LG G4 stops by DxO Labs, rated second best

24 September, 2015
Some 5 months after the release of the LG G4 and hot on the heels of rumors of the G5's sensor, DxO Labs has published its review of the smartphone's camera.

Unfair comparison, basically means the Note 4 camera is actually better because even when it was released it still can match a 2015 flagship.

Note 4 has an excellent display panel, which can't even remotely be compared with G4.

Note 4 has S Pen, G4 doesn't, but then again its not a fair comparison because G4 doesn't mean to have an S Pen/ or any other stylus for that matter.

And there are quite a lot of other things where Note 4 will crush the G4, those are pretty important parts too, but nowadays people only care about camera, display etc., so skipping them, but old users will understand.

In any case, Note 4 is a "significantly better" device than G4, I have personally used the G4 of my friend's for a couple of days, and I couldn't wait to get my Note 4 back from him. Other than the camera, that too marginally, there is not a single thing which G4 does better. Extremely happy with my Note 4, and looking forward for Note 6, cause IMHO Note 5 is a failure!

    Guys Samsung pips LG due to display of images and videos on it's amoled screen.
    Transfer the images to a laptop and see the difference. LD bearts Samsung on all grounds.

      I'm happy LG and Iphone is not as good as Samsung. They always come second. The only phone that keep fighting to get second place. Pathetic. Go Samsung!

            I had a Galaxy Note 4 since April this year. It was returned & refunded in August due to some error at Samsung's end in updating warranty information. Since I had already used the phone for almost 5 months I decided to buy the LG G4. I've been using the G4 for a month now.

            1. No sir, the camera of the G4 and the Note 4 are not in the same league. Not even close. The Note 4 had been a 9/10 but the G4 is a 9.75/10

            2. Overall the Note 4 is the better smartphone (IMO) with its S-Pen, Super Amoled and much better build quality. Here, it is a 9.5/10 as opposed to the G4 being 9/10

            G4 doesn't have any lag in its launcher. It has a better CPU but has a weaker GPU. App opening times and RAM management is much better with the G4. The front facing cam on the G4 is miles ahead of the Note4. Selfies turn out to be awesome and noise free!

            I am not a big fan of numbers when it comes to comparing cameras & displays. I have always liked the iPhone's cameras but the Note 4 and G4 have outdone what Apple this time around. Not sure of the new 12MP sensor on the 6s though!

                New generation Samsung phones' cameras are excellent, Note 4, S6 etc. Their TouchWiz has been trimmed down as well. The call quality of Samsung phones are superb, and unlike many brands (LG being one of them) the antennas can hold on to signals even in urban/ industrial areas, where I could never get a signal from my G3 (past tense, sold that nonsense phone). The battery of Note series excellent, and unmatched from other true flagships.

                Quit your trolling, your user ID mentions "LG User" and yet you are calling others fanboys, ironic really.

LG needs to improve in that area. Other than that the G4 is better than the S6 camera-wise. I have the G4 and love it (it's a tad too big though :( )
                      Many on xda have tried both phones and confirm that the camera on the G4 produces better results.

We have their Microwave, Fridge, Stove, and I have the G4. All are super good products with really nice designs. Their TVs are really good as well. My wife still has an LG Windows phone from 2011 and it works great today.

                          I use a Note 3. And I could not care less about your comment on that, you have used garbage phones all your life, use a decent phone first, then come back here after five years or so, when you've gained a little experience.

                          One more thing, write English properly.

                                Samsung is of course pretty good, but my point is: The recognition that LG gets is less than the actual quality of their products. And for Samsung it is , though being v good, gets more recognition and sales than the actual difference in quality between it and the other brands quality ( like Sony, LG, Motorola, Nokia/ Microsoft...etc)
                                Anyways it is customers trending and preferences, people like to by popular phones ( and it happens that for now Samsung is on the top selling whatever we argued!!!!!!)
