Google introduced a new underwater camera mode in the recent Pixel Drop update for the Pixel 9 series.
The feature uses software optimizations to enhance photos and videos captured underwater.
Previously, underwater enhancements were available on the Pixel 7 series, but the recent update extends this feature to the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold with any underwater case.
Users no longer need expensive diver-quality cases to access the underwater mode's optimizations.
