There's also this problem https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5dbo07/google_photoscan_artificially_limits_capture/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5dbo07/google_phot... > After testing PhotoScan on a variety of pictures using four different phones, I'm sad to report that we're not getting our camera's worth from the app. The long dimension of scanned pictures is always scaled (up or down) to 2,000 pixels, compared to the 4,000-pixel capture resolution of the 6P (12.3 MP -> less than 3 MP).

I noticed the limited resolution, as well. If you are looking for real "archival" imaging, this app probably won't suffice. On the other hand, it's nice to have on your phone to grab the occasional image e.g. from a picture on the wall behind glass or something similar. As another commenter mentions, maybe to grab an old photograph out of an album and put it on Facebook or the like. Users should also note, its cropping is not always accurate -- larger contrasts produce better results. But, after it grabs its initial image, you can adjust the cropping -- including outward, to the limit of what was initially imaged. P.S. I have a Nexus 5x. I'm guessing the app may work relatively well for me also because I'm using a phone that the Google developers are particularly likely to specifically support and have used/tested against. Since this appears to be a small project -- maybe a 20%-er or the like? -- at a guess, results may vary significantly depending upon phone and camera module. At a guess -- I've no idea.
