For the past few years, I’ve taken an average of 4-5,000 photos with my Pixel phones every year, from random foods and moments to gorgeous landscapes, beautiful street views, sports events, concerts, and more. I’d say I qualify as a mobile photography connoisseur at this point, though “addict” may be the more accurate word. But if there’s one thought that keeps popping up time and again when I take my Pixel out of my pocket to snap photos, it’s that I rarely, very rarely use the main “1x” lens.
I’ve already said it: I think phone cameras are too wide, and 2x is better, so if it were up to me, I’d scrap the Pixel 10 Pro’s main 1x lens in a split second and replace it with another zoom lens. Too crazy? Hear me out.
