When the Nokia 1.3 launched in March, it came with a new camera app called Camera Go that is specially designed for Android Go devices. Today, the app is getting a Night Mode feature that allows supported Android Go devices to take better images in low-light without flash.
A minute and a half video released by Google via the official Android Twitter account today reveals that the Night Mode feature for the Camera Go combines several photos (burst photography) “to produce a bright, sharp photo”.

The video also reveals that the camera app has been built for specific camera modules on affordable phones. So it is not just software but a combination of software and hardware. This also explains why it is not available for all existing Android Go phones.
It was also revealed that Camera Go will get an HDR mode later this year that will increase the quality of photos taken on these budget devices at any time of the day. Evidence of an HDR Mode was found in the Camera Go app as far back as April. We believe the pandemic is responsible for the delay in rolling out the feature.
Night Mode on Camera Go has begun rolling out to the Nokia 1.3, Wiko Y61, and Wiko Y81 smartphones.
