Pixel 3 vs LG V40 Camera Comparison!

[@dannyc.1552]

wow the pixel 3's audio is terrible.

[@letkulettv2391]

pixel 3 did it on purpose. ask google

[@Elijah-wo8bm]

I noticed that too.

[@MrSelvin78]

Similar like iphone 7 plus.still that issue persists with 2018 7 plus model as well.Apple never attempted to fix and people said it was hardware problem.not sure if pixel's hiss though

It's audio really is.. Big chin no ex storage or headphone jack heavy little battery...

[@MAsterKakashi6]

If I am to bring a phone out to enjoy things, I'll very likely use Facebook Live at some point. The extra pic details of Pixel are not worth losing audio or the telephotos

[@FAZman23]

11:23 V40 is not having trouble blurring out snacks on the left. The relative distance of the snacks on the left to the lens is roughly the same distance as your daughter to the lens. As objects appear further away, they tend to get more and more blurry. This is true shallow depth of field. What Pixel 3 is doing is quite literally extracting the subject and blurring everything around it. People shouldn't really confuse shallow depth of field for blur. The V40 is miles ahead of Pixel in terms of scientific accuracy of the blur effect.

[@therealjim]

true

[@georged822]

it goes from tack sharp snacks to completely blurred in the next aisle, not to mention her hair getting blurred on the left side. Looks horrible actually and more fake than the pixel

[@sidersproductions941]

Super proud of LG for their progress this year. Almost talked myself into getting the V40 but my V30 is just right for me.

[@SDav21]

I feel they didn't do enough when there are phones like the Mate 20 Pro, Xs and Pixel. For now I'm moving to the Mate 20 Pro from my V30. If LG gets their act together next year, I'll move back. But for now the V40 is largely underwhelming compared to what the rest put out. :-(

[@sidersproductions941]

@@SDav21 how is it largely underwhelming? I mean did you just watch the video? It keeps up with one of the supposed best smartphone cameras although I agree that I would much rather have the Mate 20 Pro myself because of that camera system. It even has more video recording modes and capabilities than the Pixel 3 does so I'm not sure what else you're wanting from the V40.

[@SDav21]

@@sidersproductions941 I think the video wasn't spot on in my opinion. The pictures on the V40 were not good for a 2018 phone as my V30 seems to take similar images apart from the front camera. But we have Huawei out here giving 3d facial scanning, in display scanner, one of the biggest batteries, one of the fastest processors, amazing (not just good) cameras and a bunch more. LG should've done more. The V40 is not enough to upgrade from the V30. Huawei did much more in 1 year. The V40 is good but there are phones that are excellent. Makes me sad because I love LG but they desperately need to get their act together if they want to play with Huawei, Apple and Samsung.

[@sidersproductions941]

@@SDav21 well I can't persuade you from what you saw. For me everything was good and that's only in auto mode which has never been LG's strong point. You have a whole, capable manual mode to take care of the rest and for me, it always does. But Huawei really is on a whole nother level. They've done things this year that neither Samsung, Apple, or Google has pulled off so kudos to them. I'll most likely get one next year because what they're doing is next level especially with the 40mp sensor, night mode, and 3x optical zoom and digital zoom.

[@SDav21]

@@sidersproductions941 Yes. I will miss my LG but I see Huawei has implemented some nice manual mode controls too. I will miss the headphone jack but at least Huawei gives the adapter and USB C earphones. Other than that I am sold.

[@kjvisual7]

Now that was a very fair review. Kudos for not forgetting about the V40 like everyone else did. Seems like LG pissed off all the influencers. I really like the Pixel's sharp detail. But I also like how LG works with shadows. Hahaha, the front camera will probably be perfect for me. I really wish the standard rear camera was a lot sharper. Can you get a sharper image from the V40's standard rear cam if you are in manual mode?

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

You can add sharpening yourself yes using manual mode. All camera sharpening is processed in auto but with manual mode you can leave it soft or sharpen as much as you want.

[@tjveith]

Can you give me an idea of how good / fast autofocus is on the v40? One of my biggest complaints with all of LG's phones has been slow auto focus and blurry pictures. I take a lot of animal pictures in my job, the pixel 2 XL has been virtually flawless with shutter speed and focus. I would hate to switch over to a phone that takes forever to focus and creates blurry pictures. Any feedback you have on this would be greatly appreciated!

[@Tigerex966]

Can you put the google app that takes multiple photos for each photo on the V40?

[@Photoandcargeek]

The question is how does the V40 manage in RAW. Also, indoor auto white balance of the V40 is too warm. V40 looks like it is always in HDR mode. I use the V20 in manual mode and sometimes in RAW. Raw will tell us if the pixel 3 sharpness is due to a better lens or V40 has too strong smoothing in auto mode.

[@BlackopsUSN]

When you say 4k HDR is there 10bit video? Can you share some info on what app you're using for 4k hdr video? What bitrate can you achieve with the V40 for 4k 60?? You tried gcam for pictures? Thanks!

[@DivisionStreetDrums]

Max, I love your reviews. I started in the V series because of your vids and one thing I have noticed is the LG V series cameras shine when used exclusively in manual mode. Yet, almost every review or comparison video uses auto modes to do the review. I purchase phones with the camera in mind as my primary feature and almost exclusively use them in manual mode. I would love to see you do the comparison videos using each phone in manual and base your review on those parameters. Thanks again for the videos.

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

Yes will do, great idea!

[@DivisionStreetDrums]

@@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE btw, I purchased the clip and ND filters thanks to the video you posted doing the long exposure photos using the v10 or v20 can't remember now. If you end up doing the manual comparisons you can count on me to share the crap out of it. Thanks for the reply.

[@mergproject1]

Google released a response to why the sound quality is so tinny. The Google spokesman said that they made the mic avoid background noise and picks up the important sounds. I guess that's why it sounds so tinny. The LG mic sounds fuller but damn that background noise sorta sounds muffled. Has anyone noticed that?

[@letkulettv2391]

pixel 3 did it on purpose. ask google. its noticable ninety.

[@mergproject1]

yeah that's what im saying. Google said they did this on purpose. I would google to create the option of muting background noise and an option on the pixel 3 to turn that feature off.

[@fahdhasnain979]

Please let me know which is the best camera phone in terms of low light, picture details and color tone.

[@ArkadiuszLitwin]

but what about wide angle and zoom on v40?

[@liltruong]

im stuck between these two phones. i dont do alot of selfies. But i do go to a lot of music festivals at night so it will be at night time. which do you think would be the best for photos and videos.

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

Well music festivals usually involve lots of lighting and loud music. V40 is great for that since you can use manual mode for video and audio. But raw low light performance of Pixel is much better. Audio recording at concerts is amazing with V40 or any of LGs as they can cut the sound down.

[@liltruong]

Thank you for the reply. And thats good to know the different between audio and photo low light. Im leaning towards the LGv40 i guess like you said its whoever using it and their preference

[@cro-guy]

What the hell dude? How is this not biased? How can flat and slightly blurry images be better than sharp, albeit a bit dark (very easily fixable, especially with RAW) images with a way better dynamic range. Video is pretty similar, audio needs to be fixed on the Pixel. But in the photo and video quality Pixel is definitely the winner.

[@chiniel]

right!? and actually i have no problem with the audio in pixel 3, you can actually understand the person speaking but with the lg v40 you hear a lot of background noises. and te camera is really great in pixel 3.

[@Bharlos]

It's more about color, shadows, etc. He could have sharpened the pictures in manual mode.

[@xJohnNguyen]

The microphone for the Pixel 3 actually does seem to be a lot better in windy conditions than the LG v40. (although I believe the LG phones have a Wind Cutting setting that you may not have enabled) I find that the v40 sounds better with less wind though. I think this just needs software/firmware adjustments on Google's side.

[@thomashill5768]

How snappy/responsive is the V40 camera? My V20 is soooo laggy (is an old phone now tho). Have they managed to put burst shooting into damn manual mode yet?

[@drekorea]

Actually faster than Pixel 3. Very fast. I had to actually turn off HDR Enhanced on Pixel 3 as it was too laggy for daylight shots.

[@harysviewty]

Starting with g7, LG used pre-shot technology to get faster capture speed and liveview of HDR & portrait mode

[@baronofgreymatter14]

have you tried installing the google 3 camera apk on the V40?

[@NathanHallGadgetsGreatness]

Seems like the V40 video on the rear cams looked yellowed/warmer compared to Pixel 3. What do you attribute that to? Can that be tweaked? I just got the V30 Friday and I'm still figuring it out. The cameras are much different than those on my V30. You think?

[@reason1982]

V40 had a yellow hue. Look at the ice and the kitty faces on the sweater. Pixel 3 did have some dark spots where detail was lost. LG audio is not filtered out like the Pixel's. The Pixel wins at pics a vids but if they don't fix the audio, the V40 will be my new companion.

[@laserwaves9835]

Hi Max Lee, could you please port Google pixel 3 camera to LG V40 and check the results? Would be really grateful and appreciate if you could. Again, great comparison. 🙏

[@supaahflyy]

I 100% agree with the comments regarding LG picture processing. I have been thinking that Samsung and LG wash out faces and make them brighter compared to apple which gave people more of a tan and warm hue. This if you think about it, matches beauty ideals in those different parts of the world. White people want tans and Asian people want to be whiter

[@erikknudsen4034]

[@bigbluerios]

I have no preference to either android or apple but what phone can you have for 24 months and it not going to shit. I currently use note 8 and still going strong. I know Apple will update their phones for years so I'm on the fence. Note 9, lgv40 or iPhone xs max?

[@TechConsumption]

Was hdr on with selfies?

[@michaelashe5265]

Great review. I ordered the V40 online and am currently waiting for it to ship (backordered). I took some selfies of myself with the V40 today in the Verizon store and they looked similar to the ones you took. I'm not a fan of the way it smoothes out the skin. It looks too processed. The Pixel selfies look more realistic and clear. I hope a software update fixes this. Also, the ice in skating rink looks more accurate/white with the Pixel than the much warmer tone on the V40. But maybe you shot this near the "golden hour" in which case the V40 would be more accurate. The audio on the V40 was much better. I can't wait for my V40 to arrive!

Therefore, I think you can test the Pixel software on the V40 too... (I'm curious what that would bring) Anyways, great video!

[@JoiseyRepresent]

Great comparison video, Max. A few random thoughts from a novice - - The audio issue with the Pixel 3 seems to be that it is trying too hard to do away with wind noise when it's outside and the result is audio that is too muted. The audio on the Pixel 3 inside the skating rink was just fine. The V40's audio was OK - is there a setting to reduce wind noise? If not, LG would do well to include one with a software update. As for video, both phones did just fine. - Have to disagree about the selfies with the front-facing cameras. LG is overdoing it with the smoothing and the person has a sort of waxy look in the face. Something that LG could fix with an update Given LG's track record, I wouldn't hold my breath on that, however. Why they released the V40 with Android Oreo is beyond me. - I was surprised at how much better the V40 picture was at the 6:19 mark. That f1.5 aperture lens looks like it's doing its job by letting more light in. Why Google didn't upgrade the camera hardware on their phone is beyond me. - Grilled squid? - The V40, despite having better hardware, still struggles with low light. The V40 looks to be an improvement over the V30 and the G7 but they still have work to do. - Overall, the gap between the Pixel 3 and the V40 is very narrow. If Google wants to keep crowing about how their camera is the best you can buy then they are going to have to step up their game next year and at least put a better sensor on there.

V40 photos of the face looks similar to beauty mode on samsung galaxys like a paintbrush when u zoom in.

[@bobcoco6047]

I just thought of something: the V40 has an option to remove the background in portrait mode, so that you can separate the subject & do a cool trick I'll explain below. What you can do easier with the V40 than the Pixel (& probably most of other phones), is composition, with the isolated subject you took apart, & the background that you can shoot seperatly (just without the subject), by playing with manual focus (focusing closer will blur everything obtically vs numerically, & that way you can control how much blur you want). It obviously requires more work & using a dedicated soft like Lightroom/Photoshop then, but I just point out that with that "Multimedia tool", you have the ability to go that far to obtain an outstanding result!

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

Yes use a studio lighting and backdrop. Ohhhh let make a video!!!

Yeah that sure works too! But in everyday life outside, this technique is appliable, when you don't have studio lighting :)

I like most smartphone cameras when it comes to shots without people. Im a bit picky when it comes to portraits though. So comparisons with a lot of portraits like this is great.

I looks like bad photoshop and dull and unrealistic.

[@vicentepallamare2608]

[@davidbuchanan3374]

The only way to truely see how good each camera phone is in quality would be to have photos taken with a professional dslr to give a true representation of what the picture actually is like and THEN compare the same photos taken with both camera phone's in AUTO mode to compare detail, colour accuracy, blow outs, sky highlights against the dslr's photo etc..

The pixel crushes blacks , and when pixel peeping seems noisier in some shots , the v40 looks a bit less contrasted and a bit frosted in some shots. More shots in the pixel pics seem to me to be unaturally "too perfect " , or over processed and not real life like imo . Some may like that though .

I remember the note2 is when smart phone cameras matched if not finally bettered the Nokia N95 (great camera for its day (about 2006). The 6P is when a phone finally got good enough to replace a decent point and shoot. That's why is started this of with the 6P as my baseline.

Stephen Butler it's a shame the 6p was notoriously awful build quality. It's only a year ago huawei has properly caught up with build quality imo. I agree about the camera on the 6p though.

@@fairygodbrother my 6P was fine tbh, my lad just killed it earlier this month! When it was new I went to Spain, and forgot my nikon charger, so by day 3 I had only the 6P, and I was amazed at how well the holiday pics turned out. This year, I just took my P20p and my Pixel 1 ad a back up. Never powered the pixel up.

When you have more detail, you can just change up the contrast, brightness extra, post shot. Pixel gives you the better photo

Well we are just talking auto for people who don't know how to edit photos. If that was the case then we need to redo the test in manual mode with raw images.

I love my v40 I waited a few months or 2 and picked it for 700. Software adjustments will make the v40 cameras even better.
