Answer
What is the best phone camera for low light?
The iPhone 15 Pro, Google Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra all use computational night modes that genuinely rival small cameras. Pixel still leads on pure auto-shot quality in the dark; iPhone leads on natural color; Samsung leads on zoom in low light.

Yes — modern night modes stack multiple exposures in 1–3 seconds and dramatically cut noise. Hold steady or brace against something.
