A source related to Android authority Shared screenshots of the new Google Camera UI redesign, which will likely be introduced with the upcoming Pixel 8 lineup this fall. The last major design overhaul was in 2019, so it’s interesting to see what Google has in store for its Pixel users.
The first thing to note is the clear separation between Photo and Video modes. A dedicated toggle at the bottom of the app lets you choose whether you want to take a photo or record a video. Only then can you choose the corresponding mode from the carousel. Previously, all modes were mixed in the rolodex.

The toggle button between the front and back cameras swapped places with the last photo preview (also a shortcut to the Gallery). It’s now in line with most other manufacturers’ Android camera apps, but it will take some getting used to for Pixel users.
The additional settings menu appears after swiping up from the bottom of the viewfinder, but it doesn’t appear to be within reach of your thumb if you’re using the larger Pro model.

Finally, Google has changed the order of some of the camera modes and grouped others. Perhaps Google intends to encourage users to interact more with some of the modes, such as Long Exposure and Action Pan.

Additionally, Google is working on a new feature called Staggered HDR, which aims to speed up the capture process and minimize artifacts. Achieves efficiency with reduced time between frames. The Adaptive Torch feature allows the software to dynamically adjust flash intensity based on the lighting environment. And then there’s the Segmentation AWB feature which applies variable processing to different areas of the image to make it more realistic.
