5 Things you need to know about Pixel camera

 pixel 6 & pixel 6 pro  leaks are all over the internet, everyone curious to know about pixel cameras , yet the only thing we know about the new google pixel cameras are pixel 6 is going have  dual  camera set up, pixel 6 pro is going to have a triple camera setup, finally finally they going to have a perfect camera setup in pixel periscope sensor, ultrawide sensor, wide sensor.  to know why i'm telling finally pixel having perfect camera, lets deep dive into pixel camera's 

1. Pixel 12mp sensors

· All the way from the google pixel xl to pixel 5 google used the same main sensor 12 mega pixel sony sensor, from pixel 3 to pixel 5  they used the exactly same sensor sony imx 363, you may think why they didn't joined megapixel race where other brands laps ahead of them, because other brands believed the way to improve the mobile photography by innovating the camera hardware's upgrading hardware.

· pixel had their own ideals they believed they can push  mobile photography to the next level   by google's software magic actually they did, their cameras dominated the smartphone market.

2. Ace of computational photography

· When brands like huawei, xioami, oneplus, samsung, equipped their smartphones   with 48, 50, 64 and massive 108 mp sensors pixel confronted all these with their ancient 12mp sensor and google camera software,  they had a well optimized image processing algorithm , they counteracted the hardware limitations with their software processing  even before the pixel, in nexus they started figuring out the power of computational photography , for example they launched HDR+ which was introduced in nexus 6 was years ahead of other brands at that time

· Pixel found the capabilities of computational photography, from there they started exploring the boundaries of mobile photography with their software.

3. google pixel nightsight & astrography

· When it comes to mobile photography Capturing the image in low light was a great challenge to all smartphone manufacturers because smartphone camera sensors are very small so it could not capture that much light and it also had some other problems like stabilization to get long exposure night mode pictures brands like huawei confronted the problems with 50 mp bigger size sensor with modified to capture more light , but pixel took that same 12 my pixel sensor and they worked hard and came up with with new algorithms loaded with machine learning algorithm.

· Night sight took the smartphone industry like at that time their competitors night mode shots wasn't even near the shots took by it was like day night difference , the shots from night sight are well exposed brighter , had minimum noise and color accurate than other night modes 

· When a night sight shot taken it takes 6 to 15  photos based on the stability and moving objects in the frame, if the phone is not stable it takes 15 photos at a 1/15 second shutter speed or less, if the phone is stable it takes 6 photos at a 1 second shutter speed, then it align this images top of one another and merge it together to form a single image with less noise, in final step that's where that magic happens google implemented a machine learning algorithm called fast fourier color constancy algorithm which detects the objects in the image and detects its color and enhance it.  

· fast fourier color constancy algorithm is made pixel night sight images  way better than others, because google optimized this algorithm by feeded it with millions of reference images and trained it, with pixel 4 xl  night sight brought improvised night sight and astrophotography mode which uses the same technique of night sight but capture long exposure images to capture stars, moon of night sky, even i was  able capture the milky way with a modded google camera in my midrange device thats the beauty of it.

4. Google camera mods:

· Speaking about mods you don't have to envy pixel for having a great night mode, the developer communities like xda, cynogen mods seen the google camera app as software valuable alternate to the stock camera's of many phones, they gave amazing results in some phones, some  budget  redmi phones camera performance with google camera, knocked out the midrange flagships like oneplus 6, 6t stock camera performance,  so the google camera started gaining popularity among the user,

· Seeing the popularity of google camera brands like redmi, realme enabled the camera 2 API and raw support in their phones, so they don't have to go into complex rooting functions, they can straight away install the google camera in their mobiles from the forum like xda and they can enjoy seeing hdr+, night sight, astrophotography,  doing magic in their smart phones

5. Things that pixel cameras lacked

· Pixel 2 and 2xl been a perfect camera smartphone  because in that time, there wasn't much dual camera, so pixel main camera only enough to gain the users attention easily, but during  the time of pixel 3 and 3xl, iphone xs max had their secondary telephoto sensor and huawei mate 20 pro had a ultrawide and telephoto camera sensors, so during that time pixel wasn't the perfect camera smartphone.

· During pixel 4 and 4xl it doesn't  had a ultra wide where other smartphones like samsung galaxy note 10 plus, iphone 11 pro max had perfect triple camera set ups and huawei p30 pro had periscopic 5x telephoto camera and it wasn't even released in many region due to that soli radar

· Needless to say pixel 5 was a disappointment among the pixel fans it doesn't had a flagship processor and telephoto camera instead of that they given a ultrawide , meanwhile pixel fans expected it would have a perfect camera setup, but again pixel start flexing their software optimization, they said eventhough it doesn't have flagship processor we would give  flagship experience with software, even though it doesn't  have telephoto sensor we will give optical zoom like shots with digital zoom, it wasn't bad but it could have been better

· But pixel 6 and 6pro leaks looks promising they working with a processor called whitechapel and also they having a periscopic telephoto lens in pixel 6 pro, seem like they're aiming for the position of best android flagship that's mean they want to replace samsung s and note series which  being the best android flagships, cant wait to see, leave  the things you like about pixel in comments and share this blog your friends who want to know about pixel..
