One of the most intriguing and persistent Google Pixel 10 series rumors<\/a> is that the base Pixel 10 could finally get a telephoto camera. This should theoretically enable much-improved camera zoom without splashing out on a Pro phone.<\/p>\n I personally welcome this news, but do readers feel the same? We ran polls on the website<\/a>, our Twitter page<\/a>, and our YouTube channel<\/a>. The results are finally in, and here\u2019s how you voted.<\/p>\n Do you want the Pixel 10 to have a zoom camera?<\/p>\n \ufeff<\/p>\n The results were clear across all three polls. A massive 66.6% of Twitter respondents said they \u201cabsolutely\u201d wanted a telephoto camera<\/a> on the Google Pixel 10. Meanwhile, 61% of website respondents voted this way, while 59% of YouTube voters wanted a zoom camera on the standard Pixel 10.<\/p>\n YouTube user @El_Many91 feels that a tele camera should be a given after a certain price point:<\/p>\n In my opinion every phone above $700 needs to have a telephoto camera at least.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cNo one ever uses the macro lens. Everyone alive would benefit from a zoom lens, they should be standard,\u201d added fellow YouTube user @YNWA-u2d.<\/p>\n User @luca83439 cited his own camera habits as a reason why he wanted a tele camera on the Pixel 10:<\/p>\n I honestly use the zoom camera way more than the ultrawide<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Many polled users wanted a telephoto camera but didn\u2019t want a price change. Roughly 35% of surveyed website users voted this way, followed by 33% of YouTube respondents, and 25.7% of polled Twitter followers.<\/p>\n Only a few people didn\u2019t want a telephoto camera on the base Pixel phone. Roughly 8% of YouTube respondents, 7.8% of polled Twitter users, and 4% of surveyed website readers voted against a zoom camera.<\/p>\n User @This_man500 was one of the few but vocal minority in this camp:<\/p>\n I don\u2019t care about camera tech in the slightest. Just get rid of the stupid table wobbling bumps. If that means crap cameras, so be it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n These results reveal a strong appetite for a telephoto camera on the vanilla Pixel phone. In fact, over 90% of respondents in each poll expressed some interest in a telephoto camera on the base model. This also broadly lines up with colleague Rita El-Khoury\u2019s assertion that almost everyone wanted a zoom camera on their phone<\/a>, even if they didn\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n The base Pixel 10 is tipped to get an 11MP telephoto camera. There\u2019s no word on the focal length, but we\u2019re guessing it could be a 5x camera in line with the company\u2019s foldable phones. So readers might get their wish next month.<\/p>\n Got a tip? Talk to us!<\/b>\u00a0Email our staff at\u00a0news@androidauthority.com<\/a>.
