This remark was made by Vic Gandotra, who was vice president at Google's social division until 2014. Mr. Gandotra in his Facebook post, "The end of the digital single-lens age has already arrived, I put my high-end aircraft at home and took pictures with the iPhone 7's portrait mode at the restaurant. It was a wonderful thing that I could take this picture without using the flash inside the restaurant's shop, and Apple has done a wonderful job. "

And furthermore, in response to the comment "Do you think the camera of Samsung Galaxy S8 is good?" Gandotra replied "When taking pictures, Android's cameras are not used anymore!", "The problem is on Android Android is almost an open source OS and fair to all manufacturers but there is a problem when looking at details.I wondered that Samsung's photo application has many options Why? Even if Samsung has a good camera sensor, it takes a yearly time to reflect it in Android's API, "said Android's He says the camera does not fall short of the iPhone.

Mr. Gandotra also states that the performance improvement of the Android camera is "processing", that is, the evolution of software. This is also a constraint for being Android, but there is no restriction on one Apple, and Goddota's assertion that purely hardware evolution can be reflected in quality improvement as it is. In the end, "Conclusion: If you want to take amazing pictures, iPhone. If you think it can be a couple of years late, you can buy Android," it's quite exciting.

In "Google Photos", functions that are called "auto auto" that improve the quality of photos by AI are provided, and now it is possible to use the "assistant" function. Also, information of the subject captured by the camera is automatically found out and displayed on the screenGoogle LensFeatures like that are also appearing.

In addition, Mashable's Raymond Wong points out that Google's high-end smartphone "Pixel" has a very high camera performance. According to Mr. Wong, Pixel says that although the sensor performance is inferior to the iPhone, especially when shooting in a dark environment it will be a good photograph with power of the processing engineWhile giving examplesI explain.

It is surprising that former Google executives praise the former rival machine clearly, but Mr. Gandora's "being late years" is too complicated, Wong says.
