You want a phone with a very strong cameraThe iPhone 11's night mode, two lenses and forthcoming Deep Fusion combine to make a very competent snapper - almost matching what's available on the more expensive Pro range.
Apple iPhone 11’s Night mode triumphs: Google’s Pixel 4 is no match for the iPhone 11 in low lig
But that's viewing these images in smaller form. Again, if we pixel peep, Xiaomi shots are noticeably less noisy, and appear more natural, without the overprocessing that is a side effect of night mode.
If we move to low-light scenes though, then it gets interesting. Here, Xiaomi will turn on night mode (so, too, does Apple), but because the 12S Ultra's ultra-wide also uses pixel binning technology with a slightly larger sensor, its night shots are better illuminated. This isn't always good, I think the iPhone's ultra-wide keeping shadows so dark makes for a moodier, more atmospheric shot, but the iPhone's images are noticeably softer on details and noisier than Xiaomi's in all three sets below. 2ff7e9595c
