I own a Pixel 9a. It's the first phone I used that made me question how many of the pixels going out of the camera app are actually coming the sensor and how many from some AI model.
Don't get me wrong. It will take front-cover magazine quality pics of that favorite turist hot spot, even in terrible light.
But as soon as there's something in the frame that your average insta influencer won't typically shoot the results are weird.
A green PCB on my workbench I want to document? Colors all wrong, can hardly pick out the traces. My 20 year Canon does a better job.
A black-and-white hand drawn charcoal portrait? The face on the jpeg will have tan skin and pinkish cheeks.
And there's no setting to turn this sort of processing off, unless you want to deal with the hassle of raw files.
