When all phone makers are going for dual, triple or even quad lens, Google is still maintaining its Pixel phone with just one rear lens.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the few days with the phone, I am able to attest the quality of the single rear camera. The software is able to manipulate the background to give a bokeh feel.<\/p>\n<p>However, as of this testing, the <strong>Night Shot<\/strong> is still not ready. So, I cannot review how good it is. On the UI, I am not sure why Google &#8220;hide&#8221; the HDR+ mode inside the advance menu. You have to go into the menu to activate it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Shot<\/strong> is something useful and fast. You don&#8217;t know how much you need it until you took a lousy picture. With Top Shot, you can &#8220;save&#8221; the picture by selecting from the group of them, thanks to Top Shot.<\/p>\n<p>On the hardware part of the phone, Wireless Charging and\u00a0IP68 water and dust resistant are good updates. It is too early to say if I like the phone or not. Will have to get used to the notch and the size of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>I will also be reviewing the Pixel Stand on another post. Stay tuned. Let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Google Pixel 3 was launched in Singapore recently.
