OnePlus Nord, Nightscape mode. The Nord manages to retain plenty of detail in this shot while balancing out accurate colors.

Google Pixel 3A XL, Night Sight mode. The grain in the Pixel 3A's shot is a little more visible and the Nord does a better job with the sign, but this photo is a little better exposed and not as contrasty.

OnePlus Nord, main camera. I love the colors in this shot, and you get plenty of great detail, too.

OnePlus Nord, ultrawide camera. This photo is very muddy and a bit distorted toward the edges. I've ended up not really using this ultrawide mode.

OnePlus Nord, main camera. This photo is pretty accurate to what the tree looked like in real life, from the colors to the silhouette.

OnePlus Nord, Nightscape mode. Detail starts to get quite soft here, but it's still good enough for a great-looking photo. The colors aren't oversaturated, too.

OnePlus Nord, main camera. I love the detail on my dog's coat here.

OnePlus Nord, Nightscape mode. This is a pretty excellent photo, but if you look closely some details are ruined by the aggressive noise reduction. Check the spires of the church, for example, which seem to be fading out of existence.

OnePlus Nord, Nightscape mode. Good colors make this a great photo. Zoom in and you can see some parts of the cyan structure aren't too sharp due to noise reduction.

OnePlus Nord, Nightscape mode. In real life, this scene wasn't *this* yellow. The Nord messed up the white balance a bit, but it's still a solid shot for a relatively dark scene.

OnePlus Nord, Portrait mode. I use portrait mode on all the phones I test *a lot*. It's one of my favorite camera modes, but I always end up shying away from using it on OnePlus devices. The blur outline around subjects are just never as accurate as some competitors like Pixel phones. This photo is also too flat and looks like it was Photoshopped.

OnePlus Nord, Portrait Selfie mode. Portrait mode is a little better when it comes to selfies. Selfies, in general, are OK on the Nord except in low light where they can look very muddy.
