Google Pixel 3 was released almost a month ago and it has been making waves ever since. The one feature that is being talked about extensively is the Night Sight mode that comes with the Pixel 3 Camera app. Thanks to Google’s highly polished software enhancements on its camera app the phone can take incredible low light pictures using its Night Sight mode. However, the mode is currently a Pixel 3 exclusive but it has been successfully ported<\/a> to older pixel devices. Today, thanks to Xdadevelopers modding community, you can install\u00a0Night Sight Mode on Razer Phone 2 and Xiaomi Mi 8.<\/p>\n

Magic of Post-processing<\/h3>\n

The modern smartphone has come a long way in the past few years. There are currently multiple big competitors\u00a0in the market and one thing that is interesting about them is that many a time two phones from two different manufacturers might house the same camera sensor that is manufactured by a third part company such as sony for example. However, the end result of the camera might differ immensely.<\/p>\n

What causes this you may ask? well, in short, it all boils down to the post-processing capability of the phones in question. You see, the camera sensor in a smartphone alone cannot suffice to give you an extraordinary image when we are dealing with something as small as a smartphone camera sensor. It needs to be supplemented by software to enhance the final result aka post-processing. All smartphone companies do this, some better than others.<\/p>\n

This is where Google Pixel 3’s Night Sight mode differs greatly from other night photography solutions offered by various smartphones. Night Sight drastically improves low light imagery without sacrificing any of the quality. This is also true for simple portraits aside from night photography. You can see it for yourself below.<\/p>\n
