Telephoto is definitely better than getting up close physically with the camera. I didn't realize at first that the 6 Pro, with all of its amped up camera hardware, is actually not as good as my old Pixel 3 XL and 3a XL at true macro photography (which I like to do when out on a nature hike).

I wonder if Google will be able to tweak the camera software to overcome the limitations of the larger sensor?
