Then there’s the tailor-made features like Duplex and call screening, alongside Google Lens and other AI-based functionality.

The original Pixel and Pixel XL have already been updated to Android Pie, too. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have already been updated to Pie. For instance, Android Oreo, released in August 2017, is now on only 15% of devices over a year later (which may also be down to Oreo not supporting older devices). The difference between quick and immediate updates may be a matter of months -yes, months - from some OEMs. The most obvious example is that Pixel owners get OS updates first and pretty much instantly - including security updates. Made By Google is an attempt to rectify this with its Pixel brand, and to some extent it works. Android, on the other hand, has to be retrofitted onto lots of different devices.

One of the reasons people often say Apple’s products ‘just work’ is because the hardware and software are designed in tandem. ‘Made by Google’ has more depth to it than a seemingly meaningless slogan. Both screen calling and Duplex will be coming to Pixel phones first. Indeed, it’s archetypal of how Google sees its hardware, a gateway to innovative services - a true personal assistant, rather than just a audible search engine. If you don’t think too deeply about deceiving callers with a human-sounding AI, and you haven’t consumed anything produced by Charlie Brooker, then this is a very clever piece of kit. Not by sending them straight to voicemail, rather the AI speaking to the caller and transcribing the phone call to you in real time, so you can determine if it’s spam or genuine without ever answering the call. The Super Res Zoom will need to be tested properly because digital zooms are rarely - if never - good.Īs part of its slightly concerning Duplex software, Google has introduced a call screening feature that will intercept spam calls. Night Shot, on the other hand, improves low-light photography (a mini arms race between Apple, Samsung and Google) thanks to larger micron pixels and optical image stabilization. Top shot provides you with more than one frame to choose from when you take a picture, and even suggests the best shot.

For example, the visual core it developed with intel has received an upgrade and boasts new features like, Top Shot and Night Sight. The question is though, why is it only available on the selfie camera?Įlsewhere, Google has tweaked and refined what was already last year’s best-in-class camera. Simply having the option adds functionality you didn’t know you needed. Google has very kindly presumed you have friends and adorned the front of the Pixel 3XL with two camera sensors, one of which is a wide angle lens. I suspect this will be quietly popular, as it was on the LG G5 back in 2016. I’d chose a (slightly) worse camera on the Pixel with Google AI over a better camera without the service.

It’s the service that makes Google’s camera, not necessarily the hardware. The AI that auto tags images and makes them searchable is good, but shared albums, auto editing pictures, auto deleting duplicates and more is part of what sets Pixel phones apart from the herd.

It has also created additional functionality that improves the experience of smartphone photography.
