    These Google Camera 9.0 UI changes are bringing back bad Pixel 3 memories.

    Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the old phones’ pill-shaped navigation UI, but this Google Camera 9.0 update 9to5Google reports is rolling out to beta Pixels looks... kinda bad? There even seems to be slightly less viewfinder space. Also, it requires Android 14, so maybe there’s something to rumors of a camera revamp coming with the Pixel 8.

    I do love the Ice Cream Sandwich-era vibes of that cyan highlight color, but that might just be Material You theming at work.
