Think about the ways you most commonly take pictures with your phone. How often do you take pictures in bad lighting or at night? How often do you capture panoramas? Google appears to have realized that the former scenario is much more likely, and as a result, the company is promoting its Night Sight feature to the main list of camera modes — and moving panoramas an extra tap away.
According to 9to5Google, this has already happen in the leaked Android Q beta build that made its way onto the web yesterday. Night Sight takes the place of Panorama as the left-most mode.
So if the decision holds when Android Q ships, these are the modes youll be able to swipe between from the main viewfinder:
- Night Sight
- Portrait
- Camera
- Video
- More (Panorama, Photo Sphere, Photo Booth, Slow Motion, Time Lapse, Playground, Lens, Settings, etc.)
The change makes all the sense in the world when you consider how much Google has advertised Night Sight and squared it up against the iPhone XS, which lacks a dedicated low-light shooting mode. Night Sight might have been bested by Huawei, but its still a standout feature for the Pixel phones.

Googles panorama mode, meanwhile, is quite good but not really a standout thing when compared to other phones.
But experienced photographers might be disapp
