        It's only for ARM64. Too bad, anyone not on that can't use it.

                Josephkarthic, 13 Aug 2017thanks for the reply...So both iphone and pixel has OIS rig... moreThe best focus will be Galaxy S7/S8.
                Pixel doesn't have OIS while the iPhone has OIS but it doesn't matter. Shots are less blurry (pretty much always no blur) in the Pixel over the iPhone. I had the iPhone 7 and many lower light shots were blurry. Pixel has excellent stabilization and image quality.
                For the best, most stable focus, go with Galaxy S7.
                Pixel has faster focusing than iPhone but isn't as stable as the iPhone.

                        This is a very nice update, I've been enjoying it for a while now on a Pixel XL.

                              Has the lens blur option always been in Google camera? Cause I've literally never seen it.

But never mind, I found that the alternative camera apps like Camera FV-5, Open Camera and Footej Camera all have a "screen flash" option for the front camera, so that's solved.

                                    For the best videos, go for iPhone. They have the best, most natural videos.
                                    However, for images, the Pixel wins as it has the most natural post processing and very realistic results. You'll get noise though, when you're not outdoors. Either way, I have tried so many phones and I like the Pixel's camera the best. Very fast, very smooth to use.

                                      MdN8, 12 Aug 2017Can someone recommend a good selfie flash app for other pho... moreYou can actually just head over to xda and download the Google camera app for any other phone. If you have a phone with SD820 and above it even supports the new HDR+ feature from the Pixel. It gives amazing results on my Xiaomi Mi5.
