Google Photos brings Real Tone filters to more Android devices
Google’s Real Tone photo processing technology lets people use real tone as a filter matching the overall lighting with specific skin tones to create a more accurate photo. It was introduced and limited to Pixel 6 users and is now expanding to more users.
On May 24, Google officially announced that the new Real Tone filters in Google Photos have started rolling out to Android, iOS, and web users. This filter is designed by professional image-makers to work well across skin tones. Now everyone can choose the filter that reflects their style.

When you select any of these four filters, you will see a “Made with Real Tone” badge in the editing screen which includes additional sliders and settings to tweak the enhancements. These Real Tone filters can also adjust photos that users have taken previously to better reflect their skin tone.
Other than this, the US tech giant is also releasing enhanced support for skin tones through the Google lens. When you search for images such as “bridal makeup look”, Google Search will automatically show a handful of tone options on applicable searches.

Google is set to launch Android 14 and Pixel 8 series on October 4, according to a Canadian carrier. Telus says the new OS update will be available for Pixel 4a and above models, while the Pixel 4a will not get it as the smartphone was never eligible for Android 14. The update date may change and take some weeks to reach all devices.
Android 14 is not a major release like Android 12, which introduced Material You design. It is unclear why Google is delaying the stable release until October when it usually comes out in September. The last time Google did this was with Android 12 and Pixel 6 in 2021.
However, Google has already released Android 14 Beta 5.3 on September 6 and started testing Android 14 QPR1, which is expected to launch in December 2023. Existing Pixel owners will have something new to try on the same day as the Pixel 8 announcement.
