To play a song, a YouTube video, or find out any obscure fact you’d want to settle an argument, all you have to do is say “Hey Google.” You can ostensibly ask Siri to do all of these things for you too, but trust us, it won’t work as well.Īs good as the Google Pixel 3 is, it’s still the underdog.
While in the stand it can act as a photo frame, an alarm that wakes you with a slowly brightening screen, and a smart assistant. While the Pixel 3 has a new suite of wellness features like timers for how much you want to spend on certain apps and turning your screen to grayscale towards the end of the day, the best way Google gets you to detach is with the Pixel Stand, a $79 accessory that essentially transforms your phone into a Google Home smart speaker. Like the iPhone XS, it can add or reduce background blur and change focal points, but the Pixel 3 just nails the shot most of the time, where the iPhone XS has trouble detecting what’s supposed to be clear and what’s supposed to be blurry too often. A new feature that will be rolled out later in the year called “Night Sight” captures impressive photos in even the lowest of lighting, based on the samples that were shown to me. The "Top Shot" feature can automatically trigger a burst of photos and choose the best shot for you so you don’t have to flip through dozens of options.
PIXEL 3 JUST CAUSE 4 IMAGES SOFTWARE
And it's not the hardware-it has a 12.2 megapixel camera, and an impressive wide-angle selfie cam, that gives you 184% more room than the iPhone XS-but the software that makes all the difference.
But when it comes to everyday usefulness, Google’s technical prowess truly shines in the imaging and smart assistant departments.Īs was the case with the Pixel 2, the Pixel 3’s camera is the best there is on a phone. It's a neat parlor trick that seems to be the seed for a Black Mirror episode. Yes, similar to the auto-responses that Google now provides when you reply to a message on Gmail, the Pixel 3 is able to respond to calls for you with canned responses so you don’t actually have to talk to a robocaller, debt collector, or the urgent call from the school nurse while you’re playing Fortnite.
