Triggering the selfie camera timer with your hand is missing here, and so is flipping between the front and back cameras with simple swipe gestures. The simplistic app isn’t as robust as Samsung and LG’s default camera apps. The Google Pixel 3 XL camera app doesn’t have everything we want. And Photobooth uses AI to automatically snap photos, incorporating the idea behind Google Clips right into your smartphone. Adjustable Portrait Blur allows you to change the amount of bokeh in post, and there’s a new color pop mode that isolates the background in black-and-white while leaving you in color. It can be pitch back out, and we'll still walk away with respectable photos thanks to this camera mode. This is why the Google Pixel 3 has become our favorite phone to use at nighttime. Night Sight does a remarkable up at amping up the brightness of low-light photos so you don’t need to use that aggressive, photo-ruining flash. You’re not missing out, despite what the specs say. It’s all a testament to Google’s insistence on a single-lens rear camera. Only the Huawei P20 Pro and its 3x zoom could rival what the Google Pixel 3 XL camera was capable of digitally. ![]() We found Super Res Zoom is be on par and sometimes better than the iPhone XS and Samsung Galaxy Note 9 telephoto lenses. And if you happen to use a smartphone tripod in which the handset is completely still? The camera simulates natural hand motion by intentionally ‘jiggling’, forcing the OIS module to move between frames, explains Google. It takes advantage of hand-motion in order to capture many frames in order to built a higher resolution (or super resolution) photo. ![]() Super Res Zoom is surprisingly clear for digital zoom, and the science behind it is fairly deep. It’s helpful, though, everything but the original photo is in lower resolution, so you may have some tough choices to make. This ends up being the Pixel 3 XL’s answer to Apple’s Live Photos with the ability to scrub through a small timeline to select a new keyframe. ![]() The camera is taking photos before and after you hit the shutter button, so you have access to fleeting moments in which you weren’t blinking or a car didn’t just pass in front of your subject. Top Shot, for example, is a new feature that allows you to select a new key photo when Motion Photos is turned on. We might have missed this photobomb had it not been for Top Shot. It’s great when it works, and we’re glad it’s here, but unlike the rest of the camera perks, this one doesn’t give you automatic perfection with each shot. If you’re taking photos as a couple, you will get in trouble for this. At the wrong angle – usually at lower angles – it will make you and your selfie partners’ shirts and upper bodies flare out with barrel distortion at the edges. Whether it’s with a bunch of friends or in front of a famous tall building, we loved being able fit more into a photo, even if the aperture dropped from f/1.8 to f/2.2 between the two cameras.īe warned: wielding a wide selfie camera takes work if you want flattering photos. Wider-angle ‘Group Selfies’ have their place, telling more about who you’re with or what you’re posing in front of. In some situations, the iPhone XS Max we used at the same time provided tighter, more intimate shots and a bit more natural skin smoothing. Of course, sometimes you want detail in selfies. We found that both normal and wide selfies (enabled with an on-screen slider bar) exhibited better HDR and less noise than Google’s competitors.
