- Night mode gets better with sharper details and more vivid colors, now powered by the Photonic Engine, including Night mode portraits, enabled by the LiDAR scanner.
- New Smart HDR captures subjects and the background with more true-to-life renderings of skin tones, while ensuring photos have brighter highlights, richer midtones, and deeper shadows when viewed in the Photos app. This advanced HDR rendering is also available to third-party apps, so images can look even better when shared online.
- The best quality video in a smartphone is upgraded thanks to A17 Pro, with improvements in low-light video and Action mode.
With enhanced professional workflows, the go-to smartphone for filmmakers and creative professionals gets even better.
