And this sixth iteration probably boasts of the best-designed Pixel to date. Furthermore, there is a truckload of impressive photo-editing features that are designed exclusively for these sets of devices. In this regard, the one that managed to generate the maximum amount of hype has to be Magic Eraser. For the unaware, this feature allows you to delete/remove any unwanted object or distractions from the image in just a few taps.
However, there were a few elements of doubt regarding the availability of these camera tweaks on other Pixel devices. Many have debated that these features will strictly be limited to Pixel devices that run the in-house Tensor chipset (aka Pixel 6 and newer devices).
