The Google Pixel 10 is rumored to be getting a new feature aimed at improving macro photography. According to a new report, Google may use the phone’s telephoto camera to take close-up shots, instead of relying only on the ultra-wide lens like in previous models.
This technique is called tele-macro photography. It allows the phone to use the telephoto sensor to focus on close subjects, such as flowers or insects. The idea isn’t entirely new, as Samsung used it briefly on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but more smartphone makers have been returning to the idea in recent months. OPPO introduced it on the Find N5, and OnePlus has something similar on the upcoming OnePlus 13, even though it hasn’t highlighted the feature.
