See Pixel 10 Pro's new zoom tech in action
Ever seen something cool, but couldn’t quite get a photo because it was so far away? It’s a scenario I find myself in too often, and it’s exactly why we built Pro Res Zoom on Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL.
While you can already capture impressive detail at up to 30x with Super Res Zoom on Pixel 9 Pro, sometimes there are moments that demand even more range — like spotting wildlife in the distance.
Before Pro Res Zoom, that egret was barely a speck on the shore. Now, with a clear photo at 100x zoom, I’m up close and personal and can see it with stunning detail.
And check out these shots of some deer I spotted!
Here’s the scene taken with the ultrawide camera where you can just barely see a deer in the distance.
Let’s get a little closer with wide camera at 1x on Pixel 10 Pro XL…
Then transition to 2x optical equivalent using Super Res Zoom…
Then transition to 5x tele camera…
Then transition to 10x Super Res Zoom and get even closer.
But I still need to get closer, so let’s head into Pro Res Zoom range. Here’s what he looks like before Pro Res Zoom is applied…
And here he is after, in all his glory.
Our pal is clearly posing and ready for his close up, so let’s use Pro Res Zoom to get in even closer at 100x. Here’s the before…
And here’s the final, 100x Pro Res Zoom-processed photo! Perfect if this deer needs a new profile photo.
This isn't just cropping. We fine-tuned Pro Res Zoom to leverage the power of the Tensor G5 chip, running a cutting-edge single-step diffusion model entirely on-device in just seconds. This complex, Al-powered process intelligently removes noise and sharpens your image, considering both individual pixels and the larger scene.

Instead of just using a magnifying glass to look at a blurry, distant photo (similar to traditional digital zoom), Pro Res Zoom uses the few details that are there, like shapes and colors, and then fills in the rest of the missing information, creating a new, much clearer image.

This process uses a combination of the camera's captured data and generative AI to extrapolate details that the camera sensor couldn't physically capture on its own, resulting in some truly stunning shots.
