Not having a quality 3x-5x is a real bad decision.
Looks like the S24 Ultra will be making a change. Keeping the 3x. But switching to a 5x 2nd zoom with a much larger sensor. Allowing them to keep 12mp cropped 10x images but giving much better pictures in that 5-10x range. I think this is the best path. 3-5x is simply too useful to throw to the side.
as a former Pixel fanboy…do not spend a dime on a Tensor powered Pixel. The change to Tensor, coupled with a terrible modem, have killed the Pixel line for me. Which is why im now here.
