Google Pixel 11 Pro XL quietly drops 4K60 HDR frame rate with Video Boost

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's new Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models offer 4K 60fps HDR video recording, a feature previously seen in iPhones as early as the iPhone 12 Pro. However, the Pixel's AI-powered Video Boost technology, which enhances video quality through cloud processing, silently downgrades the frame rate to 30fps during capture when 4K 60fps HDR is selected. This means that while the final output is 60fps, half of the frames are algorithmically generated rather than natively captured, potentially impacting motion accuracy for slow-motion playback. Users seeking true 4K 60fps HDR recording are advised to disable Video Boost. AI

IMPACT Users seeking high-fidelity video capture may need to disable AI-enhanced features, highlighting a trade-off between AI processing and native data capture.
