Google Pixel XL camera review

$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_1207849172","galleryId":"1207849172","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"standalone":false,"selectedImageIndex":0,"startInCommentsView":false,"isMobile":false}) }); For its latest smartphone generation, Google has dropped the Nexus moniker of previous models and used Pixel branding borrowed from the company's top-end Chromebooks and tablets.

The Pixel XL is the larger of two models and comes with a 5. 5" QHD-screen that uses AMOLED technology.

In terms of technical camera specifications, not much has changed compared to last year's Nexus devices. A 1/2. 3" 12MP sensor is paired with an F2. 0 aperture but offers no optical image stabilization. However, Google has flexed its muscles on the software side of things and added a new gyroscope-based video stabilization system that reads gyro data 200 times per second for smoother panning and shake-free handheld video recording.

Additionally, thanks to more powerful processing and zero shutter lag the excellent HDR+ mode is now on by default, using an image stacking approach to reduce noise, capture better detail and increase dynamic range. While the Pixel XL's camera hardware looks promising, it is these innovative algorithms that make the Google device one of the most interesting smartphones for photography released this year.
