Here’s How the LG G4 Camera Stacks Up To the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6

Every flagship smartphone hype its camera with a spicy mix of marketing - speak . Laser Focus . Ultra Pixels . Often it ’s just bullshit , but I ’ve been using the camera on the new LG G4 and it it really does last up to the hype . Mostly .

The camera on the G4 should be great in hypothesis , due to its 1/2.6 - inch sensor size , which is larger than most phones ’ 1/3 inch sensors . It also has a brilliant f/1.8 crystalline lens and something called Laser Focus , which is supposed to be really truehearted . But specs and fancy names only get you so far .

To quiz LG ’s claims , I first did a flying compare between the G4 and the G3 in daylight and low light . There is in fact a significant betterment . So that ’s enceinte !

But I was more funny about how the G4 stacks up to the competition . I draw some examination comparing exposure from the G4 to a couple of the current most popular smartphones — theiPhone 6and theSamsung Galaxy S6 . Swaths of the phone - convey population swear by the iPhone camera , and in ourrecent testing , the Galaxy S6 proved to have redoubtable image snapping acumen . The perfect contender .

The take after tests are 1:1 craw , and should be viewed expectant with the magnify clit in the corner of each image .

Daylight

The first comparison is a dim-witted day cityscape to look at the clarity of detail . Holy hell , the results . The G4 knocks it out of the parking lot , showing clearer , sharper detail . The iPhone 6 looks like a fix next to it , with the Galaxy S6 somewhere in the heart . commend , this has nothing to do with resolution . It ’s true that the iPhone has half the megapixels other two earphone ( 8 vs 16 ) , but that should n’t weigh . If you resize the G4 and S6 down to 8 megapixels , they still show superior point to the iPhone .

Here ’s the full G4 range :

Low Light

The next mental testing is low light , where thing even out a bit . The G4 applies much more aggressive interference decrease than the other two telephone set , which usually make for a blurry disaster . But it actually holds up pretty well against the S6 and iPhone . Where the G4 falter is accuracy of color . you could see the shadows and low midtones agitate slightly purpleness . The iPhone has the expert color counterbalance of the three , which you could see most clearly in the clean lettering on the beer bottleful . But I would still call the G4 a decent performing artist in low light .

Front-Facing Cam

LG made a magnanimous ado about its selfie photographic camera being great , and not a compromise like it is on most phones . I put on my salutary creepy / panic-struck / coolheaded guy brass and snap a pellet . unluckily reality did n’t align with LG ’s claim . The G4 ’s front - face up television camera bring on a far blurrier look-alike than what the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 bring forth . It also made my skin sickly orange which I did n’t take account .

From these limited mental test , you could see that the G4 photographic camera is a mixed udder , but really shines in some of the most common situations . Daylight picture absolutely tattle , and miserable light exposure are not bad ! I did n’t document it , but when equate auto - focal point speeds , the G4 was on equality with the S6 , both of which were distinctly faster than the iPhone . And surely you could do other tests , gauge thing like fanfare and stabilization .

But for us pixel - peepers , it ’s great to see such skillful item from a camera earphone . I would say it ’s hard to do much well unless you go for a Nokia Lumia earphone . But get ’s face it , that ’s not an attractive proposition to most . For Android rooter , the G4 will get you groovy photograph . Good job , LG .
