Blind shootout revealed: G6 vs. Galaxy S8 vs. Xperia XZ Premium

16 May 2017
We love ourselves some shootouts, hope you do too, as we have one in store for you. We're prepping a three-way clash between the LG G6, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Sony Xperia XZ Premium covering all aspects of their performance, but we figured it couldn't hurt to warm you up with some pixel peeping.

    A : S8 (most pictures are good in contrast, and sharpness)
    B : XZ Premium (typically bad in nights shots, blurry images)
    C : G6 (over sharped edges, lines, in some cases lost details)

        In some cases Phone C's photos were too soft (whatever the phone is) yet,it had way too many votes just cause its photos were brighter!!!

                Here xzs destroy s8 also https://youtu.be/aApN9liJl-o

                The premium xZ has more angular it is impossible that in the cut this closer

                For angular
                C = xperia xz
                A= lg g6
                B= s7

                  Why is Moto G4 Plus the only camera that captures the watermark?
                  Both in good light and low light, it is the same.
                  So, are the photo comparison as accurate as we would like it to be?

                    Fine. I'm a Sony fanboy, but I want to be honest here.
                    A is G6
                    B is XZ Premium
                    C is S8

                    Can we just have our own choices? It's not like we're not free to have our own opinions.

There's no way on God's Green Earth that a 19MP produces detail levels that low Vs 12mp shooters in daylight. A has all the processing hallmarks of the Sony.

                          Why test a phone that is not in retail still?
                          Sony themselves said that retail unit will have an updated camera software to further improve what we have already.
                          I ain't saying XZ Premium retail unit will blow the two away, but it's far more fair to compare the official ones than the pre-production ones.

                          And btw, I'll give vote to the S8, but I'll give my respect to B, which I suspect is the XZ Premium. Got the smallest aperture, smallest pixel size, and no OIS, yet still manages to get some impossible results that doesn't really blow anything away, but isn't the worst.

                          And I'm laughing at that guy who said the Note 4 will beat the XZ Premium. XD.
                          Xperia Z5 series already blows the Note 4's camera away, and comparing to the XZ is just nothing of a question, and the XZ itself is not even comparable to the XZs/XZ Premium.

                          Still waiting for DxOmark's test and will provide us fantastic low light results from the XZ Premium.

                                    I don't care which one is best but I simply wanna confirm whether #B is XZP or not. And then I wanna laugh some more, though not much laughter left after reading the phone's review anyway.

                                      It is impossible for a 2017 flagship camera to be that horrible!

                                        The sharpest one (but oversharpend) photo is the s8, the less sharpen but the cleanest output is the g6, while the noisiest image is from xz premuim . In the lowlight shots, obviously the sharpest and the cleanest output is the s8, next the g6 and lastly, the xz premuim. This is only my thoughts
