Here's all the new stuff Google's Pixel 3 phone cameras can do

The Pixel 2 had arguably the best smartphone camera on the market, but Google wants to make sure it keeps that lead. As such, during its Pixel unveiling today, it introduced a raft of new camera features for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL smartphones, including an improved zoom, wider angle camera, smile and blink detection, bokeh control and more -- all with just a single lens on the back. The quality is apparently good enough for Terrence Malick, who shot a video that was featured at the event, so it should be good enough for the rest of us.

Some of those features are helped with the fresh hardware, to be sure. There's a brand new 12.2-megapixel sensor on the back, with a sharper wide-angle lens to allow for zooming. On the front, you get a pair of wide-angle lenses, letting you adjust the zoom level via a slider. However, most of the heavy lifting is done by Google's AI, which can merge multiple photos for zooming and low light or pick the best photo from a sequence.
