Night Sight makes it possible to take low-light pictures without having to use flash, or even a tripod for that matter. Night Sight leverages on Google’s AI knowhow and combines it with the Pixel’s HDR+ processing algorithms to boost the colours and brightness of photos that were taken in the dark.
