Take photos in the dark with your Galaxy phone or tablet

There's no need to miss an important event or moment with your friends just because of low lighting. With the advanced Night mode on Galaxy phones and tablets, you can take photos in the dark and get vivid images without using the camera's flash. If you have a newer phone or tablet model, it will come with Super Bright Night or Ultra Bright Night technology for precise pictures in low or dim lighting. The Galaxy S25 series includes Galaxy AI Nightography, which allows you to capture sharper, smoother, and brighter quality images as well. You can find Galaxy phones and tablets that have night mode on our website.
