Sony's original implementation was called multi frame NR and was available since RX100. It works handheld and is still available for all models with Playmemories support.

The... moreHuawei pulls highlights more but that doesn't mean higher DR captured, just higher perceived DR which doesn't always matter, OTOH Google's Night Sight provides FAR superior detail retention and works with less available light than Huawei even with a notably smaller sensor. Huawei's software is much less sophisticated.

      It's already started more and more Huawei is relevant in smartphone discussions soon they will take over based on how aggressive they've been, I believe people will have no such but to acknowledge china Inna few years

          The results don't looks as good as Huawei's Night Mode. The street lights are still overexposing themselves even with image stacking, unlike Huawei Night Mode.

            Hi GSMArena,

            You should have test Night Sight more in darker areas like DSLR camera photo rather than well lit locations then we would have been able to see real potential of this feature. :)

Huawei Night Mod is the 1st to introduce long exposure + image stacking & using AIS, can be captured using handheld, without the need of using tripod!

                U need to learn more, boy.

                  Anonymous, 15 Nov 2018Dear GSMA, please do make a shootout on this Night Sight, N... moreSony's approach is more like a more aggressive version of what Huawei has been doing in P9 - Mate 10, where color information from the RGB sensor is fused with the luminance information of the B&W sensor to achieve lower noise in high ISO. Both Night Sight and Night Mode are much more advanced processing which involve the stacking and aligning of more than 10 frames of images, and they both take several seconds to shoot. I think it's unfair for Sony to be included in the comparison.

                      While it's cool that Google finally implemented this, this isn't a new thing. Sony was able to do this over 3 years ago and with even crazier results. In a few years when Apple copies this, it will blow everyone's mind again. At least for the mindless anyway...

                        interesting approach!
                        For the guy said no optical zoom was available in phones: even phones from 2000 had optical zoom let alone todays (but there is a little thing today's phone are fixed zoom not actual range)

                          Dear GSMA, please do make a shootout on this Night Sight, Night Mode and that of Sony's.

                              Overhyped. ASUS Zenfone Zoom already does this since 2015(?) you can even photograph starsky
