It's time for Google to break free from Apple's camera philosophy and place a zoom camera in the standard Pixel 8 next year.

It’s almost clockwork now. You get a smartphone, and there are multiple options with differing numbers of cameras. Almost every phone comes with an ultrawide lens, but if you want the best zoom, you need to have the best, largest, and most expensive phone in a particular line.

Related Once Apple decided the ideal layout was the main camera paired with an ultrawide camera, the whole market followed suit shortly after. Google has worked around this somewhat with SuperRes Zoom, which is “a computational photography technique traditionally used for astronomy and scientific imaging that produces sharp details when you zoom,” Google explained when it introduced the feature. Taking advantage of its AI magic, users can zoom up to 8x on the Pixel 7 and capture images from afar. It’s a far cry from the 20x on the Pixel 7 Pro, and it’s important to point out that the Pixel’s 8x zoom isn’t optical — it’s a crop.
