Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Top Most Benchmarks and Battery Tests, While 6 Plus Lags in Graphics
AnandTech spent the weekend benchmarking the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, comparing the duo to the iPhone 5s and competing Android handsets. The test results show that iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models are at the top of the charts in CPU benchmarks and battery life, while the iPhone 6 Plus lags in graphics performance due to the larger screen.
Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus during its recent September press event and launched the phones on September 19. The two handsets include Apple's new A8 processor, M8 motion co-processor, 8-megapixel iSight camera, faster 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi‑Fi and NFC. Demand for the two phones was high with Apple selling 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units in the first weekend of sales.
In in GPU benchmarks, we generally see a pretty solid lead over the competition for the iPhone 6/A8. It's seems quite clear that there is a significant impact to GPU performance in the iPhone 6 Plus due to the 2208x1242 resolution that all content is rendered at. It seems that this is necessary though, as the rendering system for iOS cannot easily adapt to arbitrary resolutions and display sizes.AnandTech also examined battery life, noting that "Apple has managed to do something quite incredible with battery life. " Even with a smaller 1810 mAh battery, the iPhone 6 manages to beat out the iPhone 5s and most other Android phones on the market. Not surprisingly with its 2910 mAH battery, the iPhone 6 Plus grabs second place behind the Huawei Ascend Mate 2.

Benchmark scores matter to a select few people. What Apple counts on, and what most people care about, is having a good experience using the phone.

I'm going to get some toilet paper and take it to south korea. With the awesome sales and this, they will **** themselves.
Keep your declining Samsung. Let's see how many quarters in a row! My bet? 24.

Still, you'd hope that the A8 would be able to compensate and at least edge ahead of the A7 in that regard...
How disappointing if the GPU turns out to be not much improved from the A7 silicon...
The iPhone 6+ is pushing 2,742,336 pixels every frame. The iPhone 5S is pushing 727,040 pixels. Literally over 300% more pixels, AND its performing competitively. How can you possibly conclude its not much improved?

No doubt the A8 is a good chip with a strong GPU. But the iPhone 6 screen is much lower resolution that other flagship phones (including the 6+). That's why in this 'on screen' benchmark it scores so high. If android flagships still ran 720p screens with their current chips then you would be able to compare.
Here are the "off screen" results:
