To the left is the moon, on the right is Venus with the same luminosity if you weren’t seeing it through my phone camera. It’s probably the brightest I’ve seen in a year. Taken in Colorado so I don’t know how your local orientation will differ.

Your phone sensor is actually hella good. If you look at Venus through a telescope, you’ll see that we’re actually seeing her perpendicular to the sun-- a quarter of it in shadow and a quarter of it in light. I think that could be why it looks so odd here.
