There’s no guesswork required to figure out the biggest trend in smartphones this past year.
Then there’s theGooglePixel phones, long established as the leaders when it comes to AI features.

So yes, smartphones gained plenty of AI superpowers in 2024?
But how many of those powers were actually super.
Anything that comes across a glorified parlor trick with more sizzle than steak, I can do without.

That’s the way things were before Apple Intelligence arrived, though.
Now,the built-in Mail app has a summary toolat the top of each message.
Screenshots has other management tools that make it a wonderful addition to Google’s phones.
you’re able to annotate screenshots, sort them into collections and easily share screenshots with other people.
Screenshots can be a real time-saver, as it fits exactly into how I store information for later reference.
Call Notes
Call recording is now a feature on the Phone app of every major flagship machine.
(At least it will be on Samsung’s Galaxy flagships onceOne UI 7gets released to more phones.)
What I appreciate about Call Notes is its summary feature.
You’ll find a cool image-editing capabilities in any of the best camera phones that came out in 2024.
(You’ll also find a couple duds, which we’ll talk about in a bit.)
I also appreciate the edit suggestion feature that the Galaxy S24 introduced.
The Instant Slow-Mo feature takes that guesswork out of my hands.
Let’s give some credit where credit is due.
But and I think this is a question we need to ask of any AI feature to what purpose?
But I have a hard enough time deciphering teeny-tiny emoji in text messages that care commonly used.
And that makes me wonder why it’s even included with Galaxy AI at all.
The trouble lies with handing off the camera to someone else.
But the results I’ve seen are too erratic for me to trust Add Me.

That’s likely to occur later this month.
