AI in smartphones is often met with skepticism, and I get it. It sometimes feels like manufacturers are just throwing features out there, hoping something sticks. We’ve all been there, where the big promises don’t quite live up to the hype. Remember when Apple touted its entire ecosystem as ‘Apple Intelligence’ only for a good chunk of the features to miss the mark? Yeah, disappointing. But every once in a while, something comes along that actually works. 
And that’s where Google’s new AI innovations, particularly the Camera Coach, come into play.
Let’s first talk about phone call Live Translate. Google has taken it up a notch, and it’s no longer just a cool idea that barely functions. It’s faster, smoother, and now, it even generates translations in your own voice. Some may find that a bit unsettling, but there’s no denying how impressive that is. It’s like having a bilingual assistant on speed dial.
But here’s where things get really interesting: the Camera Coach. Unlike typical AI features that feel gimmicky, this one actually seems practical. Using AI, it assesses what you’re trying to photograph and offers real-time suggestions to help you capture a better shot. Whether you’re trying to frame a portrait or perfect your landscape photography, the Camera Coach adjusts your perspective to improve the shot. It’s like having a professional photographer by your side at all times.
The more I think about it, the more I realize this is the kind of AI I can get behind. It’s not about replacing human creativity but enhancing it. If Google continues on this path, they might just change how we take photos forever. Forget manual editing, this could make your smartphone a personal assistant for photography, without the hassle.

This sounds pretty cool, but I dunno, will it really work in low light?
