Until that’s out, I’d wait on buying it.Įven though it’s older now and we’ve already covered it, I still can’t give enough love to the classic 18mm wide angle lens.

Because the Moment Pro Camera app is a bit behind its iOS counterpart, it lacks the ability to save files with the “desqueezed” look that actually makes footage look correct.

The problem with the anamorphic lens at the moment, though, is the fact that it doesn’t work quite right with Android yet. It also gets those sweet lens flares so you can get your JJ Abrams on. The effect is usually really expensive and requires special hardware, but Moment has managed to make a simple smartphone lens that brings it to your device. It’s designed to get that widescreen, letterboxed look for films. If you’re a video lover, the Anamorphic lens probably gets you pretty excited. In one of the examples below my colleague Stephen Hall stands in front of some LED lighting, and you can see how the lens had a bit of trouble with that. The Tele 58mm lens still can’t get very close to a subject without having trouble with focus, and bright light in the background can cause issues too. It does that job very well too, making subjects look very sharp and almost hitting portrait mode results without the need to switch modes.

Pictured in the header above, this lens is designed to zoom in on the subject and create a lot of bokeh. Moment has produced a lot of great new lenses since we’ve last done any hands-on coverage, and the new Tele 58mm lens is a great option for taking stills. For that reason, I simply can’t recommend that variant, but know that all three are improved greatly over the cases available in past years. A week going in and out of a pair of blue jeans left an irreversible blue tint on the case. That white case is probably the best looking of the bunch, but it stains way too easily. There’s all black option which has a canvas backing, a black case with a walnut insert (my personal favorite), and a white case with a leather insert.

There are three variants of the case too. It better covers the entire device and has better buttons too. Now, the company has made some major improvements to its case. The quality was lacking and, at least in my case, I often only wanted to use that case if I knew I was going to use the lens. Frankly, the cases used in previous years just weren’t very good. Moment Cases for Google Pixel 3įirst and foremost, I want to take a second to thank Moment for hearing the cries of users regarding the cases it uses. Moment produces some excellent glass to go with any smartphone, but since that first review alongside the Pixel 2 XL, a lot has changed in terms of what lenses you can buy and also, arguably more importantly, the case it connects with. We’ve covered Moment’s gear in the past here on 9to5Google, and the results still speak for themselves. That’s where Moment lenses come in – here’s what they can do with the Google Pixel 3. However, it still lacks a lot of the flexibility of a traditional camera. Between HDR+ and the black magic that is Night Sight, it’s unparalleled and is a huge reason why the phone sits in my pocket daily. Google’s work in smartphone cameras is quite simply amazing.
