iPhone 11 Pro vs Note 10+ vs Google Pixel 3a XL Night Mode Camera Comparison! By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is Wade with tech daily, so with the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Apple, pretty much went all-in with their camera upgrades and have basically made that the selling point for these new devices now, in addition to a new wide-angle lens, some upgraded hardware and better image, processing, Apple also introduced night mode on the iPhone for the very first time night mode, isn't a new feature to smartphones. A lot of other devices have had this for a while, of course, Google was basically the first to bring it to their phones with a pixel and that's sort of been the gold standard for a lot of people. Samsung followed suit and introduced it to their devices as well. Huawei has it on their flagship devices. ? and, like always, Apple was sort of the last to adopt it here on their phones, but it is finally here and in this video I'm going to go over what exactly night mode is and how to best utilize it. When you take pictures, and we're also going to spend a good bit of time, comparing night mode on the iPhone versus the Google Pixel and note 10 plus, these phones have some of the best camera hardware and software on the market.

Right now and it's going to be interesting to see how they handle various low light conditions side-by-side and what sort of image they end up producing with each of their unique night modes. So with the new iPhones, it doesn't matter. If you have the cheapest iPhone 11 or the more expensive I phone 11 pro or pro max all of Apple's new phones have night mode built into the camera app for the purposes of this video, the iPhone pictures that you'll see in a few minutes were shot with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but in my testing, I didn't see any difference between the 11 Pro Max and the cheaper iPhone 11. The camera hardware is the same aside from the 3rd telephoto lens on the pro max. So, with the standard picture on the main lens, you can expect the same result for both phones and through probably a hundred plus pictures.

That's exactly the result: I saw if you're not already familiar night mode basically allows you to take a better picture in low-light situations. Your scene doesn't specifically have to be an outdoor nighttime shot. It can be in a dimly, lit room or maybe a shadowy area, even sometimes at dusk or sunrise, where there isn't a lot of light. Night mode would be perfect there too, in any situation where you're losing detail and a pic due to shadows or lack of light night mode is often how you'll be able to get a much better picture. Now, if you're used to using night mode on the pixel or the note or any other Android device, you probably know that there's a separate night mode camera function that you swipe over to when you want to use it on the Google Pixel.

It's the nitrite function on the note 10, it's the tab that just says night and in order to utilize night mode, you have to manually slide over to that feature in the app when you take a picture on the iPhone night mode is actually enabled automatically when the camera app detects a scene with low-light you'll know, night mode is available and enabled, when you see this new icon in the top left corner. That sort of looks like a half moon when it's highlighted in yellow you're shooting in night mode, and the picture should look a little better with this option on, in addition to being an automatic sort of mode or feature in the camera app, there are some manual controls. You can utilize with night mode as well with night mode enabled you'll have control over the shutter speed, and you'll see that option near the shutter button toward the bottom of the camera. App with this new slider, you can toggle night mode off entirely and when you do that, you'll probably notice just how much darker your scene or subject is. But if what you're shooting is especially dark, you can slide that slider all the way to the right and lengthen the shutter speed or the time it takes to capture the picture with the shutter speed set to three seconds or five seconds or more.

The iPhone will attempt to make even the darkest of scenes viewable when shooting a picture normally in your hand, some of the darkest scenes I've shot, have encouraged the iPhone to offer up to eight seconds, but with its internal gyroscope. If the iPhone recognizes that it's completely still on a tripod, you can actually set the shutter speed up to thirty seconds. Of course, the slower you set, the shutter speed the longer you'll need to hold the phone totally still when you take the picture, but your super dark scenes should be viewable after the iPhone works, its magic with night mode. The goal is to get a decent picture in less than ideal lighting conditions, while still looking natural and realistic. You obviously want to gain or retain as much detail as possible ?, and each of these phones has a pretty different way of offering up their version of a night mode picture.

We will get to the side-by-side comparisons with all three of these phones in just a second I promise, but I want to show you a cup examples of night mode versus a standard picture, so you can sort of get an idea of how different some of these shots really are, for example, here is how the iPhone handles an outdoor shot with a standard picture on the left and night mode on the right, and you can see right away that the grass in particular looks brighter and more detailed. You gain a bit more detail in the trees behind the Mirage logo too, and even with those adjustments, the picture doesn't look washed out or overexposed I think the iPhone did a pretty solid job. Getting this picture right here is how the Google Pixel handled this shot in standard mode and in night mode, and the first thing I noticed right away, is just how different the color is in the sky. There's also a ton more color, texture and detail on the floor. The color of the building looks more true to life and I have to say this I think was a pretty difficult subject, but the pixel did an excellent job and here's an example of a dimly lit indoor shot with a note, 10, plus and I, don't want to hate on the note just yet, but there's one thing: that's off about how this phone captured this scene with night mode and that would be with the flooring with night mode.

For whatever reason the floor looks almost black, even though it's more of a red color and while the wall and the couch and the blanket all looked better I think in the night mode shot. Something really weird just ended up happening with that hardwood floor. Here's how the iPhone pro handled that same scene- and you can see, there's still a bit of red tint to that floor, like there should be that's way more true to life and same with the pixel -. Surprisingly, the pixels night mode didn't transform the scene too much for whatever reason, but the floor here obviously is much more correct again and looks completely different from what we saw with the note. Ok, so, let's jump into the side by side comparison, shots with all three of these phones, and I'm going to offer a little of my own commentary and analysis on a couple pictures, and then I'll finally shut up, and you can just enjoy the rest and decide for yourself what looks good, but with this first shot here, which was taken with the rear camera by the way, I think the iPhone looks the truest to life.

Once again, the pixel retained the most detail for sure, especially when you look closely at my facial hair and the note, while it was the brightest of the three sort of wash things out a bit, and it overexposed to the point where my face looks more pale than it is and much more sort of like smooth and porcelain-like, which it isn't in real life. Now, with this first set of pictures, I think there's some noticeable differences between the phones, but that actually wasn't always the case with this shot. Here, for example, which is indoors in a dim garden area across the board, there's not a lot to say that's different. The iPhone is a bit more saturated, but the detail is similar. The exposure is almost identical and while it is pretty uncommon to get a result like this, it does happen from time to time more often than not, though I was getting results.

That looked more like this, where the note 10, for whatever reason, is brighter and more overexposed than the other two. The iPhone produces a bit darker of a shot and the pixel seems to offer the most balance while keeping the most amount of detail now in a scene like this I think any of these pictures is fine. The note tends tendency to overexpose and blow things out didn't hurt the end result here, but sometimes like this scene, for example, the note just really goes too far. You can see the light in the lamppost is casting this ray or reflection. That's super distracting, and it's not something the other phones had trouble with.

The sky is almost an unnatural, bluish, gray, color too, and while it is still a fair picture, I think both the iPhone and the pixel did a far better job. Given the different elements, it's a similar story with this picture here too well, the note I think actually retained the most detail in this shot. The sky has this weird discoloration and striped pattern, and the picture looks entirely too blown out. Surprisingly, the pixel also really didn't end up capturing the scene, all that well either in my opinion, which left the iPhone to lead the pack here now. Obviously, all these pictures are up for debate.

You might completely disagree with me and that's totally fine I'm sort of expecting it. If that's the case, let me know in the comments down below I, really want to know your thoughts on these pictures and how you think each phone did I know everyone has their preference and I really want to know your reasoning. There are quite a few more pictures here for you to enjoy, so I'll stop talking now and let you just enjoy them like I said. Let me know which phone did the best in the comments below, and I'll meet you back up at the end of the video. So there you go a side by side, night mode, comparison between the new iPhone 11 Pro, the note 10 and a Google Pixel like I said.

Let me know what phone came out on top in your opinion, I'd love to know your thoughts and if you want to see any other comparisons, let me know too I still have lots planned for these new iPhones, but hopefully you guys did enjoy this video be sure to follow tech daily on Twitter and subscribe to the tech daily YouTube channel.
