Android 9 “Pie” has been unveiled. Following in Apple’s footsteps, Android is adding HEIF photo support that improves the compression of photo files to reduce the amount of storage space they take up. Other photo-related features include multi-camera support (developers can tap into 2+ camera streams for things like depth and bokeh) and external camera support (the use of USB/UVC cameras).
