Ok, #TeamPixel. Get settled because we’re going to talk about zoom for a while.

With #GoogleTensor G2, #Pixel7 Pro combines state-of-the-art hardware, software, and machine learning to reach new heights in computational photography with pro-level zoom.

You *could* get those natural shots photographers love by adding another camera with a 2x telephoto lens… but that means a bulkier phone.

#Pixel7 Pro with #SuperResZoom increases the zoom magnification without the bulk ✨ Here’s how:

Starting at 2x, our next generation of #SuperResZoom crops #Pixel7 Pro’s 50MP main camera sensor using a high resolution mode to provide a full 12.5MP image.

To de-noise, #SuperResZoom remosaics the image and uses HDR+ bracketing to align and merge the frames.
Since both phones share the same large main sensor, you can get high-quality 2x shots on both #Pixel7 Pro and #Pixel7 ✨

As you zoom in, #Pixel7 Pro’s upgraded 5x telephoto camera takes over and #GoogleTensor G2 powers a new machine learning autofocus algorithm, helping your images stay sharp and detailed 📷

Still not close enough?

Pinch to zoom even more and #SuperResZoom performs the same process as it does at 2x—creating a full 12MP photo that’s similar to a dedicated 10x (!!!) telephoto camera¹ 🤯

Help keep your camera steady all the way up to 30x zoom—the largest zoom magnification ever on a #Pixel¹

#ZoomStabilization on #Pixel7 Pro helps you get amazing, detailed photos at 15x, 20x, and up to 30x - our longest range on a Pixel
