With the Google Camera app version 7.5, which is now there on Android 11 beta release, you will see file names appear as PXL_time stamp_file number, as per a report by Android Police. Now, Google wants to reserve 'PXL' instead of 'IMG' for photos clicked on Pixel phones. So, photos are usually named- IMG_file number_time stamp- by default.

Google Pixel phones are known for their great cameras. A set of experiments in pixel sorting using Processing - Seed Sorting.
