On the back of the phones is a 12.2MP 28mm f/1.8 (35mm equiv.) dual-pixel camera. A new feature called Top Shot uses AI to capture alternate shots in HDR+ and then recommend the best one from the sequence, which you can flip through and select a photo from yourself.
The Pixel 3 XL’s AI-driven camera features include Night Sight for low-light photography, Super Res Zoom for enhanced digital zoom clarity, and Top Shot to select the best moment from a sequence of shots. It also uses a dedicated Pixel Visual Core chip for on-device processing and leverages computational photography to deliver high-quality images without relying on multiple physical lenses, as highlighted in its impressive low-light and zoom capabilities
-
Night Sight:By combining multiple exposures and using AI, this feature captures natural-looking photos with less noise and more detail in dark environments, even without a flash.
-
Super Res Zoom:This AI feature uses computational photography, similar to that used in astronomy, to provide sharper details when zooming digitally, essentially “reframing” the photo to fill in missing information.
-
Top Shot:The AI analyzes bursts of photos taken in HDR+ and recommends the best one, allowing users to select the perfect shot from a sequence.
-
Computational Photography:The Pixel 3 XL’s camera is described as “smart” and “intelligent,” relying heavily on software and AI to process images, which helps to create crisp, vibrant photos.
-
A dedicated chip for processing AI and machine learning tasks, allowing for complex operations like HDR+ and Night Sight to be performed efficiently on the device.
-
While not strictly AI, this fast autofocus technology works in conjunction with the AI to ensure quick and accurate focusing for your shots.
-
Google Tensor (Later Models):Although not present in the Pixel 3 XL, it’s worth noting that later Pixel phones utilize the even more powerful Google Tensor chip for advanced AI-driven features like Photo Unblur and Magic Eraser.
