Summary
Pixel 11 introduces redesigned Quick access controls in the Google camera app, replacing older large bars with two customizable slider dials on each side of the viewfinder.
The new controls were disabled by default on tested Pixel 11 units and only appear after a screen tap, making the feature harder to discover despite offering fast adjustments and an undo button.
Google also added a Launch mode setting that opens the camera directly to still photo, video or Magic Capture, with still photo remaining the default.
The update arrives with Pixel Camera v11.0 on Pixel 11, while existing Pixel devices remain on v10.4 and may get some of the UI changes later.
