Diwali nights are full of colour, lights, and fireworks – and capturing them perfectly isn’t easy. You need a phone that handles motion, light, and detail just right. Here’s a quick look at the best smartphones that can help you shoot those dazzling fireworks this year.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is built for tricky lighting. Its 200MP main and new 50MP ultra-wide cameras handle night scenes with less noise and more clarity. Moreover, you get 50MP periscope (5x zoom) and 10MP (3x zoom) telephoto lenses. You can even record fireworks in Dolby Vision 4K at 120fps – perfect for posting those glowing skies on social media.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro finally gives all three cameras 48MP sensors, offering brighter and sharper night shots. The 8x optical zoom is great for capturing distant bursts, while Dolby Vision 4K video keeps every sparkle clean and detailed. Even selfies with fireworks look better this time, thanks to the 18MP Center Stage front camera.
If you’re after professional-looking fireworks shots, the Vivo X200 Pro won’t disappoint. Its 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto lens and 50MP Sony LYT-818 main sensor deliver crisp results. You can shoot 4K slow-motion or time-lapse videos, while Vivo’s V3+ imaging chip keeps everything bright and balanced even at night.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL uses Google’s powerful AI camera to make low-light shots simple. The 50MP main and 48MP periscope lenses capture sharp, detailed frames. Camera Coach even guides you in real time – so every fireworks photo looks just right without much effort.
Oppo’s Find X8 Pro packs four 50MP cameras with dual periscope zoom lenses. Whether you’re shooting wide angles or close-up bursts, this setup handles both easily. The Hasselblad tuning adds natural tones, and the 10-bit HDR helps separate the fireworks from the smoky night sky.
Xiaomi’s 15 Ultra brings Leica’s tuning and a massive 1-inch main sensor for rich, detailed night shots. It even comes with a Pro Photography Kit – a shutter button, zoom wheel, and extra battery grip – so you can shoot fireworks like a pro without carrying a camera.
From Samsung’s sharp zoom to Pixel’s smart AI, every phone here offers something special for low-light shooting. This Diwali, you don’t need a DSLR – just the right smartphone to turn fireworks into stunning photos and memories that actually do justice to the night.
