Pixel 3 Camera vs. Pixel 4 in 2020

Lots of Pixel 3 vs. Pixel 4 camera comparisons back around release time last year.

Since then there have been software updates and a new GCAM version (I think) on the 3 so I am wondering how (other lenses aside) the image quality stacks up between the 2 in 2020? On paper they have the same sensor (maybe a different lens) so in theory quality should be very similar?

Oh, I'm pretty sure that the Pixel 3 camera in the Pixel 4 cameras are damn near identical! Other than the whole telephoto lens on the Pixel 4s, it's identical.

In theory that is what I thought. Most comparisons from late last year though had the Pixel 4 looking slightly better across the board, this was however with the Pixel 3 on older software and an older GCAM version. I have not been able to find a more up to date comparison.
