Here’s what Pixel 5 photos look like underwater [Gallery]

This week, as part of the March Pixel Feature Drop, Google launched in-depth integration between Pixel phones and an underwater photo bag. Now Google has shared a first look at some photos of underwater life as taken on the Pixel 5.

Thanks to the new Dive Case Connector app, it’s easier than ever to take photos with the Google Camera app on your Pixel phone with the controls included on Kraken Sports’ underwater photography cases.

The promise of taking photos underwater sounds incredible, especially since beaches and other public areas will reopen properly in many areas this year. However, not everyone will be willing to give up more than $ 300 for a case, just from the assurance of Google that the results are worth it.

To help persuade potential buyers, Made by Google taken to Twitter to share examples of exactly what you can expect from photos taken with a Pixel 5 while underwater.

Although the images do not have nearly the full resolution, the results are still absolutely stunning, as they were taken with a smartphone rather than any special camera equipment.

As noted in the footnote of each photo, the underwater photos on display today were all taken with the Pixel 5 using the Kraken KRH03 or KRH04 universal case. That said, the case should fit on any Pixel phone and the connectivity app works with all Pixel phones on Android 11 or later, including the Pixel 2.

What do you think of these preliminary recordings from the Pixel series’ newfound ability to take sharp, underwater photos safely and easily? Would you buy a Kraken case? Let us know in the comments.
