Just for kicks, I also tested 2.1x zoom, and it looks nearly identical to 2x (even though the 2.1x shot also took up 3.5 MB less than the 2x shot for some odd reason). Anything below that results in a loss of quality. So, in other words, if you are looking to zoom around 2x, just use 2x. This further supports the idea that the 2x shots have more information. The other thing is that the 2x shots consistently took up about 2.5 MB more space than the 1.9x shots (about 30% more space), every single time. But when you zoom in, there is definitely a difference. From just looking at the full-size images side-by-side on a large monitor, you don’t really notice. Well, I tested this multiple times with a completely stabilized phone and still objects, and… yes.ġ.9x is quite a bit worse than 2x if you crop in on the details. So, then the question might be “Would a 1.9x shot look a lot less detailed than a 2x shot?” So even though they are cropping the middle pixels from the sensor, they are still using the Super Res Zoom technology from before in conjunction. The camera shake is still present at 2x zoom. ![]() That means 1x – 1.5x is still just a crop, but even at 1.5x the resulting image is still 12.5 MP so they’re filling in missing pixels through traditional interpolation.Īt 2x, Google says it turns off pixel binning on the sensor and use the middle crop of pixels from a full resolution image. I believe this used to start at 2x zoom in previous Pixels, so they have decreased the limit here. I took a screen recording of the camera so I could study the viewfinder closely, and when at 1.5x zoom and below, there is no artificial motion being introduced.Ībove 1.5x, it starts shaking the camera module for you. It appears Super Res Zoom is not active up to 1.5x zoom. ![]()
