"Pixel 8 Pro: Reviving Ultrawide Astrophotography with Stellar Support"

Google Camera is bringing back ultrawide astrophotography, but only on the Pixel 8 Pro. The feature was initially introduced in the Pixel 4 and later expanded to the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. However, it was removed in subsequent Pixel devices. Now, with the Pixel 8 Pro, users can take ultrawide astrophotography shots by triggering the astrophotography mode and selecting the 0.5x option. This is likely due to the Pixel 8 Pro using a different hardware sensor for the ultrawide camera.
