Being a user, you might already know that the special chipset helps in enhancing the quality of photos through HDR+ feature. Went live for third party apps in February last year, it takes 10 consecutive shots and averages them for escalating the standard.
Everything was going fine until Pixel Visual Core had suddenly stopped working for many. Apparently, the most affected ones are Pixel 2/ 2 XL. However, there are some Pixel 3 series users, suffering from the same problem as well.
