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.

                Is it only me or I see that G4's pictures are slightly beter than the G5!!! I'm really disappointed from the G5 and waiting what htc will offerthis year but I don't thik that htc will make any better than LG. I upgrade my phone each year but believe it or not the only reason that I didn't upgrade my note 4 to note 5 is the IR blaster since it is a MUST HAVE feature since I don't like to search or keep too many remotes infront of me and f** samsung has ditch it and I don't think that it will returne in the note 6 or any future samsung phone while LG and htc keeps disappointing me year after year

                              Why was the iPhone added in this shout-out. We all know that the iPhone does not have the best camera in the market right now. I don't why people keep seeing the iPhone as a benchmark for phone performance.

                                As for the S7,iI think not much to worry either.S7 will excell only in "low lighting" and even there won't be the best.I bet even the old S6 will be better in daylight.

                                    The wide angle lens is perfect for activities. Buy only this all other no.

                                        Two cameras are not necessary,lg sacrify nice looking phone (nice back buttons and no bezels), vs not practical cameras ,horrendous design and huge black bezels...s7 will beat g5 main camera for sure due to the new focus.
                                        only 1 camera bit better than the G4 and lg success.
