Whatever you think about the size of the Pixel 9 series’ camera bump, Google’s head of Pixel 9 design, Claude Zellweger, isn’t one to apologize for it. Unsurprisingly, Zellweger supports the device’s prominent camera bump. But the statement has sparked debate in the tech community about the balance between aesthetics and functionality in smartphone design.

Zellweger, known for his innovative approach to product design, stressed that the large camera bump is a necessary feature to accommodate advanced imaging technology. "We prioritize camera performance," Zellweger said in a recent interview. "The bump allows us to integrate larger sensors and more advanced optics."
The decision to retain a substantial camera bump bucks the trend of slimmer, thinner smartphones. However, Zellweger argues that the design choice reflects Google's commitment to delivering superior photo and video capabilities to Pixel users.
Industry experts have weighed in on this design philosophy. Sarah Lee, a renowned tech analyst, noted, "Google is clearly betting on camera quality as a key differentiator in the highly competitive smartphone market."
