The latest version of Pixel Camera is compatible with Pixel devices running Android 14 and above, and some features may not be available on all devices. Google is using the listing to highlight exclusive features for the Pixel 8 Pro, such as 50MP High Res and Pro Controls.
The Google Camera 9.0 update, featuring a new user interface (UI) and various modes, has been leaked and is now available for Pixel phones running Android 14 Beta.

It is expected that the official release of this camera update will coincide with the launch of the Pixel 8 or stable Android 14.
