Your phone takes amazing photos partly because of AI. The camera + AI guesses what you wanted, fixes shadows, even adds detail. Here is the deal.

The big idea
Your phone camera is way better than the actual lens lets it be. Why? AI does massive editing automatically — fixing exposure, sharpening, even guessing what you wanted to capture.
Some examples
Night mode: AI takes many short photos and combines them to brighten the dark.
Portrait mode: AI guesses the background and blurs it.
HDR: AI combines bright and dark exposures.
Some new phones AI-add detail to faraway things in zoom.
Try it!
Take the same photo with your phone in normal mode and in 'pro' mode (or with HDR off). Compare. Notice how much AI is doing in the background.
