60 FPS Camera 1080

[bunklung]

Greetings from the Pixel 3 forum. My brand new $850 phone does not record in 1080/60fps mode. I have two options Auto and 30fps. The default is auto mode, but it's clearly not recording or showing the preview in 60fps. On my Pixel 2 I have an option for 30 or 60fps.

Can someone please test this on the 3 XL? Thanks.

You have to turn on the auto FPS option to get up to 60 frames per second. When I test it in 1080P the highest I have seen her go so far is 50 frames per second with the lowest being 5 frames per second. But it is not a constant 60 frames per second.

I don't feel like the speed is as good as 2 XL, slightly annoyed.

I tried real hard and could never get above 40. I think we have a hardware issue/limitation here being covered up with an "auto" setting. 60fps isn't this hard to do on an $850 phone. I *think* this might be going back.

I am so bummed out. I really wanted to like this phone. I can't justify $850 for this phone and not get a top of the line camera. I am also not going to wait a year for them to "fix" this or find out this is "working as intended" or "not feasible" to fix.

RMA created. I'll keep my Pixel 2 another year.

For everyone else I put in a bug report. Please star this and provide feedback:
