Looks like there’s a ton of upscaling going on. It’s the phone generating what’s probably there based on the little information it gets rather than an image of what’s actually there. It can be impressive, but there will also be many cases where it looks like an AI-generated image because for the most part it is.
Thank you for your service, I couldn’t be bothered debugging the image upload from boost so I gave up and shared via the convenient option 🤷
I know I’m supposed to hate Google more but I don’t have enough energy to decouple fully from the conveniences
For people without that phone, context why that’s silly. The Google Pixel 10 does have an impressive telephoto lens (for a phone) of about 110mm equivalence, although it’s nowhere near what we’re seeing here.
What’s not impressive is its gimmick: anything above 30x is actually AI enhanced up to 100x. The photo you shared likely used that enhanced feature to unblur, like text. You really really wanna piss off some people with this comment, lol.
It’s just the built in camera zoom; I was never suggesting it’s an alternative to a real camera lens but for a phone the results are still pretty impressive, even if they’re achieved with local AI or whatever
I bought a Huawei P30pro in 2016. Now I’ve got a Samsung S24 basic model. This is garbage in comparison, despite being almost a decade newer. The camera AI isn’t bad, and the video quality is great, but the optics are just fucking terrible.
My Huawei was actually useful and the I felt the camera was pretty adequate even for niche long term exposure shots that you’d normally definitely want a tripod and an SLR to take. Okay granted the stabilisation on the S24 is probably better for like hand held low light, but everything else is worse.
The Huawei had an optical 10x zoom (and up to 50x with digital but who cares about digital). Very impressive macro photos, I didn’t even need a loop to check the trichomes on my ganja.
Had to sacrifice a soul a little with prolly being on some Chinese spy lists now because of all the Huawei accounts I have but eh, it is what it is.
I was a tiny bit considering maybe getting the Pura 80 Ultra. It’s almost got a 10x zoom again. Idk why they went back on it. Too expensive to make? Honestly in the past 10 years not a lot of phones with that sort of zoom.
No zoom vs. max zoom, Google pixel 😘

i would love to see, but i blocked all google domains for privacy reasons.
You’re not missing much; it’s got that classic Google Camera upscale smearing
Yeah everything is wobbly (but usually legible). This was a 2 drinks in shit post rage bait tbh but I do still enjoy the phone camera 🤷

:) disclaimer, may not be full resolution originally shared
Thats quite some zoom for a phone, i wonder tho if this would still work as well when the light isnt as bright

Actually they did put a real telephoto lens in it, which I think is a real zoom up to 5x? But yes, digital zoom is most things.

Yes, the optics on phones have a very non-linear curve over the decades, we’ve had great lenses predating Androids & iPhones.
All the dev goes into sensors & postprocessing (while the development of lenses is mostly in miniaturization).
And google drive…
Andrew, what’s gamecocks?
Who knows, it’s one of those sports things people are obsessed with over here in the US
Dude… the distance in OP‘s picture is just short of 3km. The distance in your picture is probably under 100m.
I think this message may be my most productive bait so far
