Our testing of the recently introduced iPhone 16e is still ongoing. As part of preparing the review, I of course couldn't leave outchat nor an evening photo test to find out what the night photo mode of this model actually is due to the smaller sensor, which Apple put it in its camera. So if you're interested in the results compared to the cheaper iPhone 16 series, you've come to the right place.

Right off the bat, I have to say that the use of a smaller sensor in the iPhone 16e's camera is evident just by how early the night mode is launched when taking a photo. While in the case of the iPhone 16 (Plus) or 16 Pro (Max) in slight darkness you are still able to take the photos without night mode de facto by just pressing the shutter button and it's done, the same photo without night mode on iPhone You won't be able to take a picture of the 16th, so you have to expect that it will take longer to capture it, and you can't use your phone at that moment.oneI can move.
The differences are noticeable even after it gets dark and night mode is activated on iPhones 16 (Pro). Specifically, in such a case, it is necessary to take into account that the time required to capture the photo iPhonem 16e versus 16 (Pro) will stretch it out. In my case, I took most of the photos on iPhone 16 Plus with 1 second capture, while iPhone The 16e took three seconds to take the same photo. This may seem like a small difference at first glance, but keep in mind that you can't move during this time, and holding the phone still for one second is logically much easier than holding it still for three seconds. Taking photos in the dark on iPhone 16 (Plus) and 16 (Pro) is therefore significantly simpler than the iPhone 16e.
As for the quality of the photos, what I wrote about taking photos in good light more or less applies here - that iPhone The 16e tends to embellish more than is healthy in terms of software. While some evening photos taken with it may look more pleasing to the eye, those taken with the iPhone 16 Plus are closer to reality. Specifically, their colors are generally more natural when compared to the scenes they capture. But in general, I think that iPhone Despite the smaller sensor, the 16e performs really well in evening photography, and although it is sometimes clear when zooming in on photos that the smaller sensor sometimes results in a smaller amount of detail in the image, the result as such is certainly good.

So how can you see for yourself, taking pictures at night iPhone 16e really can – so miniThis is a bit of a stretch for a phone in its price range. So if someone is switching from a few years old iPhone, or a 2020 or 2023 SE model without night mode support, they will probably be quite impressed with its evening photography capabilities.

Pleasantly surprised
I thought that nowadays a single photo is a waste, and for that price, I have to hope that the photos are without any major differences.
Everyone looks at whether a phone has one or more cameras and judges accordingly. 😁
It depends on how the software and other things are fine-tuned and coordinated, and then even a single camera can do wonders. 😁
