Taking good pictures in low-light conditions can be tricky at times. Whether you are a pro or just love taking pictures, having a good low-light camera on your phone can also make nighttime photography more fun and creative.

Therefore, to make it easier for you this Diwali, we have compiled a list of smartphones, including iQOO Neo 7, Samsung Galaxy F54, Realme 11 Pro+ and more, which don’t just work well, but also help you take clear, detailed pictures even when it’s dark. Check out the details here. 

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G

  • Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ sAMOLED+ Infinity-O display with 120Hz refresh rate

  • Rear camera: 108MP main camera + 8MP ultra-wide angle lens + 2MP macro sensor
  • Selfie camera: 32MP on the front

As per our review, the main camera sometimes adds a bit of graininess and has a bit of trouble getting the colours right in the dark. However, there’s still enough detail to be satisfied. The phone has a special night mode that reduces the graininess, but it makes some of the smaller details look a bit less clear.

According to 91mobiles’ review, the main camera does a good job, especially considering the price in low-light conditions. It takes nice pictures with good sharpness and detail. Plus, you can use the night mode to make the pictures less noisy.

As per the review, pictures taken in low lights show a lot of details and the right brightness, even if you don’t turn on the Night mode. When you do use it, the pictures get even better with reduced noise and a touch of extra sharpness.

OnePlus Nord CE 3

  • Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate

91mobiles’ review states that in low light, the phone does pretty well. It doesn’t focus as fast as the OnePlus Nord 3, which has a special sensor for focusing, but you can still get a good picture with a decent amount of detail, especially using the 50MP main camera. The phone’s night mode also works well.
