Google’s approach appears to combine both the telephoto and ultrawide cameras for macro. Depending on how far you are from the subject, the Pixel 10 might automatically pick the better option. This could help avoid common issues in macro photography, such as shadows or blocked lighting when the camera is too close.
Using the telephoto lens for macro also has another advantage. Telephoto sensors usually have better optics, which can result in clearer and more detailed images. Being able to stand a little farther away from the subject can make it easier to capture things like insects, without disturbing them or getting in the way of light.
The Pixel 10 will also reportedly bring a refreshed set of color options. The standard model may come in Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris, and Midnight. The Pro and Pro XL versions will offer Sterling Gray, Light Porcelain, Midnight, and Smoky Green. The Pro Fold may come in Sterling Gray and Smoky Green only.
If this feature does arrive, it would give the Pixel 10 a useful tool without adding more sensors or raising the price. That makes it a smart move, helping the phone stand out with better image quality in everyday use.
