Your older Pixel phone just got a performance and camera boost thanks to Google’s new software update

• The Pixel Camera is getting an update to version 9.8

• Extra options and performance upgrades are included

Google has been busy pushing out software updates for its Pixel phones and Pixel watches in recent days, and we’ve got a couple more updates to report on – including a low-level upgrade that should boost performance on older Pixel handsets.

First though, Google is updating the Pixel Camera app (via 9to5Google), with the latest version 9.8 now arriving on compatible devices – which is all Pixel-branded phones, as well as the Google Pixel Tablet.
