Google is rolling out a new update for the Pixel Camera app, and while it doesn’t bring major new features, it does simplify the name of the zoom feature on Pixel 10 Pro models.
As first spotted by 9to5Google, Google is rolling out the Pixel Camera app version 10.3 for Pixel phones. The update does not introduce any major UI changes or new features, but the publication noticed that Google has quietly renamed the zoom feature on Pixel 10 Pro models.
When Google launched the Pixel 10 Pro series last year, it introduced an AI-powered 100x zoom feature called Pro Res Zoom. While the Pixel 9 series previously supported up to 30x zoom, the Pixel 10 Pro models increased that to 100x using AI.

Google originally called this feature Pro Res Zoom on Pixel 10 Pro phones, but the company is now renaming it to simply Pro Zoom with the latest Pixel Camera update.
According to the report, the new name appears in Settings > Model download page as well as on the camera help page for the phones. Google has also updated the name on the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL listings in the Google Store.
Android Central’s take
It’s interesting that Google decided to rename the feature now. Honestly, Pro Zoom probably should have been the name from the beginning.
Pixel Camera version 10.3 first appeared with the Pixel 10a that launched earlier this month and is now rolling out to other Pixel phones as well. You will need to update the app to see the change in your Pixel Camera interface.
It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the only camera-related change that Google is rolling out this month. In addition to the 10.3 version of the Pixel Camera app, the Android 16 QPR3 update released earlier this month also fixed a camera crash bug that was reportedly affecting Pixel 9 and newer devices.
