https://wccftech.com/asus-zenfone-6-update-improves-super-night-mode-and-hdr-mode-and-more/ > The ASUS ZenFone 6 is a refreshing experience compared to current flagship devices. The devices’ flip camera and notchless display are a testament to the fact that there multiple ways to increase screen real estate without a display cutout. Even the actual camera in itself is impressive, along with the top-of-the-line hardware. Granted that it may not perform as snappily as its equally specced (and accordingly priced) counterparts, the ASUS Zenfone 6 offers good value for those not wanting to spend upwards of $1,000 for a smartphone. Today, the device received its first ever major software update that bears the following changelog: > The new update includes improvements to the phone’s Super Night Mode camera mode. A lot of companies have been trying to shoehorn in their own version of Google’s Night Sight into their devices; OnePlus has Nightscape, Huawei has Night Shot and now ASUS. Low light photography has always been tricky, considering the size of camera sensors. Companies have to rely on a software-based correction to make up for the lack of actual ambient light. That’s partially the reason why Google Camera is capable of capturing some mind-blowing images even on devices that it isn’t native to. Additionally, the phone’s HDR++ mode (enhanced HDR+) is also receiving some optimizations and improvements. Other changes included within the update include volume key controls for the camera app, the ability to use the phone’s Smart Key as a shutter, and some system optimizations.
