Google Pixel 4 Dual Exposure And Live HDR+ Features Won't Land on Older Pixel Phones

Google Google Pixel 4 and Google Pixel 4 XL will be the only two Pixel phones to get the Dual Exposure Control and Live HDR+ features, for the time being, and these features will not be available in older Pixel devices. The confirmation of the same was made by tech-giant in a reply to a customer's tweet. The Dual Exposure Controls help users adjust highlights and shadows correctly with the help of viewfinder, while the Live HDR+ gives users a live preview of what the photo will look like when the Google's HDR processing is applied.

It is quite likely that the "low-level capabilities in the hardware" that Google has referred to in its tweet involve the Pixel 4's latest Pixel Neural Core co-processor. Google has already unveiled a bunch of new Pixel camera features including the astrophotography mode that will also be made available on older Pixel devices. On the other hand, despite the addition of exclusive add-ons, the latest Pixel smartphones won’t be able to capture 4K video at 60fps (frames per second).
