In our brief testing, we found the Night mode quite useful as it helps the camera capture detailed shots in low light -- without producing much noise.

Earlier this month, Samsung reportedly introduced a similar Night mode to the Galaxy Note 9 users in some markets.

The latest Galaxy A70 update also pre-installs Helo app -- without explicitly asking users to proceed the installation. Samsung is already amongst the OEMs that offer preloaded third-party apps on their smartphones.
