Steps to use:

1. Install Magisk, LSPosed Or EdXposed.
2. Install the apk of this app (available from Releases page.)
3. Open LSPosed / EdXposed app and enable the module. For LSPosed, Google Photos will be automatically selected.
4. Reboot. Enjoy. (If needed, you might need to clear data of Google Photos app).

How does this module work?

It simply hooks on to hasSystemFeature() method under android.app.ApplicationPackageManager class. Then when Google Photos checks the relevant features which are expected only on Pixel devices, the module passes true. Thus Google Photos enables Pixel-Exclusive features.
The features being "spoofed" can be found from:
Dot OS sources
PixelFeatureDrops magisk module
This module can also spoof some of the build.prop information like BRAND, MANUFACTURER, MODEL, FINGERPRINT of some Pixel devices.
