Portrait Mode Is Now Coming To Chrome OS

Smartphones have had a Portrait Mode since Apple introduced this in the year 2016 and then followed by other phones since. Google has now decided to offer the feature on Chrome OS devices too. Google Pixel Slate has now got this feature and it is been worked on to offer it to other Chromebooks. For those people who own Chromebooks and Chrome OS tablets and like to take pictures then this might be a good feature to have.

The Portrait Mode feature won’t be offered on every product because of the lower-end devices and low-quality cameras that won’t work that good with this. The feature used to be added with dual cameras when it was first released but these days it is also used in single-camera portrait modes such as the (Pixel series).
