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.

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