This is a very big deal. The camera has unequivocally been the Pixel’s biggest selling point, and the person leading it has left Google.

Not to say Levoy was single-handedly making it — I’m sure there are tons of very smart people there still — but a leader leaving is big. https://t.co/GONjM1logQ

New: Rick Osterloh wasn’t happy with the Pixel 4 even before it came out. Now, with the Pixel 4a, he’ll have a shot at redemption. Moving forward though, Pixel will be without its camera mastermind, Marc Levoy, who left in March. https://t.co/d7TeJVaLSb

Marc Levoy and Mario Queiroz have left Google's Pixel division?

Good. If ever a division needed shaking up, it's the Pixel team. Dull and underperforming, the Pixel needs new people looking after it, rather than skating by on the camera alone... AGAIN. https://t.co/P706dPZYLc

So you're saying the "remove the fence from the photo" effort shown at Google IO years ago is truly dead at this point, right?https://t.co/jzjDqMjlyj

When the Google exec in charge of building a phone has problems with the phone *at the time it goes on sale,* perhaps Google has a process problem.https://t.co/GoZxWipfAv @NickBastone

-In my Opinion: The Pixel brand by Google doesn't need to exist in its current form

Because Google doesn't know what they want their brand to be.https://t.co/Ag1aWDG5Bz
