Right now, you only see a progress bar when a Night mode picture is being saved. There is no indication of how long the phone will take to actually capture the picture before the camera starts saving that picture to storage for your viewing pleasure. You are simply told to “hold your phone steady while taking night shots,” and I do try to be as steady as I can, even holding my breath at times to reduce camera shake. To Samsung's credit, you don't have to be as still as a mannequin to prevent shaky Night mode pictures, and having an indication of how long you need to hold the phone would make the experience better.
It would be especially useful for Night mode for the front camera on the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, as a countdown would tell you how long you have to exert your willpower to keep the phone steady and tell your friends just how long they need to keep staring at the camera without moving a muscle. Perhaps it will be tricky for Samsung to add such a countdown or indicator as the time needed for Night mode to capture photos can depend on how dark the scene is, but even if that's the case, I hope the company can figure something out to make it work.
