Yeah, portrait mode is basically face ID in reverse and works a lot better than room scanning.

How does the lidar help with night shots though? Maybe focusing, but otherwise isn't it just a long exposure with algorithmic corrections?

Well that focusing part is pretty important :) The rest is mostly about gathering enough light and compensating for handshake, probably with some ML.

For a photo you don't need much more. I can tell you that handheld shots are much better and easier compared to full frame dslr.
