Hello, first of all I would like to apologize for my English. I created this thread to know if it would be possible to bring the new features of the google pixel xl 2 cameras to our google pixel because according to google everything was done through software, would there be any way to bring it to our phone?
What features exactly? The DoF/Bokeh is not only software, it has to do with the dual pixel tech Pixel 2 has, it's hardware, even it's somehow implemented on Pixel 2016s it'll never be as good.
Don't know of any other strikingly different feature other than that.

There's an app somewhere on here that has the pixel 2 camera APK. If you're on the 8.1 DP 1, you have to clone the APK and install it to run alongside the stock camera, because it was originally made for 8.0.

Hi, does anyone know if the pixel 2 camera apk its working in the beta?
yup
The stock camera app on P Beta doesn't have Portrait mode, however NX Camera is working just fine with Portrait mode enabled
I'm investigating the Pixel XL - but for my mom - not me. (I have a Pixel 3a that is my daily driver; currently running RC2 of Q quite happily.) The reason why has to do with the quality of pictures the 3a is kicking out - despite that it lacks the hardware of previous pictures (especially the Pixel 3). I didn't have the camera in mind when I asked for a 3a as a birthday present; therefore, the PQ has both of us rather shocked. Now Mom wants a new (er) phone, and the XL version of the original Pixel is on the radar (for price reasons). How good is the camera of Google's Pixel XL?

You can try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/google-camera-mods/gcam-google-pixel-1-2-3-t3875663
All Google phones have almost the same camera quality. Pixel 3 are the best (of course), but only for trained eyes.
Hi! Is there a way to get the feature of Pixel 3, such as a ROM, or apks on the OG Pixel XL?
A lot of features that are not hardware dependant will come to the older pixels without needing to make any changes. Some will remain a pixel 3 exclusive for a month or so but will eventually roll out to older pixels. Here is a great article about it.

Hello,
I have been using different pixel phones ( Pixel 2, 3, 4) before moving to hauwei phones and now i have sold my huawei and thinking to get back on Pixel but Pixel phone did not change much from last 3 genertaion. I did not like the screen on any Pixel to be honest i.e they all had low brightness and was not as good as samsung/Huawei .Camera, sound, software, battery of Pixel 2 XL is as good as pixel 4/4 XL so i dont see any reason why i should spend more on 3 and 4 when i am getting same experience on cheaper Pixel 2/3a/4a ? Would new pixel 5 or 5S would be any different ? Yes Google software processing is great but why they are not brining latest camera hardware ..apple was behind google in camera department but now they are going head to head if not better . I like onplus software and others specs but camera is not best which is important for me so whats ur opinions ?
Hi all,
Really enjoying using the Pixel XL.
Was wondering if the Original Quality Google Photos is working on non stock roms such as Lineage OS?
Was hoping to jump onto Android 11 but still getting the awesome Google Photos upload feature?
Thanks!

I recently picked up a pre-owned OG Pixel (did had OG Pixel XL - Google Ed. before, sold it) and managed to root it ("PVT" build) after unlocking bootloader (whew) and got LOS 17.1 installed (Android 10) - not running Magisk (yet ... might not need to) According to Play Store, device status is not certified but still - Google Photos recognized mine as Pixel 3 now. "You're backing up in Original quality, which is free & unlimited for Pixel 3 until Feb 1, 2022"
I have another one, Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite running a custom rom, device status is certified and Google Photos "Backing up in Storage saver from Pixel is free and unlimited"
Same with me.
Pixel XL (original owner), and under photos/manage storage it states, "you're backing up in original quality, which is free& unlimited for pixel 3 until Feb 1 2022".
Device runs LOS with magisk.
I assume this is new since 6/1, but don't know for sure.
Is it possible for the developer preview/beta version of Android 14 to be ported onto Pixel 3 XL from a more recent Pixel device (e.g. Pixel 7 or Pixel 6 or Pixel 5)? It would be greatly appreciated

I believe the Pixel 3 should be capable of running a Generic System Image, so it would be unnecessary to port the firmware. It doesn't look like a GSI is available for 14DP yet but I imagine you could potentially use the system.img out of the update package for a more recent Pixel.
See this thread.
