The Pixel 3 Uses A.I. Better Than Any Smartphone Yet

There are few smartphone annoyances worse than your device not doing what you expect it to. When you tap the shutter button, but the camera fires a split second too late. When you're in the middle of an important meeting, but your phone is blowing up with notifications. In its new Pixel 3 smartphone, which debuted Tuesday, Google has added a number of subtle A.I.-powered features that make the device react not just more speedily but in the way you thought your phone should work all along. The camera is perhaps the most dramatic place you can see Google's A.I. at work.
