My CGW Googlestore order hasnt been cancelled yet despite placing it a few days ago, whats the odds of it shipping? lol

Hopefully you are lucky, keep your fingers crossed!

A full year wait. can also order pixel 6a and pixel 7 / pixel 7 pro and receive before x'mas

Haha, is this for real? May be some error in Google's end in estimating the delivery date!

Yea, I rotate between the p50p (chinese OS), vivo70p+ (chinese OS), X1m3 (HK) and S21U (HK) currently and have access to wife's i12p and kid's p4a.
X1m3 is my jog/action phone currently, in ample light with its superior AF, it has its worth in the midst of action.
I hate HWZ forum's photo attachment logic and will not bother attaching proof or comparison photos so up to you to choose to believe or not.

For still images, if the subject are still and not moving (like your awesome watches), it makes the process much easier.
I tend to take images of my fidgety 8yo & 5yo and pomsky (dog).
Out of my 4 phones mentioned, in low light (like outdoor dusk and later timing with some street light), X1m3 is easily the worst (yes, even more than p4a, unfortunately, I genuinely wish that is not the case for the $ I paid). I am referring to auto mode or force/manual shutter speed to 1/30 to1/50
Auto-mode force and mandate a 1.5-2sec night-mode ish shot which is not usable as long as the subject is in some sort of motion. While shutter speed ranging from 1/30 to 1/50 produces a painted mesh most (80-90%ish?) of the time ( regardless how good the eye AF is).
In comparison, with the v70p+, there is a sport mode which i just need to toggle and shoot away and wooahh.... 30-40% (6 or 8 out of 20) of the shots taken are actually impressive in those conditions with a smartphone sensor (again, my fidgety kids and dogs) and usable, compared to X1m3's 5% (or 1 out of 20 ish).
Yes, one can argue that I should manually set the X1m3 proper, then again, i'll rather bring my alpha1 if that is the case XD

I apologize on side tracking to other phones.
For the above scenario, I mentioned that Pixel4a actually takes a better quickie low light shot vs X1m3 which really showcase pixel's software power with much inferior hardware.
Do take note that past generations of pixel did not change much on the camera and its sensor and they have been tuning their software to that for quite a while.
Funny thing is that with pixel 6, its seemed that their software have yet to be fully and optimally tuned to the upgraded and new sensor and lens yet. Also likely that tensor (which is an exynos variant) is not powerful and mature enough to power through image processing of pixel 6. Vivo70p+'s additional dedicated imaging chip (on top of SD 888+) seemed to be doing a better job in comparison.

The good thing is that software are easier to improve on (with google's good track record on computational photography) VS hardware. So pixel 6 can only get better with time. The future is bright!

Do agree Sony has yet to keep up with current flagship phones' computational photography, but they are targeting a different niche segment which seems to be readily catching on given their sudden pumping out waves of superior hardware phones.

Whereas the Pixel 6pro is now trying to catch up to the camera imaging lead that sparked the industry they once upon a time started with from the very first pixel 1.

Guess the formula is some patience + tweaking to enable the images that panders to our unwavering demand for better photos...

Seeming to be able to capture the moving animal... clearly, with last years X1ii already

Thinking software enhancements can make up for the hardware gap to ip13pro/max....dunno la. Compare like that, those who wanna buy either for the camera quality will still end up paying a hefty premium.

Why not a 'cheaper' option with software enhancements to bridge any gaps?

Ya ip13pro really ex

I'm not a v camera person tbh so can make do with decent quality can alr

Yes but not in all situations, video iPhone wins

Pixel struggles in low light

 

[aljj1996]

Super super? Utterly? Guess you have the device? Dunnoboutyou but to my X1iii usage it's very good as one can control how much "dark" there is whilst yet accentuating the subject...

Pixel phone wise my P4XL will be able to get very good HDR captures, but unable to control the lighting and shutter speeds etc of the shot...

Wah nice watch!

Nice doggy!
Try (SGT) dusk and later timing with some street lamps ish kind of setting.
(In many ways, patience and further tweaks = missing a lot of magical & natural moments)

The phone does have its strength like best single hand usage experience
and the surround sound is quite impressive coming from phone speakers!
Not to forget the charge while using/gaming safety feature.

For sure. Can't wait to test it all out.

I was actually on the pixel 5 before this then now using fold 3 but find it too bulky.

Gonna see which one would end up being my daily driver.

Those without friends in Australia how you buy from Aus google store?
