In a revolutionary stance in the tech world, Google has teased and hinted that the upcoming Pixel smartphone Pixel 4 would feature gestures, night time camera enhancements, and an astrophotography mode.

The one-minute promo video puts particular emphasis on night-time camera capabilities and also on some new Google Assistant features, allowing Pixel 4 owners to fully control Google Photos with just voice controls, The Verge reported on Monday.

The device would feature a new Motion Mode for action scenes, an enhanced Night Sight feature and would offer 8x zoom. Motion Mode will enable users to capture high-quality action shots with bokeh, The Verge reported on Friday.

The Night Sight feature would include speed-related enhancements, allowing the phone to take better pictures at night. For 8x zoom, it is unclear whether the camera would feature optical zoom or a combination of both optical and digital.

Internet Search engine giant Google is expected to refresh its Pixel series with the launch of the two smartphones later in October.
