| Short summary | Best Take uses on-device Gemini Nano vision models to create perfect group photos by selecting and blending the best facial expressions from burst shots. | Photo Assist uses AI to enhance, edit, and organize photos on Samsung Galaxy devices with Galaxy AI. | ||||||||||||||||
| Detailed explanation | Best Take leverages Google's Gemini Nano vision AI to analyze multiple frames captured in burst mode and identify the optimal facial expression for each person in the group. The system detects facial features, micro-expressions, and eye openness across frames, then seamlessly composites the best elements into a single natural-looking photo. All processing happens entirely on-device on supported Pixel phones, ensuring privacy and speed. The feature was launched as part of the Pixel 8 Pro photography suite and uses the Tensor G3 NPU for efficient image processing. | Photo Assist leverages Samsung's Galaxy AI platform to provide intelligent photo editing and organization. The feature uses on-device and cloud-based AI models to identify objects, people, and scenes in photos, then suggests relevant edits like moving objects, removing reflections, or generating new backgrounds. The feature also includes AI-powered search and organization of the photo gallery. | ||||||||||||||||
| Why it exists | Group photos often have at least one person blinking, looking away, or making an imperfect expression. Users need an effortless way to create perfect group photos without retakes. | Users want to edit and enhance photos quickly without learning complex editing tools. Photo Assist addresses this by using AI to understand photo content and suggest contextually relevant edits. | ||||||||||||||||
