Key Highlights
- The Pixel 10 ships with a 10.8MP 5x camera, while the Pixel 10 Pro phones pack a great 50MP 5x periscope camera. There’s one big feature missing from Google’s telephoto cameras, though, and I really hope to see it on the Pixel 11 Pro line.
- Of course, I’m talking about telephoto macro capabilities.

- This requires you to move your phone virtually on top of whatever you’re snapping, which has various downsides, from lackluster bokeh to potentially ruining your photo’s lighting. Instead, I love the ability to take macro photos with a telephoto camera; it’s great for grabbing a close-up shot without physically moving closer to the subject.
