cameras with differential

It is notorious how much Google has dedicated the cameras of the new devices to make this one of the strengths of its new smartphones. With that, the company brought a series of resources to make them even more attractive. One of them is Top Shot, where the camera is able to capture images before and after the user clicks on the button to take a photo and thus has a greater number of options to choose the one that guarantees the best capture.

Through artificial intelligence, the camera is able to analyze and choose among these images which one has no errors, in addition to joining them so that they have an even better quality. To do this, she can investigate and identify patterns such as smiles, open eyes and whether every person (or person) in the photo is looking towards the camera lens.

The Night Sight mode makes the camera choose the best colors and the best brightness and contrast so that the photos are not influenced by the lack of light, even promising to replace the flash.
