Ever since the release of the Pixel 6 with Google's Tensor chipset, the company has decided to put AI on the front of their phones. Instead of delivering raw performance, the latest Pixel phones rely on AI to complete a lot of tasks, and honestly, things do work really well. Take Pixel 7's Photo Unblur tool, which uses AI to ensure that our sometimes blurry pictures end up looking better than ever. Now, the same tool could become more powerful in the form of Video Unblur, which might be coming to Google's upcoming Pixel 8, which is supposedly bringing a third generation of AI-powered Tensor chipset.

Video Unblur could possibly be exclusive to Pixel 8 phones due to hardware limitations on older Pixel devices

Our friends over at 9to5Google force-enabled the UI for Video Unblur. However, at the time of writing, the feature does not do the job it is supposed to do, which is understandable since Google could still be working on improving this feature, and well, Pixel 8 is not going to be out any time soon.

Still, you can see how the UI looks in the screenshot below:

As you can see, the Video Unblur UI, despite being enabled, still looks incomplete. It is safe to say that Google is working on it, and it could be ready in time for the Pixel 8 launch. This also makes us wonder whether this feature will be available on the older Pixel 7 phones or not. The reason is simple, Photo Unblur was exclusive only to the Pixel 7 phones due to the feature being tied to Tensor G2. This gives us a strong reason to believe that Video Unblur could be limited to the Pixel 8 series when it eventually comes out. However, currently, we cannot confirm.

As far as the Pixel 8 series is concerned, both phones recently leaked showing flat displays, with the younger sibling being more rounded off and chunky camera bumps on both phones. The phones will officially be unveiled at the Google I/O 2023 on May 10th and should make their official debut sometime later this year.

The Pixel 8's Video Unblur shows the potential that the Tensor G3 could bring to the table. At the moment, we know little about the processor besides the fact that it could be a modified version of the unreleased Exynos 2300, but we will not be able to confirm this rumor until we have more details about what Google has in stores for us. Let us know what you think about the new Pixel phones launching this year, including the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a, in the comments below.
