The Pixel 9s Super Res Zoom is where Google should have drawn the line

No one wants to carry a zoom lens, let alone a standalone camera that can attach to one. Or at least the wide majority of people don’t, which is why it seems smartphone makers have pushed so hard to add ultrawide and telephoto lenses to their phones. And while they’re still not exactly as capable as a DSLR, a phone like the Pixel 9 Pro can capture telephoto images that are at least passable as professional photos.
