News I took photos of the northern lights with my Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24 Plus — the results were very different

[AC News]

An intense solar storm caused a brilliant showing of the northern lights across the northern hemisphere. I compared a Pixel and Galaxy phone to see how they would capture the event.

These are very beautiful photos, esp w/the Pixel 8 Pro. Google's Pixel still most def has the edge over the Galaxy photos. Thanks for sharing.

Neat article. Samsung is killing it with gains in sales while Google have dropped. There is a perception on the street that Google is deflating. It's not due to phones, but other problems with the company. A lot of trust in its products has been lost. It's really time for some new direction.

Maybe so, it is really a shame Samsung has always lagged behind in photo quality. Maybe one day they will find the magic sauce, or Google can sell it to them.

Even with my Pixel 6, with street lights right behind, I still got some great photos. One here below.

Did you also try with Video Boost mode on the Pixel 8 Pro?

Why did you use "night mode" when manual mode is so much better when it comes to photographing at night/aurora/astrophotography?
Also use a tripod next time or prop your phone upp against something

Exactly. Writer is shilling the Pixel while using both phones incorrectly.

The Samsung should not have been in night mode, it should have been kept in regular mode or astrophotography. Night Mode is NOT for taking pictures of the sky, it's to capture regular pictures in low light situations...

My god "articles" like these drive me nuts.
