I'm aware of the noise reduction and watercolor effect on phones, but generally it's not too bad. At least compared to Samsung, who loves to oversharpen and over-reduce.
As for ultrawide lenses - we really don't need them aside from dedicated video shooting. Sirui makes high quality mobile lenses for the price.

They will probably never give telephoto option for a cheap phone. No matter how many megapixels they put into ultrawide it will always be trash unless they use f1.7 lens that allows much more light. Also they need bigger sensors for that camera.
Thanks to poor noise reduction algorithms image will look mushy and watercolor-like, this is the issue that bloggers somehow overlook or hide for some reason when they review smartphones. Only normal ultrawide I had seen was on my old s10+. It was ok in good light but nothing more than that

balls, 09 Nov 2024Oh yeah, it also completely destroys your battery.Really? I remember seeing analyses which concluded that if you charge 20-80, QC will only have a minor effect on battery detoriation. By the time it becomes noticeable people would have since long switched phones.

Having Motorola edge 40 pro using only fast charger 125W and after 16 mionts of use my battery is still perfectly fine.

Pixel 9a better launch at $449 or $399. $499 would be a scam. This is just a 6a Pro. It's WORSE than the 7a and 8a. They were doing great with the 64MP sensors! Why'd they have to screw it up again? This was SUPPOSED to be the perfect budget phone, where we'd finally get faster charging to round it all out (great cameras, fast display, fast charging). I guess we just can't have nice things.
I mean, if 64MP sensors are expensive (seeing as OP13 also did away with that), then they could've compensated for that by replacing the ultrawide with a 3x or 3.5x telephoto. It would've been acceptable. It's the least they could do if they're downgrading the sensor AND keeping the measly 18W charging.

Honestly for 399$ it isn't that bad. I don't want to compare it to Chinese phones because they have horrid UI and bad support.
