The Pixel camera needs changes.
I took the Pixel 10 Pro XL with me on a 15-day trip to Japan, and while the camera’s solid, there are a few things I’d tweak. In this video, I talk about HDR overprocessing, annoying lens flares, and how using an app like Zero Cam gives photos a more natural vibe. Should Google tone things down with their processing?
