I recently got a Google Pixel 7 pro because my previous phone was glitching out and it was a headache. I didn’t buy the phone for the camera, I have a mirrorless that I use when I want to take a picture, I got it for the battery life and to not have Samsung bloatware.
But still every once in a while I want to take a quick pic and send it on signal or Snapchat or something, and every time it comes out way too saturated and way too sharpened. All the ads I saw for this phone was for camera features like the magic eraser thing and the night vision, but they’re all just covering for what is the worst camera sensor that they could possibly find. You can’t control the exposure, you can’t get the raw image, It is a horrible experience to take a picture with this phone every single time.
If you want a smartphone to be able to take good pictures. First of all, don’t. Get a camera. Second of all, steer clear of the pixel phones.
That’s the thing, I don’t want an incredible camera, I just want a reasonable one. The big thing that sold me on this phone was the battery life
My last 2 Chinese phones had ~5k mAh and lasted far longer than my pixel 6
chinese phones are the best: although the hong kongian brand that i am using now has higer features/price ratio: for 200$, infinix offers a lot of features compared to other phone brands like xiaomi. some of xiaomi 1000$ phones are absurd. also chinese phones are now stuck in 6nm process nodes, since the semiconductor embargo…idk how this would fare in the future…
