Next All of the samples published were taken on the Pixel 5, though Google claims the new functionality is compatible with phones as old as the Pixel 2. We aren't sure if Google has done any specific tuning to accommodate the Pixel's machine learning-augmented camera for these underwater smartphone cases, but I wouldn't be surprised if the company did. Underwater photography surely imposes its own challenges when it comes to processing. While a close crop does show a little distortion, and the images are a tiny bit soft (especially outside the center), detail and contrast are otherwise pretty good. In the photo of what appears to be a orbicular batfish (#3), individual scales stand out prominently, and even subtle striations on the tail of the bluecheek butterflyfish (#4) are easily visible. Color balance is also surprisingly good — that's a hard thing to hit underwater.
