2. A V-Day Vision

Your Valentine always stands out to you. So make them the center of focus with Portrait Mode, and watch as the background fades into a beautiful blur… just like the world does when you’re together.

3. Mood Lighting

Romantic dinner date? Use Night Sight to capture the mood when the lights are dim. Pixel’s camera can capture the highlights of your Valentine’s celebrations, even in low light.

4. Picture Perfect Palentines

If you’re celebrating with your Palentines, Group Selfie Cam on Pixel 3 gives everyone the love they deserve in your group selfie.

5. Search at First Sight

The technology that lets you search what you see is baked right into Pixel 3’s camera. See a shirt that would look great on your Galentine? Use Google Lens to find something similar online. Want to know what that flower is in your bouquet? Use Google Lens to identify it. Making a last-minute dinner reservation at that restaurant on the corner? Use Google Lens suggestions to dial the number on their sign with just a tap in the Pixel camera.
