An analogue of Google Night Sight is being developed

According to one of the research centers, the option to improve the quality of images taken in low or poor lighting conditions is one of the most popular. The most famous development in this area is Night Sight technology, the author of which is Google.

Other companies are trying to keep up too. Similar solutions are created with one approach - when photographing, several similar frames are taken. Then, like in a kaleidoscope - the best parts of the frames are collected into one.

Samsung specialists were puzzled by the creation of the same functionality. This became known through the XDA Developers forum. On it, some advanced users have decompiled the standard camera application included in the new Galaxy UI build on Android Pie for Galaxy Note 9.

This does not at all oblige the company to introduce newfangled functionality on all its models. However, on flagship models, it will most likely be used.

It is not known exactly when Samsung devices will start selling. The price of covers for them ranges from $ 10 to $ 30.
