        In case you dont know GN5/GN3 are more advanced than GN1/gn2, just smaller.

          Unless pen goes away

            Isn't that the sensor Mi 11 Ultra used? Great sensor, but come on, Google where is the progress? There is clear evidence now sensor size wins it as far as the overall image quality goes, so why are so many companies shying out from it in their flagships?

              Come on Google, be nice and make your phones official in all of European Union. You know that will bring all the features to use, including 5G. I don't get it why is so hard. Your reason is that you do not have enough market share on all countries, but how could you get that market share if you don't make it official and the users can't use some features? Good phones from all points of view, poor marketing strategy.

GN2 (if they can't put a IMX989 or similar 1-inch type Sony sensors because of pricing etc.) is fine as we know Google is the best at polishing and make the best out of those camera sensors (actually it's called computational processing instead). And the rest of the phone also mostly or totally consists of Samsung-made elements (display, chipset, RAM, battery etc.) so an absolute harmony is there.

Look at vivo, traded sam... moreVivo traded but they just used the gn1 and even that did well on Vivo flagships in combination with Vivo's ISP. The GN2 is far superior and has performed very well on the Xiaomi 11 ultra, magic 4 ultimate and magic 5 pro. Seems to have better autofocus than the imx989. It's definitely capable of great results
