Google Pixel Camera app will integrate external microphones  soon!

Google has launched its pixel camera application for smartphones. No doubt, by doing so, it has captured the attention of various users. To make pixel app fancy, Google has announced the incorporation of an external microphone for shooting videos. Pixel’s app engineering team has confirmed this latest add-on. Also, Android police confirmed the news in a report on Friday. Google Pixel is set to focus on a versatile category of objects. After balancing the video and photography feature so well, we wonder, why is there a need to get this external microphone feature rolling? Well, the prime reason behind the immediate integration of external microphone is the distorted audio recording via built-in microphones. Google says that the incorporation of external microphones would be an ultimate solution for the above-said problem. External microphones would be portable and could be easily injected in USB-C ports and headset jacks, Google added. There are some third parties like Android camera applications who introduced Open cameras with the flexibility to add external microphones for video recordings. For now, Google pixel app is best to use for photography. But, to ensure robust video shooting, it is better for the Pixel app to have its own android compatible external microphones. This should be done to ensure that people who are android users can best utilize the pixel app for video shooting. Also, this feature would significantly facilitate the Vloggers and video content generators, helping them work more rigorously, without switching to different platforms. This latest external microphone add-on will be available on the official retail launch of Google Pixel 3,  which is expected to be held on 18th October 2018.
“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,”
Google app engineer stated on Google forum. Shure and Apogee are the famous external microphones designed for the iOS platform. Also, the incorporation of external microphones with pixel camera app is competitive. However, Google is firmly determined to secure success on this latest add-on release. We are waiting to see what comes up next! Share your reviews and stay tuned for more updates!
