Google Rolls Out Pixel Camera 10.2, Restoring Brightness‑First Quick Access Sliders

The release restores the prior slider order reversed by October's Material 3 redesign.

Overview

  • Version 10.2 returns the sliders to brightness first followed by shadows and brings back the earlier visual styling.
  • Quick access controls place white balance, brightness, and shadows sliders at the edges of the viewfinder for faster exposure tweaks.
  • The change reverses Pixel Camera 10.1’s shift that put shadows in the primary position and adjusted the drag‑handle icons.
  • Google lists general camera stability improvements under certain conditions for devices from Pixel 9 through Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
  • Build 10.2.095.834499094.08 is rolling out in stages and is not yet widely available on the Play Store.
