The Google Camera app, which is the stock camera app on Nexus And Pixel devices bolsters the image captured using Pixel cameras. Due to its advanced capabilities and features, Google has restricted the camera app to its Nexus and Pixel devices only.

Conclusion

Nowadays, smartphone manufacturers are incorporating camera sensors as many as possible on their devices. Of course, multiple image sensors can combinedly produce better images than that a single camera sensor can. However, Google with its Pixel devices has proved that for better photography, the number of sensors solely don’t determine the quality of images produced by smartphone camera. Despite, a well-implemented image processing algorithm, machine-learning and a standalone image chip which on Pixel devices are known as Visual Core can do wonders even with a single camera.

Let’s hope other OEM’s too would come up with neat software tricks rather than increasing the number of image sensors beyond what we can count using our fingers (Just exaggerating).
