About

When it comes to the best quality camera in a smartphone, the handset that has achieved this feat is Pixel 4 by Google. This handset comes with the company’s first telephoto lens that allows a user to take closed-up snaps of distant objects without bringing the digital zooming feature into action. The standard wide-angle lens makes the portrait shooting a breeze. Another astonishing feature of this phone’s camera system is its incredible ability to take photos in low-light.

The Pixel 4 may be a bit pricier than other phones with seemingly similar specs. The price tag of $800 looks rather big. The internal memory that you can get with the phone at this price is 64GB, which is the modest storage capacity for a phone that can shoot high-quality photos and videos. There is no MicroSD slot to help you enhance the storage of this phone. There is a 128GB variant available, but you are going to have to pay an extra amount of $100. Good thing is that you can use Google photos to back up your photos and videos.

Two rear cameras and astrophotography

The Pixel 3 came with astonishing camera performance, and Google has stepped up this camera game a further in the Pixel 4, which comprises two rear cameras on the rear. One of these cameras uses the standard lens, and the second camera uses a telephoto lens that allows you to take closed up shots of distant objects by using its optical zoom.

The HDR feature of the camera compiles several images to give you a single picture with the best exposure settings. Sometimes, the photos using this feature may look overly processed, but it should give amazing results most of the time.

The most amazing feature of the Pixel 4’s camera is its Night Mode that brightens up dark places pretty nicely. This feature is so good that you can use it for astrophotography – the photography mode that allows you to capture the stars that are not visible to the naked eye.

Google Pixel 4’s radar-assisted face unlock

The Pixel 4 has a thick bezel on the top. This bezel is also known as the forehead. Google has equipped this area with a radar sensor, which is also known as Soli radar. The primary function of this chip is to sense the depth of the objects in front of it, making it the perfect feature to be used as face unlock. This advanced system also allows you to make online payments using gestures or letting the sensor see your face.
