Google is the only major phone manufacturer that still refuses to implement a dual camera in its own products, even after launch Google Pixel 3, the American company also explained why it still considers these components useless. Those at Google are firmly convinced that the artificial intelligence implemented in their phones is so good that there is no need to implement a secondary image sensor to get great pictures.
Google, like all phone manufacturers, has implemented in its own products a function that allows the recording of pictures with depth effect, bokeh, succeeding in this without integrating a dual camera in its phones. How did Google manage to do this? Well, using the artificial intelligence that it has developed and improved over the years, the American company is confident that it can easily replace a second image sensor for phones.
Google: Dual Cameras are USELESS in Phones
Google has phones with excellent cameras, they succeed in surpassing both Apple and Samsung phones in terms of the quality of photos recorded by users. With Huawei, it is still not certain that the Google Pixel 3 is superior, but even so, the people from Google managed to demonstrate that artificial intelligence is sufficient to replace real components, at least for recording photos with depth effect.
"There's also the fact that the Google Pixel 3 still has a single-lens rear camera, while all of its high-end smartphone competitors have gone with double or even triple the number of lenses. Google argues it doesn't really need another lens—"we found it was unnecessary," Queiroz says—because of the company's expertise in machine learning technology. Pixel phones extract enough depth information already from the camera's dual-pixel sensor, and then run machine learning algorithms, trained on over a million photos, to produce the desired photo effect."
Google did implement a dual front camera in the Pixel 3 series, but it claims that it did so only to give people the opportunity to take pictures without a selfie stick, something that cannot be replaced with artificial intelligence. Those from Google produce phones that are thought "with a head", even better than those from Apple or Samsung, from some points of view, but for now they are not as popular among ordinary people.
