Google says it plans to introduce support for external microphones for its line of Pixel phones.
This will allow those shooting video to capture higher-quality audio to accompany their visuals.
The feature will work with USB-C ports (Pixel 2, 3) and 3.5mm jacks (Pixel).
The company confirmed the update in its forums, stating:
“At the same time as Pixel 3 launch (October 18th), we will introduce support for Android-compatible plugged-in external microphones in the default camera app for all Pixels.”
Other Android camera apps have supported this feature for some time, but not the main Pixel camera app.
Pixel owners can expect to see their app update with the new tool in the next few days.
