Trade in your cell phone. But to consider the Pixel 3 is to consider its software above anything else.
A feature like Photobooth, borrowed from the Google Clips camera, auto-captures a series of selfies for you. Top Shot is another another AI-powered tool, one that more than one Google worker told me was the most significant feature of the new camera.
Top Shot is supposed to select the best shot of all of the frames captured in a motion photo—the shot where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera with their eyes are open, and where nobody has walked into the frame. But every time I took a motion photo, I went to the "film strip" of stills below the photo and there were no Top Shot suggestions in sight.
With Super Res Zoom on the new Pixel 3, you can zoom in on objects far away and expect a crisper image. Pixel 2 doesn't have "Super Res Zoom," but here's a similar photo captured with the Pixel 2.
Other aspects of the new camera showed notable improvements. Even without the Night Sight feature onboard, low-light photos looked better in general than those captured on the Pixel 2. You can see this in the included photos. The AR effects on the new Pixel have been upgraded as well. Now the company is doing pretty remarkable AR tricks on standard phone hardware, something Apple has also achieved. This dispatches a version of the Google Assistant to answer incoming phone calls in your place. Then it keeps them on hold to give you time to make a decision about whether to answer the call.
I had initially thought this feature was just there for unrecognized numbers, but while I was testing the Pixel 3, the Assistant screened even my known contacts when they called. Some people are rightfully concerned that dispatching robots to answer phone calls for us is the next step toward a cold, unfeeling future. However, I also found it vastly satisfying when an unknown number called my Pixel 3 and, after the Google Assistant asked the caller to state their business, the caller promptly hung up.

Good riddance to spam callers! I, for one, welcome this particular robot overlord. Call Screen will eventually come to Pixel 2. The Pixel 3 phone, more than any other Google-designed phone before it, is an example of what sophisticated software can do when the hardware it runs on is incrementally improved.
Great camera with AI-assisted goodies. Great battery life. Wireless charging adds convenience. Google Assistant is elegant, and it knows more about you than Siri ever will. Call-screening feature is remarkably satisfying.
