Google Pixel 9 Smartphone Support
So, just as we saw when Blackmagic first announced Blackmagic Camera, the company has been slowly rolling out new support devices for both Android and iOS devices as the app is now usable by most Android smartphones as well as iPads now.
This latest update expands support to the Google Pixel 9, Google Pixel 9 Pro, and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL—Google’s latest Pixel smartphone and its most powerful one yet. Powered by Google’s brand new Tensor G4 chip, the Pixel 9 itself features a huge upgrade from the ultrawide lens as it has been expanded from 12MP on the Pixel 8 to 48MP on the Pixel 9.
Suffice it to say, if you’re interested in the Google Pixel 9 for video, the Blackmagic Camera app—which is free—would certainly be worth trying out.
