Google shown to be arbitrarily limiting new Pro camera controls to the Pixel 8 Pro

[Redaktion]

Google may have brought manual camera controls to its stock camera app, but it limits their usage to just the Pixel 8 Pro. It turns out that this is nothing more than a software restriction, with the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro also shown to be capable of offering manual ISO, shutter speed and focus options within the latest version of the Google Camera app.

How is this thing even "pro"?
Took away 3.5 jack, which is not only for earphones, but other useful "pro" accesories.
And no replacable battery nor storage extension, say microSD.
But you have pretty useles thermometer... Like why, why?
And yes, you can retain ip68 water resistance with all of these things I mentioned.

And limiting functionality by software is Apple/Tesla BS move, I expected better from Google.
