Originally introduced in the Pixel 3, Night Sight is one of the most compelling camera features that enables users to take clear images in low light by brightening up even the dimmest and darkest scenes. With the Pixel 4, Google is taking the feature a step further by adding the ability to capture the night sky in all its starry glory. Thankfully, the company has now announced that the feature will also roll out to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a through an impending software update.

It will be interesting to see which exact Night Sight improvements will come to the Pixel 3 and 3a, given their hardware restrictions. Many of the new functionalities depend heavily on the additional 16MP camera sensor on the Pixel 4, while its predecessor ships with just a single camera sensor on the back, which might make it incompatible with some of the new features of the latest handsets.
