It was noted to once let Android Wear call the shots, do Smart Burst, disable sounds, add flash to selfie cam, Portrait Mode, 4K video support to non-Google phones, wide-angle sensors on LG smartphones, HDR+, get a new UI, Night Sight, Tracking Autofocus, Motion Metering, aperture switching to Samsung devices, and telephoto lens. Most of these features were made available first on Pixel phones but also rolled out to other Android phones.
