x0l1tud4 There is nothing special about Google's ISP in their tensor SoC compared to that of say Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 or Gen 6.
I have both Pixel 9 Pro XL and Vivo X300 Ultra and the latter destroys google in terms of image quality, dynamic range, noise, colour accuracy, resolved true resolution. No comparison. Both phones cost $1000 when new.
What Google has done well is trained their TPU algos (and if you upload all your photos to Google also their servers) exhaustively on millions of images. This AI training makes their AI based image smoothing and fill-in better than most. But it is not the superiority of the ISP, nor are Google's lenses or sensors better. In fact, they are several generations behind the best. When outputting raw data from the Pixerl's sensors w/o Google's AI tricks, the results are obvious.
It remains to be seen how well Motorola Signature series perform, but if the results from applications like Motion Cam Pro on older Motorola models are anything to go by, the unedited raw results from Motorola phones will probably surprise many people in a positive way.
Yet, the proof is in the (eating of the) pudding. So, time will tell.
I can't wait to switch to Motorola, if the GoS partnership goes well, the first couple of Motorola GOS compatible phones are good quality and the updates keep rolling without any issues (unlike with Google as of late). I have a separate camera already that is better than anything Google offers, so I don't mind if Motorola's phone don't have the absolute best photo / video quality.
Security and privacy come first. That's the main goal of GoS. Not being the best in photo or video quality.
