<h3>Google Nexuses/Pixels</h3>

<p>In general, Google Nexuses have worked well for Open Camera. Firstly because Google provide good support for their own
        Android camera API, both old and Camera2 (as you'd hope!) - and they use it for their own Google camera. Secondly because
        I've owned several Nexuses (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Nexus 6), and so have been able to test Open Camera against them.</p>

<p>In theory all this should apply to the Pixels, but I haven't been able to test - though from what people tell me, things
seem to work including Camera2 features. Open Camera also supports Google's HDR+ mode on the Pixels with Pixel Visual Core.</p>
<p>Similarly Camera2 API works well on the Pixel 6 Pro, although some minor issues (manual white balance doesn't work, some
        of the Video picture profiles don't work). Open Camera also supports Google's HDR+ mode on the Pixels with Pixel Visual Core
        (including the Pixel 6 Pro). As of Open Camera 1.50, Night Sight on the Pixel 6 Pro is available via the photo mode X-Night.
