaps between pixels and predicts fine details for high-quality, post-capture zoom results. It will be offered on Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and is releasing to Pixel 8 Pro starting today.”
Zoom Enhance combines plenty of new camera software tricks coming to Google’s new Pixels — such as Add Me, Reimagine in Magic Editor, and more — and currently, all of them will be offered when the phones ship.
