Google Pixel has one of the best cameras in the market compared to Huawei, Samsung, and Apple. The image processing used in Google Pixel phones is exceptional, that is why it is preferred by every other photographer as they can’t get enough of the amazing sensors that are used in its camera’s hardware.
But there is some awful news, Marc Levoy, who is a pioneer in computational photography and the most noticeable analyst behind the Pixel’s camera, left Google in March, as per The Information. His LinkedIn page affirms he is no longer with the organization.
Levoy helped lead a portion of the Pixel’s amazing features, including HDR+, Portrait Mode, Super Resolution Zoom, and Night mode. He’s also the person who was responsible for the tech behind Street View in Google maps, which began as a Stanford venture named CityBlock.
Before he began at Google, Levoy was an educator at Stanford, where he dealt with a task that would, in the long run, become Google Street View. He wasn’t the one who invented the field, Levoy is additionally credited with introducing the term “computational photography,” which is the way towards utilizing calculations, AI, and PC preparing to upgrade traditional photography. Levoy joined Google in 2014 and proceeded onward to be one of the leaders of the Pixel camera group.
With Levoy gone, Will Google Pixel keep up with the Imaging Quality?
Obviously, there’s more than one brain behind any significant item like the Google Pixel, however, one can’t resist the urge to feel a little dubious about whether Google will have the option to keep up its imaging ability with Levoy gone.
The report additionally asserts that Rick Osterloh, who is the head of Google’s hardware, didn’t agree with a portion of the choices made about the Pixel 4. These incorporate the dreary usage of its Soli radar sensors, and “specifically” the phone’s bad battery life.
In the initial two quarters, only 2 million Google Pixel 4s were sold. Apple, by correlation, sold around 74 million iPhones during Q4 of 2019. Without a doubt, we didn’t anticipate that the organization should make up for the lost time to Apple at any point in the near future, however, risks are Google trusted it would get farther than it right now is.
While Google Pixel may not have been the part of the breakout achievement that Google needed, it’s too soon to forget about the organization yet—even with the ongoing loss of valuable employees. With the accomplishment of other Google gadgets, similar to the Nest Hub and Google Nest Mini 2, it appears as though the organization isn’t really battling with making its more prominent devices engaging.
We hope that Google will use this situation as an opportunity and come up with better features in the future.
