Google should bring RAISR to their Pixel line-up and allow photos to be exported in 4x resolution.

What is RAISR?

RAISR is Google's trainable super-resolution technology ([ref: spoiler expect "ML" and "AI" ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.blog.google/products/google-plus/saving-you-bandwidth-through-machine-learning/amp/))

It'd also be pretty cool if they could partner with NVIDIA to bring their [video slow-motion transformer](https://news.developer.nvidia.com/transforming-standard-video-into-slow-motion-with-ai/) to the platform as well (maybe allow it as an edit in Google Photos?).

Updated Google Assistant UI

Anyone else get a new UI for GA? Looks like bringing up the keyboard is now two clicks away which is unfortunate since I use it so often. Thoughts?

Google assistant dark mode

Not sure if this is a bug, but the answer cards in my Google assistant feed have a dark theme now. Some of the text seems to not have been fixed so this is obviously an unfinished feature.
[Album here](https://www.imgur.com/a/QRCIRhE)

Does anyone else see this on their phones?

EDIT: just realized that it is related to Messages dark mode setting. Seems to be a system wide flag....

What apps have you found or do you think work better on Android than on IOS?

Android and IOS lover here. Currently have a note 9. And you people know what they say about IOS apps being better and more optimized on that OS than Android because they don't have as many devices to worry about, less fragmentation, etc. But there are apps the I've found that perform better on Android than on iOS. One I would say is Google maps. On IOS Google maps lags a little. It's not as smooth as on Android. Also I'd say YouTube is just as good. Anyone else with opinions?...

Arthritis pain when typing on chin-less phones...

Not knocking the new trend of minimal be bezels and chin-less phones, but I've been having a difficult type when it comes to typing comfortably. Anyone else experiencing arthritis pain in their hands when typing on these phones? For me, my left hand starts to hurt almost immediately but never had this problem on my old phone....
