Google Camera – Details
Google has enhanced the camera performance on Pixel 3 (XL) with the help of software implementations & artificial intelligence (AI). The smartphone has only a single lens camera, and still, the phone captures impressive shots. One of the best examples is the Night Sight mode feature for low-light photography, which efficiently manages to capture great shots in Night. Basically, the app captures around 15 shots at the time and accordingly create the best shot out of it, by combining the details.
