So, Pixel 7a's ultrawide camera has PDAF unlike the 7 or 6a. But reviews said it's missing the dedicated Macro mode of Pixel 7 Pro.
But how close can it actually focus? Has someone who has the phone already tried?
Most phones with ultrawide cameras with autofocus can actually focus at like 3 cm distance (maybe all except for Sony), so I'm wandering if this one can too, or if it's like Sony and it can only focus from like 10 cm.
Thanks!

I know, but this information is for the 64MP main camera.
They have a mistake there.

I have the 7a here and only the 64MP main camera has autofocus.
Not the ultrawide or the front camera.

I checked it again, and the autofocus is written only for the ultrawide. So it indeed seems it's just written in a wrong place.
Too bad. I hoped there would be finally an upper midrange compact phone with macro capability. Now there's only Motorola...

No macro, but cropping to a certain level is still somewhat usable: 1st pick regular x1 size and 2nd was enlarged/cropped at about 40%.
