I was pleasantly surprised when Samsung backported their "night" mode to my S9+. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I saw how much of an improvement it made in low light conditions.
If anything, it ensured my next phone would be a Samsung again (and it was, I went Note 10), so I think it's still a good upselling move to do so.
On that note, how far they've come since the Note 4 terrible TERRIBLE result in low light, that phone was top notch for its time but in low light it took several seconds for a single shot, focus sucked, grainy as hell ... Seeing a 9/10th gen phone instantly take those shots, with almost no grain and a lot of back details properly lighted is very impressive to me. I understand how it works in theory, but there is still a "wow I can't believe my phone pulls that off" factor for me.
