LG V50 ThinQ 5G vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Comparison

The age old criticism of LG, out marketed by the others.

[@testcuenta6701]

Completely agree with you.

[@mehrabhasan2257]

The iPhone wins in exposure compensation in portrait mode & colos + focusing speed in video The LG wins in everything else to me; with more natural colors, more detail in the focal points (maybe the smaller sensor helps keep more things in focus), better shadows both in photos and videos.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Can't argue with that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

[@mariavarvaris1310]

@@GrantLikesTech iphone blur. Lg better more crisp

[@ruekurei88]

Can't agree there. The V50 is getting trounced in video, especially at night(more mirco-jitters and grain, less detail in 1080p and 4k modes as well as more colour banding) and exposure is kinda being blown out. The 'night mode' shots aren't helping much, but I can see how they could do well with absolute minimal light. The Iphone is dipping into contrast and saturation a bit too much during those portrait shot tho, but I suppose that's what people want in selfie shots.

[@BarryJohnson]

Wow, not what I was expecting when I clicked on the video. As always thanks for the time an effort that you put into these comparisons.

LG V50 STILL ROCKS AND CAN COMPETE TO OTHER FLAGSHIP PHONES

[@GrantLikesTech]

IT DOES AND IT CAN😉

[@TrollMeister_]

Thanks for this video. Just what I was looking for. My impression is under normal lighting the differences are subtle, not dramatic. The LG has slightly less dynamic range but not dramatically less. The LG's weakness is in the software. It tends to overexpose in high contrast lighting. It exposes for shadows which results in blown highlights. The iPhone does it more carefully by exposing for highlights and opening up shadows in processing. This results in smoother gradation but can look a little unnatural. In summary the iPhone is a little better camera with better software but not worth the many hundreds of dollars price difference given the LG's current prices.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Also if you're comfortable using pro mode, then you can easily adjust the exposure. V50 still has a solid main camera.

[@ifacedownworship]

Very accurate. Same with TCL phones. The problem is in the software.

[@williamisaacson4348]

Great job, Grant! Agree with your final assessment. However, being so close, I just bought an excellent condition V50 for $250 and the same condition iPhone 12Pro Max is $900. That made my decision, being that the V50 is also great for other aspects of daily use.

The daytime sky and the grass are more vibrant in the iPhone, but I'm not sure if they're realistic. There's a huge difference lowlight performance. LG just can't keep up. LGs colors change between 1080 and 4K, but also between lenses. iPhone is more consistent in colors in all 3 lenses. LG has better audio in video. iPhone has better stability and smoother footage. I think the V50 has sufficient camera hardware but the LG camera software is not up to par. It's auto, night mode, portrait are all bad. As a V50 owner, I just use manual camera and manual video so that I won't be compromised by the poor software algorithm of auto. The iPhone obviously wins by a significant margin if you add all its wins in each aspect. But I think LGs manual camera and video can close that gap.
