After our daylight shootout, it’s now time to vote in our low-light camera comparison, where you get to decide the winner by voting for the low-light images you prefer.

Camera specs at a glance:

Let’s review the on-paper specs of the Google Pixel 9a and the iPhone 16e. To remove any possible bias, we have cleared the information about the shots and renamed the phones “Phone A” and “Phone B.” The names will be disclosed once the poll ends.

Since the iPhone 16e lacks an ultrawide lens, we have excluded ultrawide shots in our comparison.
