OnePlus first showcased the Nightscape mode on the OnePlus 6Tlast year. The feature got some improvement on the OnePlus 7 Pro. Nightscape is OnePlus’ implementation of night mode features for the phone’s camera. It makes use of machine learning engine to improve the photos taken in the dark by identifying scenes and delivering more lifelike and sharp images.
Night mode is, no doubt, one of the most important camera feature around today. It combines multiple images and other processing techniques to deliver better low-light shots. On the OnePlus 7 Pro, Nightscape mode is only available on the main 48MP rear camera out of the triple rear camera setup. However, that may soon change as a OnePlus executive has reportedly hinted that the Nightscape feature will be available with the other camera sensors in the future.

GSMArena quotes Zake Zhang, OnePlus image product manager to have disclosed that “We are working on bringing the Nightscape feature to the other cameras in a future update.” This is laudable since some rival brands like Huawei’s telephoto and ultra-wide cameras can use night mode from any of the cameras. However, the pictures captured from the other sensors may not be as clear as the one captured by the main camera due to the main camera’s superior low-light prowess.
We can’t say if the update will allow users to use the Nightscape mode with the selfie camera. The Google Pixel models have night mode enabled for the selfie camera as well as the rear cameras.
