If you think Apple is stingy when it comes to the camera hardware, then you might never see what Google has placed on the pixel phone. The first Google Pixel makes headlines because all tricks can be done and beautiful images that can be produced with a single 12MP camera. AI and algorithm, however, can only go this far, and Google is very slow to improve its cameras in the end. One of the largest updates may come in the 6 XL pixels, or pro based on longer leakage, which will have the first telephoto camera line and which is very strong at that time.

Even the latest pixel superior phones cannot boast much when it comes to camera hardware. It has a 12.2MP main camera with dual-pixel PDAF, and 16MP ultra-wide shooter. As usual, Google relies on the hardware skills to do most upscale phones with fewer premium hardware.

If rumors are correct, pixels 6 can be the biggest departure of the company from that direction. The main camera will have a 50MP sensor, even though the ultra-wide corner camera sounds like it is reduced to 12MP. However, more interesting changes are the 48MP telefoto camera which is believed to have a periscope style lens.

XDA examination of the Google Camera version 8.2,400 application that comes with the latest Android 12 Beta 3 reveals this new camera capabilities. The application code shows the “zoom_toggle_ultratele” option with the text “5x” to display in the UI, signaling the Zoom 5X capability that Google can market as “Ultra Tele” zoom. Instead of just a hybrid zoom form, it is believed that the camera will offer the correct 4.3x optical zoom, according to Google’s modder cameras that find instructions.

This will definitely be a significant increase for the pixel family. With stronger hardware and Google software expertise, pixels 6 XL can be in positions become one of the best Android phones this year, and just not only in the camera department.
