Google Pixel 4 May Have 16MP Telephoto Lens

Last month, Google unexpectedly shared the rough design of the upcoming Pixel 4's back which shut off all the leaks while also confirming the presence of dual rear cameras - a first for the line.




During this time you may have been wondering whether the secondary unit in there would be telephoto or ultra-wide since for some reason Google can't get with the times and just have both of those options alongside a normal wide lens in a triple arrangement.

The answer seems to be telephoto, which won't be great news for fans of ultra-wide shots. The presence of a 16 MP telephoto lens has been revealed through the code in the Google Camera app, which is what you use to snap pictures on a Pixel of course. Here are some pictures of the code which shows the string "telephoto" and the resolution of the picture which points to 16 MP :

The developers of the Google Camera app have already started to work on supporting the Pixel 4, with multiple references found throughout the code. A front IR sensor will be new too on the next-gen Pixel, which will aid in the new face authentication feature recently uncovered in the latest Android Q Beta.
