Google Camera App on the Pixel 2 / 2XL Doesn't Leverage the Pixel Visual Core
If you thought that the subconscious prototype-processing chip called the Pixel Visual Core is at to the lowest degree partly to give thanks for the swell imaging chops of the Pixel two and the Pixel 2 Forty, think again. That'due south because according to Google's VP of product management, Brian Rakowski, Google's own photographic camera app doesn't actually leverage the power of the Pixel Visual Core to process images.
Rakowski had actually revealed this in an interview to FoneArena last November, when he was asked how the Pixel Visual Cadre helps with image processing on the second-generation Pixel smartphones. This is what he had to say:
"Turns out we do pretty sophisticated processing, optimising and tuning in the photographic camera app itself to go the maximum performance possible. We exercise ZSL and fast buffering to become fast HDR capture. And so we don't take advantage of the Pixel Visual Core, nosotros don't need to take reward of it".
While the interview, which discusses the then-newly-launched Pixel 2 devices in nifty detail, had slipped under the radar until now, it was revived yesterday after ArsTechnica'southward Ron Amadeo tweeted about Google reiterating to him that the Pixel two devices don't actually use the additional bit for the Camera app.
I got a fun correction from Google today: The Google Camera app does non use the Pixel Visual Core. Google'southward camera app doesn't employ Google's camera flake. Facebook and Snapchat are the first e'er uses of it.

It was developer Evan Munee (@emunee) who and then dug out the former Rakowski interview to let everyone know that Google had already revealed the anomaly last year itself.

In case yous're interested in seeing the Pixel Visual Cadre in action, here's an example:
Either way, Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat are said to be the first loftier-profile apps to have started using the chip's processing prowess.
