Time up upgrade.

I snapped these two on a walk last night with no special anything... just point and shoot.

They aren't cropped, edited, nothing.

Not implying either are wonderful, just pointing out that phone cameras are incredible these days.

There were nearly no visible stars in the second one.

I have the Galaxy S20. I never attempted night photography because I figured it's not even possible on this phone. I don't see any astrophotography or long exposure settings.

I just used the stock Galaxy S22u camera. I think it automatically switches to night mode on the S22U. I can't remember for sure. I also took some with my pixel 7 pro, so I can't remember exactly what I did as far as turning on night mode on each one. The pixel 7 pro pictures sucked though.

Swipe along to the "more" tab and there should be a "pro" option to manually adjust all camera settings. Don't say its not possible just cause you don't know how to use your phone.
