Almost all of the flagship smartphones launched recently have been focused on improving camera performance, especially in the low-light photography department. The most impressive solution for low-light photography so far comes from Google, thanks to the company’s “Night Sight” feature in Pixel 3-series phones.

Now, Samsung is reportedly working on offering a similar solution for its smartphones called “Bright Night.” The feature works on a simple approach — take multiple pictures and combine them into one picture that is much brighter, shows more detail than a typical low-light photo, isn’t overexposed, and doesn’t rely on the LED flash.

It is speculated that the “Bright Night” feature might debut with Samsung‘s upcoming flagship — the Galaxy S10-lineup. XDA-Developers decompiled the stock Samsung Camera app which comes with the latest Galaxy Note 9’s One UI build that explicitly describe a feature similar to what other night mode features do.

If the feature debuts with the Galaxy S10, there’s a possibility that the “Bright Night” feature may be Galaxy S10 exclusive for a while, before being rolled out to the company’s other phones. The South Korean company did this with “Scene Optimizer” feature on the Galaxy Note 9, which was later introduced in Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

While Google’s “Night Sight” is the most well-known feature in terms of low-light photography, many smartphone manufacturers are offering a similar feature that does exactly the same things, but not effective as Google’s solution. OnePlus is calling its solution “Nightscape” while Xiaomi calls it “Night Scene”. China-based Huawei has named it “Night Mode” while its sub-brand Honor prefers calling it “Super Bright Mode.”

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 is shaping up to be a fundamental revision for the company and is not just an iterative update over the Galaxy S9-series. The Galaxy S10 is reportedly coming with an in-display front-facing camera, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, triple-camera setup on the back, among others.

There’s also a 5G-compatible variant of the Galaxy S10, which will reportedly be showcased during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The company is expected to hold its “Samsung Unpacked” event to launch the Galaxy S10-series on 20th February, a week before MWC 2019.
