Samsung’s Galaxy S10 camera gets a dedicated ‘Night’ mode
[ad_1] While you now have control over the Night mode feature, it’s still lacking compared to the competition. As we noted in our review, it produces rather noisy, muddy images, which is too bad considering the excellent photos you can take with the Pixel 3 and Huawei P30 Pro.
