I used to be really impressed with the super macro on my Oneplus 7T Pro. It was exceptional for the time (I opted for it over the Pixel 4XL).

I don't miss it much on the Zenfone 10. I do miss the telephoto lens though. Mostly the overly blue skies on the Zenfone need balancing, because even with settings toned down it's beautiful but extremely fake. Gcam resolves somewhat but that has its own issues.

Still, glad to have a compact powerhouse with decent battery and rely on my wife's Pixel 6 for the realism and quality of pics while we travel.

I got the smaller 8 yesterday from a 13 pro. I like it so far. Beautiful shots btw

Yeah I'm quite happy with the cameras for sure. And thanks!

Does a great job! Pixel Power I call it when my phone won't cut it and I need my wife's Pixel to jump in lol.
