The cameras aren’t really high end either, they are decent mid range cameras with a lot of AI post processing to make pictures look better.
Most of the time it works really well, but at other times, they don’t really capture the actual picture.
I’ve seen pictures taken in fog, where the AI treatment completely removes the fog, impressive if that’s what you wanted, but if you actually wanted the “real” picture, you were fucked because you couldn’t disable the AI post processing.
IDK if they have changed that, but personally I prefer more moderate post processing.
Sorry, I should clarify that I meant the images produced by the cameras, not the hardware itself. In any case, there is no such thing as a “real” picture that is a 1:1 recreation of what the human eye sees, so it’s really just a matter of whether or not you like the images produced. I think the widespread consensus since the Pixel 2 has been that the images produced by Pixel phones are among the best.

No phone camera is going to be impressive with hardware. The sensors are just to small.
