I love it when interfaces change all the time and extra steps are added to accomplish the same things. It's really the definition of user friendly designs.

            Google will not do what should be done , the correctly approach

              How about they reduce the oversharpening instead of making pointless camera UI changes.

                  Yeah, I am not a fan of Google's unnecessary change of design language either.
                  They hit right with Android 5.0 Lollipop and it went well until Pie I think.
                  More recently, they are over-rounding stuff, making the margins bigger and just messing around just for the sake of change. I'd argue that it is regressing now even.

                  The new Gmail redesign looks worse than what it used to. Too much free time for employees at Google maybe.

                    Imagine Moto Edge 40 Pro with P7 Pro cameras ...
                    Now that would be a killer deal.
                    And a mix of Google and Moto software.
                    Best from both worlds.

                    Pixel 5a was the last great phone Google made, all this Tensor stuff is just pathetic.


                      I hate change just for change sake. Now if the change actually improves something meaningful...then OK. We all can adjust to the new way in a few hours or days.
                      But the reality is this: When it comes to cell phone cameras I would be willing to bet that 99.9% of end users just want to hit the shutter button and get an adequate picture they can look at on their 6 inch screen! All these other manual settings are mind boggling to the AVERAGE user!!! We/they simply DO NOT CARE! Cell phone cameras have been far better than anything we could ever want for the last 5 or more years! SMH

                          ISO and SS can be changed with fixed EV or not.

                          Even galaxy gran prime offers more control.

                            Everything's great with these changes except this:

                            "The button switch between the front-facing camera and the ones on the back has swapped places with the last photo preview (also a shortcut to the Gallery)"

                            I understand there are millions of people who take selfies more than normal pictures but give an option to us, who don't give a f about selfies, to re-arrange the button order back to 'normal'. Just more convenient for right-handers.

                              what a joke. can't even add pro mode lol. Chinese phones are way better delivering more camera feature than google.

                                        I hope with Pixel 8 series Google will sell it in more countries at launch.

                                        In Finland operator Dna added Pixel 7a, 7, 7 pro and 6a last month and removed them from their website because demand was so high even if prices were like those would have been brand new releases.
