LG G5 vs G4 vs. iPhone 6s vs. GoPro: Camera shootout

23 February, 2016
One thing is for sure, LG didn't play it safe - the LG G5 turned V10's dual-camera setup 180°. Unlike previous dual-camera setups, this one allows users to capture photos with a traditional FoV, wide-angle shots or both at the same time. We did an impromptu shootout with both G5 cameras, pitting them against various well-respected opponents.

Lately I have been observing friend's pictures taken with Android devices and I'm being amazed by the results!

        through pc viewing,the G5 shots look sharper and brighter than the less of two. i phone 6s didn't stand a chance,the blind i sheep fan boy couldn't accept failure.also the yellowish on 6s looks awful !

            The iphone 6s trashes the G5 in many of the shots. The G5 barely keeps up with the amount of resolved detail that the iphone camera brings to the table.

                Very obvious now the LG G5 has worse camera software optimizations than the LG G4, unless they are not being entirely honest about the camera hardware being used on the G5. Those two are definitely not performing at the same levels

                      Now this is the true battle of flagship between S7 and G5. Samsung will capitalize on the name and legacy, nothing great that can be called as an upgrade. No reason for atleast S6 users. Others will find it too expensive to think why not S6 if they are stuck with the name.

                      On the other hand, G5 brings creativity, flexibility and a premium feel. I myself who wasnt even thinking about changing my G4 before MWC, now eager to upgrade.

                      Way to go LG. You've done half of the job already. Other half to be done on sales and marketing . "Be ready to spend $1 bn in advertisements ;-)"

                            Didn't read the specs of that second camera before.
                            Quite dissapointing. I'm actually a fan of Ultra Wide angle cameras.
                            The resolution is not high enough, the nice thing with ultra wide angle, is that it catches more. But if the resolution isnt good enough, you still need to capture more zoomed in versions, to capture the details you want.
                            Then I read it didnt even come with auto focus.

                            They should have left that second camera out. It does take away from the looks.

                            The Power/fingerprint-button looks nice though.

                                It looked that way, now it's obvious. The G4 camera is better than the G5 one.

That is about opposite - 950XL may have nice still in good conditions, but loses grounds on Video and for majority of life situations - like low light, stabilization etc. Not to mention it looks ugly.

                                        This is all very confusing. I have read on various other sites that the G5 doesn't have laser focus. GSMArena says it does. Also, I read on AndroidBeat that the G5 doesn't have the Spectrum Analyser like the G4. So what is the truth? I cannot find a definitive answer!
