i would love to see, but i blocked all google domains for privacy reasons.
You're not missing much; it's got that classic Google Camera upscale smearing
Yeah everything is wobbly (but usually legible). This was a 2 drinks in shit post rage bait tbh but I do still enjoy the phone camera 🤷
Block this

That's not impressive by comparison.
Thank you for your service, I couldn't be bothered debugging the image upload from boost so I gave up and shared via the convenient option 🤷 I know I'm supposed to hate Google more but I don't have enough energy to decouple fully from the conveniences
Thats quite some zoom for a phone, i wonder tho if this would still work as well when the light isnt as bright
Looks like there's a ton of upscaling going on. It's the phone generating what's probably there based on the little information it gets rather than an image of what's actually there. It can be impressive, but there will also be many cases where it looks like an AI-generated image because for the most part it is.
