This is one of the best implementations of AI that we've seen, and I could see other companies trying to copy this feature. With a tap of the button at the top of the display, I selected Screen Call and Google Assistant got to work, introducing herself and then taking down every word as I spoke.

So how does the Pixel 3 XL camera perform otherwise? Very, very well. Turn on Night Sight, and the result is a bold and bright pic. Normal camera mode picked out some detail in the below selfie but the overall quality is dark. Night Sight also works wonders with the front cameras. The results are simply amazing, as you can see in the above photos we took with Night Sight mode on and off in our dark video lab. The phone captures a succession of frames to simulate a long exposure time, and then stitches those frames together to return color to spaces where it's been lost with the help of AI. To test low-light performance, we tried the Pixel 3 XL's Night Sight Mode. The camera is smart enough to reframe the photo and fill in the details. I shot a photo of text on a wall from across the room, and I could easily make out the words, even though the Pixel 3 XL doesn't technically have an optical zoom. I just swiped up and could easily see which pics Google had picked out.
This worked well when I snapped a photo of my colleague, Adam. A new Top Shot feature on the 12-MP rear camera automatically snaps a bunch of photos in succession and attempts to choose the right one.
