FULL STORY
======================================================================

One thing that Google arguably does better than any other phone maker is AI, 
and this is used to great effect by the companys cameras. In the past, weve 
seen how AI can remove unwanted people and objects from scenes with Magic 
Eraser , but with the Google Pixel 8 the company looks to have a new  and 
slightly creepy  AI trick up its sleeve. 

Leaker @MysteryLupin (via The Verge ) has shared a new video advert for the 
Pixel 8 line, which starts by showing how easy it is to switch to Pixel, but 
then moves on to photography features, with the most eye-catching being Best 
Take. 

This feature  which has been mentioned in a previous leak but only now shown 
in action  snaps multiple photos and combines them to create the best 
possible composite image. Switch to Pixel - Pixel 8 (Pro)

Now, composite images arent a new idea  you can use them to create HDR shots 
for example. But here its not combining different exposures, its swapping out 
facial expressions, poses, and other aspects to make something of a 
Frankensteins monster, albeit one that might look a lot better than any of 
the individual photos. 

Most of the other things in this clip are existing features, though we do 
catch another glimpse of the now extensively leaked and teased Pixel 8 Pro .

And this isnt the only recent Pixel 8 leak, as leaker @Za_Raczke has also 
taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to show off a selection of what 
appears to be official Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro cases. 

In the case of the Pixel 8 these will apparently be available in Rose, Mint, 
Charcoal, and Hazel colors, while the Pixel 8 Pros cases are said to come in 
Bay, Charcoal, Mint, and Porcelain shades. 

These are different to the shades were expecting from the phones themselves, 
with the Pixel 8 previously rumored to come in Haze, Jade, Licorice, and 
Peony shades, while the Pixel 8 Pro will reportedly come in Sky, Porcelain, 
and Licorice colors. 

Well know all the official colors and everything else about the Pixel 8 line 
soon, because these phones are set to land on October 4 . TechRadar will
