Test 2: Nighttime Pictures
This demonstrates how the camera behaves at night when using a longer exposure to gather in as much light as possible. We took images using the camera’s Auto setting, as well as manually selecting the Night/Darkness setting. Between those two modes, all phones performed best when they were not using the Night/Darkness setting (leaving it set to Auto), since they had the tendency to come out blurry.
For our night tests, the Maxx Ve jumps up to 1st place (just like it did in our Q2 review), with images being in-focus, properly exposed, and with little grain being shown. The V9m comes in a close 2nd place, with images not being as sharp, due to the lack of an autofocus system, but are still properly exposed. The Voyager is in 3rd, due to some exposure problems and noticeable purple fringing. Coming in 4th is the FlipShot, which had more severe exposure problems and difficulties focusing in low light.

The phone’s performance, sorted from 1st to 4th place:
1) Maxx Ve: Night pictures are the most in-focus and with good exposure.
2) V9m: Images are not as focused as the Maxx Ve, but still have proper exposure.
3) Voyager: Most images looked too dark and there was noticeable purple fringing around bright areas.
4) FlipShot: The “night mode” caused most images to look darker, instead of brighter, and there were problems with the autofocus not working correctly.
