Google Pixel's Video Boost may have become smarter, but your storage won't love it

Google’s Pixel 8 Pro, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL are stepping up as heavy hitters in the smartphone photo and video race. One of the coolest upgrades in the mix is Video Boost, a feature that taps into Google’s powerhouse data centers and AI smarts to seriously boost your video quality. There's a catch, though: you need to manually flip it on before every recording, which is a total pain. But now, it looks like Google is reworking how Video Boost operates on Pixels, hopefully making it way less of a hassle.
