Regardless of the actual software processing details, in the wider population of Android consumers I'm pretty sure it's Samsung that has the reputation for photography.

Samsung's advertising focus is on advertising things that people understand and think they want, not AI assistants and cleaner versions of Android. Most of the reviews of the Pixel 8 criticise no telephoto lens while Samsung tends to have an excess being shown off.

Like everything Google does, I'm not sure it is any good at understanding people as humans rather than people as aggregate statistical models and that shows in its consumer devices.

Samsung's 10x camera is amazing, I'm pretty miffed they dropped down to a digial zoom 10x though and made it a 5x on the S24 series, even if it gives other benefits like higher quality mid zooms between the 3x and 10x.

I really hope they bring it back or someone else has a good 10x lens by the time I need a new phone.

Fuck only having a 3x after having a 10x
