[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Solomon M:
I purchased the pro and had to return it due to prinicple on the 48 mp being marketed as un-Binned, But it is... but stayed with the 6 because i wanted a new phone over the pixel 2. The pixel 2 camera is in every pixel since it but the 6 and pro.

Day after day i sent this as feedback in my camera app and in the system. If they did care they would have released it with options for all its features... what they want to do is not have yoy recoding and uploading to social media 4k videos that those systems cannot afford to host your needlessly high detail on a day to day.

this is the fedback i sent: "

Pixel 6

Google Camera App Feature Request:

"Enable options to output Photo file resolutions equaling near 50 megapixels OR 100 megapixels for main camera sensor."

"Options to take full resolution photo."

"Output file resolutions larger than 12.5 megapixels."

"Options to disable Pixel Binning."

Samsung clearly stated the sensor is capable of output at these resolutions, source:

"Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today introduced Samsung ISOCELL GN1, a new 50-megapixel (Mp) image sensor with large 1.2μm-sized pixels. The ISOCELL GN1 is Samsung’s first image sensor to offer both Dual Pixel and Tetracell technologies. Thanks to the relatively larger pixel size, the GN1 brings image sensor performance to a new level with a combination of elevated light sensitivity for stellar low-light photos and DSLR-level auto-focus speeds, optimized for more dynamic picture-taking experiences.

“With innovative pixel technologies, Samsung has been at the forefront of offering high-performance image sensors that closely cater to increasingly diversifying market needs. The ISOCELL GN1 is part of that commitment to deliver stunning images to consumers in any environment,” said Yongin Park, executive vice president of sensor business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to introduce image sensor solutions at the cutting-edge that will lead the next trends in mobile photography.”

Creating desirable images is an indispensable element for today’s smartphone users who are well accustomed to visually grasping and cherishing special moments, wherever they are. To address various imaging preferences of the users, some smartphone makers put more emphasis on extremely detailed images with ultra-high resolutions, while some choose bigger pixels for bright results in low-light environments. The new Samsung ISOCELL GN1 fulfills these multiple needs at once with Dual Pixel and Tetracell technologies.

The GN1 brings best-in-class auto-focusing with 100 million phase detection auto-focus (PDAF) agents. Samsung’s Dual Pixel technology places two photodiodes side-by-side within a single pixel that can receive light from different angles for phase detection. With all of the sensor’s active pixels working as auto-focusing agents, the GN1 can detect and focus onto a desired still or moving object from every corner in an instant, even in low-light conditions. When capturing images, a single pixel output is created by merging the outputs from the two photodiodes within the pixel. Samsung also provides a software algorithm that takes light information from each photodiode to produce image resolutions comparable to 100Mp.

For ultimate low-light photography, the GN1 adopts Tetracell technology, a pixel-merging technique that improves the pixels’ capacity to capture and process more light. By binning four pixel signals into one, Tetracell doubles the image sensor’s pixel size to 2.4μm and quadruples the light sensitivity to take brighter 12.5Mp photographs. With improved light sensitivity combined with a powerful auto-focusing solution, the GN1 is able to focus on an object quickly even in extreme low-light environment to deliver both brighter and sharper results.

In addition to Dual Pixel and Tetracell technologies, the GN1 comes with Smart-ISO that intelligently selects the optimal ISO, real-time HDR that captures the scene in multiple exposures simultaneously, and gyro-based electronic image stabilization (EIS) that takes sharp images and video even when in motion. For premium video quality, the image sensor supports video recording at up to 8K resolution at 30 frames-per-second (fps)."

AND

"Instantly lock in on an area or object and produce sharp images in motion-packed situations. Dual Pixel technology accelerates the speed and boosts the precision of ISOCELL GN1’s autofocus capabilities, making it simpler for users to get clear and crisp pictures. Each pixel in the 50MP image sensor carries two photodiodes, allowing the component to execute ultra-fast autofocus and capture moving objects no matter where they are in the frame. Also, ISOCELL GN1 takes light information from each photodiode to produce a 100MP resolution photograph by a software algorithm."

do you think me sending this did anything?

likely a little. but yes it is true that the squeaky wheel gets the oil. if those who don't like it dont speak up then well that is how it will be accepted to be.

whenever google releases the ai bots to build the phone based on what all this feedback should lead them to understand is when you will have a top of the line device built by them... until then they are making budget devices still.

but from my research samsung has locked google out of the software required to complete the upscaling algorithm etc etc. that wasnt in google and samsungs contract or some other bull, becasue it can clearly do it as the manufacture boosts
