A big part of our phone experiences is taking selfies. But what about a challenging night time portrait? Read on and see which phones are best for selfies at night.
Iphone 15 (basic)
The A16 bionic chip of the Iphone 15 may just be the good processor you will need for night time photography-of course for selfie too.
The processor can quickly give you the photo preview as you snap the shutter button for that good looking night selfie.
The f/1.9 selfie camera is good enough for your evening portraits.
Samsung S24
It may have an f/2.2 aperture for the front camera but quick shots are possible with the processor’s speed. Samsung S24 has an 8-core 3.39 Ghz which is at par that of the Iphone 15.
Expect to have almost instant picture processing even for challenging night selfies.
Also, it has an auto focus feature even for the front camera so you get that blur effect of the background.
Xiaomi 14
If megapixel is the factor, Xiaomi 14 has a whopping 32 MP for your selfie shot in the evening. This is very capable of zooming and cropping your photos without losing sharpness and clarity.
Aperture is f/2.0 which can give more blur effect to focus on your face.
Criteria
Aperture
When taking pictures, a shallow depth of field for portraits is ideal. We can apply this to the selfie camera so you can get sharper front images even at night.
A phone with a selfie camera of f/1.8 – f/2.0 is ideal for this goal. In my experience, this is not much of a concern as long as your face has a decent distance from your background towards the camera.
Megapixel
They always say that MP will not matter most if you will not increase the size of the image later on. Yes it may be true but get at least a 5 MP for the selfie camera to get a decent picture at night.
Fast Processor (Brain)
It is usually a challenge for most phones to quickly process pictures coming from a dark scene. But with today’s units, it should not be a problem.
Get a phone with a fast processor so you can instantly see your pictures when taken. No more lag or waiting time when taking that beautiful night selfies.
