<p>On 6th and 7th generation Pixels, Google Camera is a privileged app on the
|
||||||
|
stock Pixel OS and has privileged access to Tensor SoC hardware acceleration
|
||||||
|
unavailable to regular apps. Since it's a regular sandboxed app on GrapheneOS,
|
||||||
|
it has to use more software processing. It captures photos just as quickly but
|
||||||
|
takes longer to process them after capturing. It doesn't lose any features or
|
||||||
|
any image quality from lack of privileged access. Since several photos can be
|
||||||
|
queued up for processing, this is only noticeable if you try to quickly take
|
||||||
|
multiple pictures without a couple seconds for it to process them. One special
|
||||||
|
case is Portrait mode on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro which requires a lot of
|
||||||
|
time to process each picture without the privileged hardware acceleration and
|
||||||
|
is therefore very noticeable because after a few shots, you'll need to wait a
|
||||||
|
while for the slow software processing. Google has acknowledged this as an
|
||||||
|
issue and is working on improving it. There have been major improvements in
|
||||||
|
recent Google Camera releases. We're considering providing a toggle for users
|
||||||
|
to choose to give privileged access to Google Camera.</p>
