[openwheelracing]

What is the difference?

Bump, someone must know the differences here....

There is no enhanced on my Pixel 2 xl.

There is no enhanced on my Pixel 2 xl.

You have to turn the option on under settings, then advanced.

I'm curious as well, I don't know the difference.

From what I read elsewhere (Reddit), HDR+ is akin to the old auto-HDR setting, while HDR+ Enhanced is simply always on HDR+.

I've switched mine on and haven't noticed much difference. Though I need to give it a good go still.

I guess the background exposure.. The blinds are more detailed in the enhanced one.

It looks like HDR+ Enhanced turns off the Motion photo capability, whereas regular HDR+ on allows Motion Photo options to be selected.

It says here, "...HDR+ enhanced mode that makes pictures even more vivid, but takes a little bit longer to process."

Has anyone noticed any benefits/differences of using HDR+ vs HDR+ enhanced? I noticed that HDR+ enhanced does not capture the motion photos but am unsure if the still photo quality looks any different.

I just leave it on the default setting which is regular HDR+. I can't tell the difference and HDR+ Enhanced takes longer to process.

After chatting with Google - online chat. I was told to leave HDR+ on most if the time to play it safe. You'll notice if you turn HDR off completely things look a little to light and fuzzy indoors, and with HDR+ Enhanced on all the time it looks to dark. Me personally I keep HDR+ on all the time except for night shots and landscapes. They said you don't have to do to much thinking because it has a form of artificial intelligence built into the camera so even with HDR+ on in the wrong situation it turns it off. 99% of the time it will think for you, kind of like Bixby or Google Assistant. It's way ahead of its time. Even with The Pixel 4 coming out in 2 weeks. The Google pixel 3a XL's camera still ranks #1 today!
