Google Pixel 10 Camera To Enhance Macro Photography With This Upgrade: Report

On Aug. 20, Google is anticipated to reveal the Pixel 10 line of smartphones, which is likely to comprise Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. For shutterbugs looking forward to the launch of the next Pixel, there is good news. 

The Pixel 10 is reportedly getting a camera upgrade that is poised to make it even more attractive to photography lovers. According to a recent leak, the phones’ telephoto cameras will have the capability to capture macro images.

As per an Android Headlines report, Google is tipped to pack the Pixel 10 with tele-macro capabilities. This feature, which has been popular by OnePlus 13 and the Oppo Find N5, will enable the phone to take macro photos using the telephoto lens rather than the ultrawide. 

Google might still not eliminate macro capabilities from the ultrawide sensor, even though the Pixel 10 might use the telephoto sensor for macro photos. The telephoto would capture images up until a certain distance before switching to the ultrawide sensor, which will be able to get closer to the subject without losing focus. 

While macro photography isn’t something everyone uses daily, it would be a welcome addition to the Pixel. However, it is uncertain whether the entire Pixel 10 range will get the feature or only select variants. 

According to earlier reports, Google is also expected to improve image stabilisation, so much so that it’ll be like “using a Pixel 10 on a DJI Osmo Mobile 6, but without that gimbal”. The image stabilisation capability would reportedly be available on all Pixel 10 devices.

The Pixel 10 Pro is expected to get a thicker camera bar. The 10 Pro and Pro XL models are expected to pack a third camera sensor (probably a telephoto), with a 50MP primary/48MP ultrawide/48MP telephoto configuration.
