Google Flow's official X account says Nano Banana 2.1 renders difficult textures such as dust in light, skin pores, water droplets and backlit petals, with the stills made by the image model and motion added by Veo 3.1.

A later post from the same account says the model produces highly detailed images, and its supporting tests show 4K native outputs with no upscaling of any kind. The examples come from creator @cfryant's thread, which the post cites as evidence.

All of these claims come from Google Flow's own posts and sample outputs. No independent testing or side-by-side comparison has been reported.
