Newest Google Camera 8.1 brings Pixel 5 features to older Pixel smartphones
The Google Camera 8.0 app has so far been exclusive to the Pixel 5. Some found it possible to download the new version of the Google Camera app on older Pixel phones, but the process was not that straightforward and required a factory reset.
