Search Google Photos by Device

Overview

I'm trying to search my photos in Google Photos by device name (iPhone or Google Pixel or ...), but it's weird. I have a Google Pixel 5, when I try to search for Google Pixel 5, I can get all the photos taken by it, but when I just type Google Pixel to search, it only shows partial photos. I'm not sure about Google's search algorithm, I just record my test results.

  • Apple iPhone 6
  • Apple iPhone 11
  • Apple iPhone XS Max
  • Apple iPad (6th generation)
  • Google Pixel 5
  • Samsung SM-M135F (Samsung Galaxy M13)
  • Samsung SM-G935F (Samsung S7 edge)
  • Panasonic DMC-G6
  • Panasonic DMC-G2
  • SONY DSC-RX100M5A

By the way, you can use Apple, Google, and Samsung to find their devices, but it will search for some other photos. For example, if your photo is a Samsung refrigerator, it will be included in the search results.
