          yeah, but can your DSLR camera make phone calls or receive text messages?

              Not interested in a phone with 60h endurance rating.

                mooox, 17 Dec 2019And you, my kind sir, knows absolutely nothing about photog... moreYup, I'm so with you. No matter how much innovation put in a smartphone camera, it will still never beat proper DSLR or Mirrorless camera.

                  Bill Jobs, 17 Dec 2019Photos look absolutely dslr quality :/Best joke of the century, that's for sure.

                    No thanks, fake AI bokeh will always forever remain a photography joke.

                      Not sure whether I prefer the new background blur. Now the bokeh balls are more pronounced, but the bokeh balls don't look realistic. Previously the bokeh balls were not as pronounced, so you didn't see that they are unrealistic. The bokeh balls also look oversaturated.

                        Google needs to bring back the white balance presets, which could be also chosen in portrait mode.

                              Mi note 10 is best for portraits.

                                Someone tell Google that nobody wants to buy a $1000 camera with calling capabilities.

                                        [deleted post]Developing all the processing used for 1 camera was necessary to achieve this top-notch image quality available with 2 cameras. So even if might sound stupid, this (1 camera PX3) was a step in the evolution.
