2.Google Pixel 9 Pro
We’re not sure why it’s so hard to find cameras that film 8K when phones can do the trick. Or, at least, do a trick. Google’s AI-addled handset includes Video Boost, which does some interpolation magic to upscale your shots to full 8K when you desire it. The results are pure wizardry – and the phone itself isn’t half bad either.£999/$949,store.google.com
