Google officially released the latest upgrade of the new generation Android 17 at the “The Android Show: I/O Edition 2026” event today. This time, we focus on the “creative field”. Through in-depth cooperation with Meta and Adobe, Android phones can achieve better results in taking pictures or post-production editing, even comparable to professional-grade equipment.
Android will pay tribute to the iPhone’s “double shooting” gameplay and launch the “Reaction Video” function, which allows you to record the screen and use the front lens to record yourself while scrolling through web pages and social media to record the first reaction to a surprise. This feature will be launched first on Google Pixel devices this summer.
In addition, Google has cooperated with Meta to enable Instagram’s built-in camera to support the Ultra HDR format photos of Android phones, bringing a more vivid photo performance, and the recording can support anti-shake to keep the limited-time dynamic images stable. It also incorporates the Night Sight night shooting function to ensure clear photos when taking low-light photos.
In the Edits App, Android phones can exclusively use the Smart Enhance function to improve the quality of videos and photos through AI with one click, or “Sound Separation” to effectively separate ambient sounds from human voices.
At the same time, Google officially announced that Adobe Premiere will officially launch the Android version this summer, providing exclusive templates and special effects, bringing professional-grade editing software, and can create and publish YouTube Shorts directly within the App. At the same time, on flagship phones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite chips such as Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and vivo X300 Ultra, Android will support APV (Advanced Professional Video) videos, providing a more space-efficient shooting format.
In addition to the above, Google also announced that Android 17 will bring new 3D emoticons with a more three-dimensional and realistic shape; in addition, Google announced that this year it will expand the support of “Quick Share” and Apple’s AirDrop, from Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, OPPO to OnePlus, vivo, Xiaomi, Honor and other brands. Even if they are not the above brands, you can use the QR code generated by Quick Share to connect to AirDrop devices. In addition, Google has cooperated with Apple to improve the transfer process between iOS and Android, ensuring the complete relocation of passwords, photos, messages, contacts and even desktop decorations.
