The higher quality does seem specific to the Pixel though, comparison https://twitter.com/reckless/status/1187557180276445186 https://twitter.com/reckless/statu

- ladberg 7y agoIn that example the Pixel has a 6x longer exposure. While Pixels can currently get better night photos currently, it's simply because the software lets them take minutes-long exposures instead of seconds-long. From a hardware point of view I don't think there's an advantage.
- ganitarashid 7y agoYep it’s just the settings, hardware is basically the same and can achieve the same result. This is a marketing blog post.
- mirsadm 7y agoIf you ignore all the research and development into creating the software then sure every camera is the same.
- ladberg 7y agoBoth the Pixel and iPhone have AMAZING camera hardware and software that is better than any others in their domain. It’s just that the two are roughly equal except for the exposure time used.
- ubercow13 7y agoThe point of the software is to allow longer exposure time while mitigating the issues that causes. It’s not “just” a longer exposure time.
- ladberg 7y agoYeah, but I think the software differences required for 30 seconds vs 3 minutes is minimal. 30 seconds is still long enough to have to deal with all the issues that would come up with a 3 minute exposure.
