See Why Google's Pixel 3 Night Sight Camera Mode Is An Absolute Game-Changer

Google's latest addition to its Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL computational photography arsenal is Night Sight, which allows for incredibly detailed pictures to be captured in low-light situations (without the aid of a flash). Although Google hasn't yet given a thorough explanation on how Night Sight exactly works, as you can see in the images below, it's able to greatly brighten scenes while preserving much of the detail that would usually be lost.

 

 

All of these images were captured inside in low-light conditions, but we'll update this piece in the future with nighttime shots. But even in pre-production form, the results from Night Sight are truly impressive. 

 

 

Google's Night Sight is not yet officially available in the Google Camera app, however, the folks over at XDA-Developers have tweaked the APK to enable the feature right now. You can download the Google Camera 6.1 Mod right here, which was modified by cstark27.

If you'd prefer to wait until the feature is officially included in the Google Camera app, you'll have to wait until sometime in November according to Google. The modified camera app is available for the Pixel, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 (along with their XL variants).
