The Google Pixel 8 Pro has had as much marketing emphasis on its AI photo editing as it has on the actual camera hardware, or any of its other features. On-phone editing for photos isn't new, but Google's got some exclusive features that other phones can't match, which could be a key part of your next phone-buying decision.
After taking the Pixel 8 Pro out to gather some photos, I've spent time trying to edit them with all of Google's brand new AI editing abilities like Magic Editor and Best Take, as well as existing options like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur. Throughout the whole process, I was very impressed at how Google made making complex edits easy through AI automation, but also raised an eyebrow more than once at how the phone treated some requests.
