The feature is powered by Video Boost, the same cloud-assisted pipeline that’s stayed a Pro-only perk since the Pixel 8 Pro. Magic Capture grabs a photo and a video from one shutter press, then auto-crops and sharpens the still, while Live Translate works on video playback too, not just phone calls. Moreover, the Pixel 11 series is now a much better smartphone for recording videos, vlogs, handheld documentaries, or recording memories.
