We’ve seen some impressive zoom tech on smartphones in recent years, with 3x, 4x, 5x, and even 10x cameras popping up. Google has also stepped up with the Pixel 7 Pro, going from a 48MP 4x camera to a 5x shooter.
However, our own Rob Triggs argued that Google’s decision to embrace long-range zoom cameras means that portrait photography suffers by looking less realistic. So with that in mind, we asked Android Authority readers whether they valued robust zoom or realistic portraits.
