    What do you think guys out there, do you think that a camera app developed by a third party could make full-res images possible?

          Just comparing daylight photos with my 5 year old Nexus 5X. Pixel 6 photos appear to be a bit sharper. However the Pixel 6 smooths out fine details. This smoothing is very evident in distant trees. Probably related to too much sharpening! New updates will hopefully resolve this.

              As for me, camera part is boring.

                It might not be the clear winner overall (I guess Mi 11 Ultra generally holds the crown), but its quite comparable with the top dog flagships IMO. Might actually be the 2nd best if you mostly care about indoor photos of people.

                  5000+mah battery and it’s clocking in that kind of battery life? That’s laughable!

It suffers from several issues I cannot live with one being Performance with battery life, and lastly if I were to buy it just out of curiosity as to what Google will do with their own hardware more so from a developer perspective I would rather wait for a fire sale on it or for it to go down in price. Technology is nothing special nowadays. Clearly people on this forum are educated and microscope the tar out of tech and any piece of architecture that is flawed all the way down to the last pixel (no pun intended). The issue is really that Companies want to make money to keep doing this but not for the real reason of supplying consumers. It is business as usual. We or consumers drive the market by simply buying and continually going online and hitting add to cart...even if it makes no real sense to do so...imagine if all the youtubers that bank their paychecks on mobile phones simply saw the reality that it is just stuff to look at and has no real bearing on life as we know it lol. My LG from 2018 takes just as good videos and pics as any phone I have every owned in my life up to now and it cost me 150 dollars.

                            Especially in Google's case.
                            This company has billions of dollars for R&D, thousands of employees and all that results in 2 released devices a year that are STILL unfinished! I mean, that's laughable.
                            To add insult to injury, 6 and 6 Pro were meant to be released in late 2020. So they're in the development for a long long time and they still failed to finish it.

                              It sounds like a completely bogus claim given that iPhone 13 Pro uses a VRR panel and the refresh rate can vary from 10Hz to 120Hz. The usual "capture the frames in slow motion and divide it by the number of seconds to deduce the frame rate" method won't work here, as with other phones with a VRR display.

                                My honest question: Why? Especially with all the complaints you already had with your Pixel 3a?

                                  Wow ! Photos from pixel y pro cam is full of colour fringing ( blue fringing outside of the frame and colour fringing through tree leaves and edges) and weird noises, something my resmi note 3 did in 2016.

                                    Let's just wait for few months till they improve battery life and camera performance. If they can't go for next year model.

                                        Was interested until I found out it had the rounded edge like my Edge. Hate the rounded edge that I believe Samsung started. Have investigated to find most people don't like the rounded edge. My question is why are they still making garbage like that? Can't wait to find a nice phone that is wide enough and not scrawny like all this junk their making now. I give. Am now using the Nokia 8.3 but it has a LCD screen which can't compare to the AMOLED. Why? I would gladly pay the increase for better screen and more screen width. I have small hands.
