In 2015 the Nexus 6P was launched, the latest Google flagship under the name of Nexus, since in 2016 they were renamed to Pixel. With that Nexus 6P the option was introduced SmartBurst, an option that allowed you to shoot in a burst, and that from now on will be replaced by Top Shot.
To begin we will explain what each option allows us. SmartBurst is a feature that allows you to shoot up to ten photos per second by holding down the shutter button. A very useful option when we are in an action situation as a sport or when you have to capture a moment precisely. If we capture ten, fifteen or twenty photos, then we can choose the one that we like the most and the one that has been the best.
With the departure of the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3XL was introduced topshot. This functionality works completely differently, but the result is the same. The idea of Top Shot is that when you shoot a photo, the phone automatically captures the before and after moments as well. In this way, you can then access a menu and choose the best one, even the phone itself, through artificial intelligence, will recommend the ones it considers best.
Smart Burst replaced by Top Shot on Pixel 3
It seems that Google is not taking a step back with its new camera technologies. Google wants Smart Burst to be replaced by Top Shot. Of course, only for the Pixel 3, since the Pixel 2 did not receive Top Shot.
In version 6.3 of the google camera, apart from bringing the mode Night Sight (the night mode of the camera) to the main screen, it seems that it has removed Smart Burst on the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3XL in "pro" of the new Google technology. That's what they tell us in the release notes.
Google declares that Top Shot is a much better technology, more efficient and does not fill your phone with photos and take up space. In addition to having the comfort of being able to choose from Top Shot with Google recommendations and not having to manually choose between the forty photos that you have taken at a time when your nephew was scoring a goal in his soccer game or the twenty photos that you did when your mother blew out the candles on her birthday cake.
What do you think about this? Do you think Top Shot is a good replacement for Smart Burst? Or that we should have both?
Nokia had this on windows phone and much better, it let you change only the faces. The same as the always on display nokia came first. Too bad nokia still can't resuscitate
