Astrophotographer Ian Norman of Lonely Speck recently got his hands on a Google Pixel 4 XL for testing, so he took it out to Joshua Tree National Park to see how well the "Astrophotography Mode" on this smartphone compares to shooting with a "real" camera.
Moment has just revealed a new 14mm smartphone lens that promises to deliver "the widest, crispiest shot you can have on a phone" to the latest smartphones like the iPhone 11/11 Pro, the Google Pixel 4, the One Plus 7, and the Samsung Galaxy S10.
Ever since Google debuted Night Sight, people have marveled at how capable the computational photo technology has proven to be. But how does it compare to good old fashion sensor size? Andrew of the YouTube channel Denae & Andrew decided to find out.
If the advertised astrophotography capabilities of the Google Pixel 4 enticed you to upgrade from your Pixel 1 or 2, you might be able to do without. The latest Google Camera mod brings this feature and lots more to the older Pixel phones.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. We reported over the weekend that iPhone users have been enjoying free and unlimited original-quality photo backups through Google Photos thanks to the ultra-efficient HEIC file format. Google is now calling it a "bug" and saying that it will be fixed.
When the Google Pixel 4 was announced this week, it was revealed that it would be the first Pixel phone to not provide all users with free unlimited original-quality backups on Google Photos. But in a strange twist, thanks to a "loophole," owners of newer iPhone models do get free unlimited original-quality storage in the Google cloud.
Google today announced the new Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL smartphones, the first generation of Pixel phones to boast more than one camera.
About a month ago, a leaked promo video revealed that Google was going all in on low-light photography in the upcoming Pixel 4 smartphone, including a special "Astrophotography mode." Now, thanks to some leaked photos sent to 9to5Google, we get to see what Astrophotography Mode can do.
Google already took smartphone photography to a new level when they released their Night Sight mode, but it looks like they're planning to improve low-light smartphone photography even further by adding some sort of astrophotography mode to the upcoming Pixel 4.
The Google Pixel 3 may be suffering from some serious camera issues, but the engineers in Mountain View are still going full steam ahead on the upcoming Pixel 4. And according to the most recent reports, that phone may come with a 'DSLR-like accessory' for more serious photographers.
