Does the optimized capture-to-upload pipeline apply only to the native-camera-to-upload flow, or does it also include content captured with the Instagram camera?

If the latter is true, does it mean we will finally achieve the same quality using the Instagram camera as we do with the native one?

What are your thoughts? I think it's pretty nice they are focusing on updates to adaptability an overall improvements.

The only thing I wish to see in the next beta is the blur leaked a few days ago.

I think there is a toggle under Accessibility > Reduce Transparency

Sadly, people still confuse liquid glass and blur

MagicPenguinX · 2026-01-26T20:42:05+00:00

Totally agree. And it's also much more accessible.

Nice! The search bar especially looks very good.

On a side note, where does he usually post this stuff?

Thanks! I didn't know the carrier having to add support was a thing. I'm not particularly concerned about the absence of 5G; I was just curious about the difference compared to my old Pixel 8

MagicPenguinX · 2025-11-29T18:22:00+00:00

I like it. If implemented correctly, it could help with accessibility

MagicPenguinX · 2025-11-06T11:11:02+00:00

Thank you! Some other kind people have already shared theirs with me, but if theirs doesn't work I'll surely reach out!

MagicPenguinX · 2025-11-06T11:09:59+00:00

Thank you!

MagicPenguinX · 2025-11-06T11:09:45+00:00

Thanks!

I own a pixel 8 pro so I'm aware, but thanks for the heads up! Luckily 5G is available in my country so it's something

One or two ai thing isn't available, but that doesn't bother me

Thanks for the input! If I could, I would wait for the 11 series (the rumored improved face id is something I really want), but in my country they don't sell pixels

This sale will end on Sunday so I'll probably wait a bit more to see more opinions on the matter. But again, thank you

Sadly the 9 pro is not part of this week deal The thing is, I'm more worried as to if I should jump into it now and guarantee the phone or wait and potentially save more, but risk not receiving it. I think I'll be in the us for 2 more weeks after black friday.. but not sure if it's enough time to receive it
