Testing the Pixel’s Super Res Zoom and an Actual Telephoto Lens
All of the Pixel 3 and 3a phones have a feature called Super Res Zoom. This is one of Google’s many A.I. features they brag about and I wanted to see how well it did in the real world. To test this, I took the same photo 4 times.

Not so pretty right? Well here’s Google’s much lauded Night Sight doing its best:

Other Uses for Night Sight Photos
I'm a big fan of Night Sight mode on the Pixel line of phones. Qualms about it being a separate mode or making scenes look different from how they look to the naked eye are fine, but as an additive mode to all the normal photo modes on Pixels, I'm still

How Good is the Google Pixel’s Camera?
I’ve said on many occasions that I think the Google Pixel 2/3/3a have amazing cameras and they get shots that I really enjoy most of the time. Not only that, they get photos, usually at night, that I simply can’t get with my iPhone. But here’s an anecdote that made

Why I Personally Prefer the iPhone XS Camera Over the Pixel 2
The Pixel 2 is a very good smartphone, and it’s biggest asset is its camera. Seriously, only a fool would argue that Google’s flagship phone doesn’t have what it takes to compete with the the best of the best phone cameras out there. When I compared the iPhone 8 Plus and Pixel

The Future of Multi-Camera Smartphones
In 2018 you have many options when it comes to smartphone cameras. Since the iPhone 7 Plus in late 2016, there has been a trend towards dual-camera setups1. Basically any phone that’s serious about cameras has 2 lenses on it nowadays. That is, with the exception of the Huawei P20 (3 lenses) and
