Digital zoom is theoretically better than cropping later. Due to computational photography, in theory, the phone is doing more work to make the zoomed in photo look good with what's in the previewer. As opposed to taking a base resolution photo and cropping later, the computational photography was optimized for the full shot, not for the zoomed in shot.

I love how creative hobby’s have so much in common when it comes to execution. I am a music producer student and I would compare it like this: to get a good sound you need to know what microphone works for different instruments, the same as you need different lenses and cameras to capture different moments. After that comes the quality of the space around you, in music it’s about acoustics and how the sound bounces on the walls and objects, same as you need to think about lighting and I would assume other things as well.

Thank you very much for the informative and motivational content. I had a lot of "by-proxy" issues with my image (i.e. family members literally praying me to remove pictures of myself from social networks as they were looking "awful and distorted" - btw they were just average-looking, un-photoshopped selfies) and after many years I am now starting to befriend the camera. It's not easy and on some days I just feel meh, but I realized three fundamental points: 1. I am prettier than I had been trained to think, 2. I don't have to be pretty 100% of the time, and 3. I have the exact same right to exist whether I am or not.

Nice. My Google Pixel 6 Pro has a separate 4x zoom lens which is about 100mm. It's a bit of a jump from 1x (24mm) and there's nothing in between unless you digitally zoom but I don't really like that (even though there's a 2x option, it's just using the 1x lens and zoomed in). I prefer 85mm lenses on mirrorless/DSLRs so I hope phone cameras would start adding that focal length in the future.

So you can only use the timer and volume-key trigger to make this (remotely) convenient to use for selfies.

Depends on the phone, but a lot of phones downscale the output image, so zooming before taking the picture produces a clearer, higher res image than cropping in post. E.g. my phone has a 108 MP sensor, but outputs 12 MP images, so I get way more detail when I zoom in first.

This reminds me of the time when phones used to have 2 front cameras with different focal lengths. One for narrow shots and another for wide. I think phone manufacturers should go back to that. Instead of adding macro and wide lenses in the back, adding an extra lens in the front is what more users would prefer (I think).
