Pixel 11 Pro’s telephoto camera has an upgrade Google forgot to mention
You can zoom in on closer subjects.
Google's Pixel 11 Pro smartphone boasts an enhanced telephoto camera sensor, as revealed by a Reddit user who noticed a significant improvement over its predecessors. The new sensor, identical in resolution to that of the Pixel 10 Pro and 9 Pro, is slightly larger, resulting in better low-light performance. However, the most notable upgrade is the camera's ability to focus on subjects closer to the phone.
A Reddit user, pcman2000, shared a photograph showcasing the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro side-by-side, both set to the minimum distance on their respective telephoto camera focus sliders. The Pixel 11 Pro captured a sharp image of a box located a few feet away, while the Pixel 9 Pro's image was notably blurry. Yet, Google has not yet addressed these findings.
