A long-time Pixel user expresses frustration with the Pixel 9 Pro XL's camera, which increasingly desaturates and cools photos, especially in warm, dark environments, despite attempts to adjust settings.

The user calls for a firmware or app update from Google to restore true-to-life photo quality.
