How we built the Pixel Camera Bar

Three Pixel phones in a row. Each one has its back to the camera, showing their camera bars.

Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro introduced an all-metal camera bar design with the pill- and circle-shaped camera glass.

Pixel Fold’s Camera Bar lives inside its own casing element instead of spanning the full width of the phone, like the camera bar does on other Pixel phones. Because of how Pixel Fold opens, this gives it a more visually balanced look.
