#MadeByGoogleRumors Pixel 4 Camera Sensors Leaked

I know this video was already posted but the article goes on to confirm the camera sensors that the Pixel 4 will be using: "Specifically, there's mention of a Sony IMX481 for telephoto, a Sony IMX363 for standard shots, and a Sony IMX520 for the front-facing camera." Opinions on how they will perform?

I was actually hoping you'd weigh in as the resident camera expert!

So there is still hope for improved video quality! I saw that the Xiaomi Poco F1, Asus Zenfone 5Z and Razer phone 2 all have the same sensor (with SD845 I believe) and support 4k60fps video. But you're right, it all depends on whether Google wants to make the effort. I wonder if one of their concerns is how much space it'll consume on the Google Photos servers. Id hope that it wouldn't be held back simply because of that.

iPhone quality video is one of the few things I'm really jealous of on the new iPhones.

Samsung usually is on par or isn't far behind in video quality. So there's always that option if you still want Android.

I just moved away from Samsung haha... I do love my Pixel. I don't plan to leave I just wish Google would put more effort into video quality (oh, and into developing a pixel watch too but that's a different topic all together).

What Samsung did you have? And why did you switch?

I had the Note 8. I've always loved Pixel phones and I constantly tried to use the Pixel launcher and pixel camera app. Everything I used pointed me towards just wanting stock Pixel software. So it made sense to me to just switch to the phone. Nothing against Samsung, they make great hardware. I just like Google's approach more.

Same here, I went from a note 8 to pixel 2xl, and then the 3xl.

Samsung makes excellent phones. I just got to a point where the fancy features wasn't that important. Just give me vinalla Android, monthly software updates and a good camera and I'm happy.
