What’s wrong with the Pixel Camera’s panorama mode?

I really like Google Pixel phones. I like them mostly because of the clean Android and long software updates. They have many good features, but there is one problem that I don’t understand.

It’s about the panorama mode in Google Camera. The quality of the final photo is very low. On my Pixel 4, the vertical resolution is only around 1700 pixels.

I looked online and found out this is not only my problem. It seems like this has been happening even on newer models like the Pixel 8 Pro.

My current Google Camera version is 8.7.250.494820638.44, and I also tried the newer version 9.2.113.604778888.19 (GCam), but the result was the same.

Some proofs:

• Comparison between Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro – link . Look at the dimensions tab of Pixel 8 Pro photos — it’s only 1280 pixels vertically.

I'm sad about this, but I hope Google will fix it in the future. @Google, right?
