Xiaomi Phones May Soon Get Top Shot-like ‘AI Shutter’
Jul. 4, 2020One of the unique features Google introduced with itsPixel 3series isTop Shot. The feature automatically decides the best picture from a range of images it captures. Now, a new report fromXDA-Developershints thatXiaomi is working behind the scenes to replicate this functionality.
Google’s Top Shot captures multiple images in burst mode and uses object recognition and ML to pick the best shots. It prioritizes images with smiles and open eyes. Top Shot is available just on Google’s Pixel lineup.
It is too early to speculate if AI Shutter would be as efficient as Top Shot. The report notes that thefeature is not live even inMIUI 12betasand hence, we will have to wait to know how effective Xiaomi’s implementation would be.
We could expect the Chinese smartphone giant to inherit all the capabilities of Top Shot, now that it has been around for almost two years now. In addition, Xiaomi may add a few enhancements of its own to AI Shutter. Also, do keep in mind that this feature may not even make it to the beta builds if Xiaomi decides so. However, it won’t be surprising if Xiaomi ships it since this is one of those nice-to-have features that would improve the user experience while using the camera app.
