Foldable device expansion:
You can now take advantage of the bigger unfolded screen to view the world around you in even more detail.
Use your camera to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter. Search for words before or after you take a picture to find what you need on a menu, a departure board, or anything containing text. Apply visual effects to make low contrast text more visible. In low light environments brightness is automatically adjusted. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need.
Get started:
1. Download Magnifier from the Play Store.
2. (Optional) Set up Magnifier to easily open via Quick tap:
a. Open your phone's Settings app.
b. Go to System > Gestures > Quick tap.
c. Turn on Use Quick tap.
d. Choose open app. Next to "Open app," tap Settings. Then select Magnifier.
e. To open Magnifier, tap twice on the back of your phone.
Magnifier requires Pixel 5 or later model.
Functions easily as hoped (magnifier). Nicely surprised by bonus features of color reading/viewing filters and adjustable 'flashlight' intensity. Am familiar with intent/value of color filters, though haven't fully fiddled with such. Adjustable light intensity just seems 'cool', so need to test more. Thanks.

Extremely useful app. I have this on my Pixel lock screen. This little app has so many uses!

Marginally better than the camera app because of filters like those that increase contrast. Not entirely sure that it's worth it though unless you have specific vision problems. Good for what it is I guess.
