Not only the phones with customized Android skins have the option to quickly launch the camera, but Google’s pure Android-based Pixel 3 also includes this shortcut. The Pixel 3 is the Google’s top-of-the-line smartphone featuring pure Android 9.0 Pie, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, and a notched display.
