The latest Google Camera update hides more features in its 7.2 version. The camera app of the Pixel smartphones, in addition to adding the astrophotography mode, also launches new features with new Google Lens suggestions.

Google Camera : Scan, copy and translate texts
Google Camera 7.2 now allows us to scan, copy and translate texts. Google Lens will suggest the option to Scan document. Clicking on the suggestion will take a photo and adjust the corners of the document automatically, although we can adjust them manually. Then it will allow us to share the document or save it in a PDF.
