It has always been a difficult problem for smart phones to take pictures in poor night light. However, in 2014, many manufacturers challenged the darkness, and they armed their phones to teeth with various technologies, striving to get the best pictures when taking pictures at night.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 Plus, which is more powerful than the Bigger iPhone, can take better photos under low light conditions than other iPhones when equipped with an optical shake proof lens.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung claims that the 16 million pixel camera of Note 4 has undergone a series of improvements to make Note 4 take better pictures in poor light conditions, and Note 4 has also been equipped with an optical anti shake lens for the first time, which makes us look forward to its performance.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1

The Panasonic Lumix DMX-CM1, released earlier this month, is equipped with a 1-inch 20 million pixel sensor with a 28mm wide-angle Leica lens. The CM1 has a maximum sensitivity of 25600 and can output RAW photos. Unfortunately, this machine will not be officially launched until November, but in terms of specifications, it must be one of the strongest mobile phones for night photography ever.

Sony Xperia Z3 Z3 Compact

Sony continues to cook a new soup without changing its makeup: a 1/2.3 inch 20.7 million pixel sensor and G lens. Although there is no optical anti shake support, Sony has raised the sensitivity to 12800, making the Z3 the first mobile phone with such a high sensitivity. The high sensitivity also enables Z3 to take usable 8 megapixel photos in an environment where other smart phones can't take anything at all.

Nokia Lumia 930/ICON

Although the 930 camera is not the strongest under Nokia, the night shooting capability of the 20 megapixel 930 is better than that of most mobile phones on the market. The 930 built-in sensor is 1/2.5 inch in size and has an optical anti shake bonus. Of course, the "most mobile phones" just mentioned do not include the XD listed in this inventory.

Nokia Lumia 1020

Although 1020 is the predecessor of 930, when it comes to photography, 1020 is better than 930 in every aspect. The 1020's sensor size is 1/1.5 inch, and the number of pixels has reached an astonishing 41 million pixels. In addition, the 1020 also supports optical anti shake. Under low light conditions, the 1020's image quality is even better than that of the 808 with a larger sensor. However, this is probably because the 808 does not have optical anti shake, and the 1020 has it.

Asus ZenFone 6 ZenFone 5

Both ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 5 are entry-level smart phones, but ASUS claims that the PixelMaster technology used in these two phones can enable these two machines to take good photos in low light conditions. ZenFone 6 and 5 will lock the output of 3 megapixel photos and 2 megapixel photos when taking photos in night view mode. The camera pixels of these two machines are 13 million pixels and 8 million pixels respectively.

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

K Zoom is Samsung's latest camera with mobile phone function, which is precisely why, K Zoom is thicker and heavier than ordinary mobile phones. The built-in sensor of K Zoom is 1/2.3 inch 20.7 million pixels. In addition to a large area sensor, K Zoom also has xenon flash, optical anti shake and cool 10x optical zoom. The night shooting effect is very good. Although there is still noise, this is not a pure camera after all.
