The Evolution of Night Vision on Your Phone

Tech companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Google are investing resources to improve their night photography options, using AI algorithms to lighten or brighten images in dark environments. Samsung's Night mode feature, available on various Galaxy models, promises to enable phones to take clearer pictures with little light by minimizing noise through multi-frame processing and AI. Google's AI-powered Night Sight feature captures a burst of longer-exposure frames and uses HDR+ Bracketing to create several photos with different settings. Apple's Night mode turns on to capture details and brighten shots in low-light environments. Generative AI technology could eventually make night modes even more powerful.
