Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Announced: Google Has Serious Game

Inside, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chop, 4GB of RAM, and 64 and 128GB storage options. As you’d expect, both Google phones feature Android 9 Pie, which is the latest version available right now. And for the first time ever in a Pixel phone, Google has added wireless charging, which will work with a new accessory called Pixel Stand ($79).

Google is once again relying on a single camera, a 12.2MP sensor driven by the company’s terrific Software. The Pixel 2 still features arguably the market’s best mobile camera, so we’re expecting big things from the new shooter, which now supports several new features.

One of the new features is called Top Shot, capturing frames before and after an image is shot to combine them into the best shot. Along with Google’s Visual Core, Google’s machine learning will then create the best image possible, taking into account smile, eyes, and more. If you want to change the image manually, you can easily do that.

The Pixel 3 and 3 XL will also support subject tracking auto focus, super res zoom, and photobooth, using Google’s algorithms to snap hands-free pictures when it recognizing users are smiling, making a funny face, and even winking.

Google also talked about Night Sight, which is a new feature designed for low light photos. According to Google, it will produce pictures that will trump anything on the market, essentially negating the need for a flash.

Google also highlighting the Pixel 3 and 3 XL’s front-facing camera, which features both telephoto and wide-angle lenses, allowing users to more easily take portrait photos and group selfies.

The camera app itself also features a redesign with an interface that allows users to more easily switch between different shooting modes. Before, Google required users to jump into a menu to access other shooting modes. It was a more cumbersome solution compared to today’s redesign.
