Night mode: iPhone 11 Pro vs. Pixel 4 camera comparison By CNET

When it comes to low-light photography. The pixel has always been one of the best phones to use in the dark, but now the iPhone has caught up. So let's compare nitrite on the pixel for tonight mode on the iPhone 11 Pro, so I have a tripod with me, but let's be honest when you're out at night, you don't necessarily carry a tripod with you at all times, so this comparison has a mix of both handheld and tripod photos. As with all these photos, it really does come down to personal preference and what screen you're viewing on does make a difference on this shot of the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Both phones do a good job on my screen. The iPhone exposure is a little darker, while detail and sharpness on both at the hundred percent crop is great.

The pixel does show some noise in the sky in this photo. I. Viewed this on a couple different screens and on some the iPhone looks warmer, but on others it's the pixel with the warmer white balance. Overall, the pixel makes the night sky look like an inky blue night mode on the iPhone. In this photo is a bit more like what it actually looked like in real life.

For this example, I prefer the pixel and this one I like the iPhone for the warmer tones, even if you can't make out the sine as well as you can on the pixel on this photo of the houses. I think both phones look great, but the iPhone has a bit more definition on the foliage and doesn't blow out detail quite as much as the pixel in some parts, but on this image the phones are so close. I prefer the pixel here as it's a bit lighter. This shot also shows the pixel capturing a tiny bit more sharpness than the iPhone, especially when you look closer at the skeletons and the pots on the shelf, but the iPhones color treatment overall, just looks more natural. To me.

One thing to note is that night mode on the iPhone is only on the regular wide-angle and telephoto lens. Not the ultra-wide and night mode comes on automatically. When you see the icon in the corner of the iPhone camera app, you can also adjust the exposure time by moving the slider just above the shutter on the pixel. You can't adjust the exposure time in the default app but sliders. Let you tweak shadows and highlights for selfies.

Only the pixel offers nitrite on the front camera, and the pixel clearly takes this one. Although with enough light, the iPhone doesn't look bad at all, and the pixel also has an Castro photography mode within night sight being in a big city. It's normally hard to see the Stars with all the light pollution, but the pixel really does make the sky look great here with this 3-minute 30-second exposure on the iPhone. This one was only a 30-second exposure, and it also looks good just without that inky blue sky and the sharpness that the pixel producers will be doing a dedicated macrophotography videos soon. For you to really see the effect, the iPhone has done a great job in catching up to the pixel when it comes to low-light photography and both shine in their own ways.

It's so tough to choose a winner, because both are great, so I'm going to leave this one up to you. So that's nitrite on the pixel 4 versus night mode on the iPhone 11 Pro. Let me know which phone that you preferred and stay tuned, because I've got lots more camera comparisons with these and other phones coming soon on CNET.
