LG G6 Real Camera Review: More Flexible, More Complete | Pocketnow

[@karenford1713]

Juan you're freaking awesome. "The G6 does this deliciously." Love your enthusiasm and exhaustiveness for camera reviews. Second to none.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

This stuff is WAY too much fun not to take it seriously :-)

[@zergow]

one of the best camera reviews on youtube. Thanks

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

You're very welcome :-)

[@laurents1906]

zergow juan is the best hes the best when it comes to mobile camera very detail and for the display u can check erica griffin

[@artificialstyle998]

LG G6 price with that $650 price tag will likely sway me from the upcoming galaxy S8 with a rumored $800-$850 price tag. Also the V20 is on sale for $480, LG is just killing the game right now with these price points...

[@theisaiah70]

Artificialo Stylexd that's exactly why I'm getting the lgg6

[@alexandergoldman]

Artificialo Stylexd totally agree. the samsung messup has opened the door wider for LG. im writing this from my LG V20...and never going back to Samsung..

[@christmg4682]

Artificialo Stylexd History begs to differ. Major price cuts have been the norm of LG for years after few months from the release of the phones but yet people haven't bought LG phones in that scale like you guys are speculating.

[@lennyvasquez9922]

Where did can I get the V20 for $480?

[@artificialstyle998]

Lennz Vasquez t mobile website

[@sanaullah949]

viewing this on LG G6 makes it look even more amazing.

[@DJangles]

These are the best, most comprehensive smartphone camera reviews on KZbin, bar-none. I'm a nerd and I like to watch tons of videos like these out there, but I am confident in saying that if I had to choose just one camera review to inform my decision to buy a good camera phone, the Real Camera Review would easily be my choice. Please keep this going! And everyone give it the support it deserves!

[@MarvinNeumannOfficial]

Great video Juan! :) I always love to watch your videos here on PocketNow. Really value them :) So thank you very much!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

You're very welcome :-)

[@chandrasekharkar35]

nice information wrt v6 camera. BTW what was the phone case shown in this video? it looks nice.

[@MathsMuallim]

watching this on my LG G4😍

[@memoo9539]

Have you heard about the "LG-Bootloop" app? :) You should install it for an overall better experience and if you forget to install it, LG is kind enough to install it without you having to go through the hassle of doing so.

[@MathsMuallim]

Proteinloser Proteinshake go drink some milk boy

[@ИванОстапчук-щ5г]

Faizur rehman me too) from G4

[@tloughyourbro5204]

Proteinloser Proteinshake I have never had an lg phone bootloop

[@tloughyourbro5204]

Faizur rehman watching on the g5

[@wascarg5341]

This camera already looks better than my 7 plus . True that ,.

[@MrDelostboy]

wascar G but i7+ has potrait mode

[@wascarg5341]

And your point is?

[@defiant4679]

wascar G lg g6 freakin oversaturated

[@laurents1906]

PressureTaps - PianoTiles2 some people like some more saturated picture than the real one. It's personal preference

[@defiant4679]

Its disgusting. Making me puke

[@TrevBec]

Easily the best, most thorough and informative smartphone camera reviews. Looking forward to the P10 Plus review!

[@Pocketnow]

First!

[@efrainy1949]

Pocketnow 3 seconds off lol. Keep up the good work

[@MarvinNeumannOfficial]

20th :P

[@nawafalshahrani4709]

Pocketnow we can't judge on the quality of camera with 360p i hope you will upload it again with better video quality thank you 😊

[@ahmadkamal2911]

Nawaf Alshahrani its uploaded in 1080p 🤣

[@nawafalshahrani4709]

Ahmad Kamal hhhhhhh🤣 thank you to remind me

[@MinhPham0407]

Damn what a good quality of video capturing at 6:00, too bad night time video shooting still suffers from softness and noise, LG camera inherent weaknesses.

[@falcone7908]

Watching this on my G4, waiting for the G6 to be released in May for to make an upgrade!

[@bartholomew9453]

Can this phone shoot raw photos?

[@gloppy101]

Nicely done Juan. Looks like the camera has no problem with movement with solid vibration reduction. Tempting.

[@derzulya]

Best audio and camera reviewer on KZbin. Period.

[@andrewwangcn916]

please make a real camera review between v20 and g6? is g6 really that better compare to v20? feel like minor upgrade in term of cpu, camera quality ( dispute smaller sensor) and the full vision screen with ip68.

[@yagztufek5678]

I have been hyped for this video

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Enjoy :-)

[@NathanMulder]

I must strain that the locations you use for your camera reviews are beautiful. This is in California right? Man it does look pretty!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I can't complain :-)

[@NathanMulder]

I understand! Enjoy it :)

[@tiattahiscupcakecandykatan2453]

Yes California pretty amazing, if you are an outdoor person seek adventure and excitments, California has pretty interesting sights to see and attraction. I most like going museum, my favorite and must see is the Gettys Museum, it's an art museum but fun fascinating place to take your girl friend if she has taste for art

[@mmj19833891]

what stylus is that?

[@rodolfoortega1574]

LG G6 rocks and this review makes it easier to understand why... Deliciously. ... Nice Juan Carlos

[@karmaclysm]

Hi Poketnow! at 2:50 minute you use a pen to operate on the phone, can you or anyone watching this video tell me what pen is that? I noticed the small tip and that it looks quite precise and I'm looking for a pen to use on my G6. Thanks =)

[@captainawesome1951]

Wow, I'm impressed . This is the best camera review on any phone I've watched . I'm subscribing

[@LazorVideosDestruction]

I saw some projector ad and then liked the video thinking that I was liking the projector ad. Anywho, time to watch the video now

[@jeffreyd1701]

Great review and my compliments to you on your choice of background music.

[@vivid-master]

still using LG G6. no complain at all

[@fazevon3634]

Really? In the battery?

[@jareddominguez5312]

Looks good so far, interested to see the final software review. Great video bagnell!

[@salwamuslimah5648]

LG have had amazing cameras on their phones for years. I have the G4 and my brother has the iphone 7plus and even he prefers my photos and is shocked my G4 which is nearly 4 years old still takes better photos then his 7+ When we have family gatherings etc everyone allows me to take the photos on the G4 as they gave up on their mobiles years ago they don't even try anymore lol I am shocked also as I thought G4 is out dated. So I am excited to get my hands on the G6 and see how much more of an improvement it has and hopefully it will stand as being the bet smartphone camera for another 3-4 years. Even my dad wants my phone and he is an iphone fanatic for the last 5 years.

[@reckie1000]

The G4 has a spectacular camera. both front and back cameras are absolutely fantastic. i upgraded to G6 and was extremely disappointed with the camera quality, which is utterly trash.

[@surethom]

You say one of the bes audio recording, but from your video audio clip & others I have seen, it sounds so so tinny,like a phone from 2012 not 2017?

[@kylesousa2051]

I don't get why some reviewers are saying this camera is a weak point for the phone. the camera is super important for me and those reviews have me nervous, but then I always come back to the real camera reviews and get way more, and in this case more positive, information

[@aman888]

You're one of the best phone camera reviewers and we know your reviews encompass the selfie camera. You don't need to reiterate in every clip how much you "hate taking selfies". We get it, you're not a vain person, but it comes with the territory.

[@BadGamer0]

Love the Aftershokz Titaniums. Watching this with my blue pair.

[@pwilliam7559]

Why LG cant fix that camera jittering during recording video?Pixel,iPhones 6/7,Samsung s7 are so smooth when it comes to video stabilisation.

[@dxnnxxmc]

I'm planning on getting this phone next week,but part of me kind of wants to wait for the S8. But I've also never been a Samsung fan and I'm in LOVE with this phone so, Samsung can suck it. I would've got the Note but that didn't go well so

[@Kenzirs]

Travis Sivart Got this phone recently and its actually so great. This video does not do justice to how good the camera actually is.

[@nowfalahamed2505]

@JuanBagnel Is the G6 camera an upgrade or downgrade from the V20

[@IndianGagdgetGuy]

LG G6 >> iphone

[@ilhammohd3077]

Samay Patel p10 ?

[@Pattfahey]

Depends on what you're looking for

[@godbolin]

ilham not much improvement from p9.

[@swarnadipbhowmik6436]

Samay Patel are you dumb?

[@-_.-]

K_Q_ J_H literally every one of the things you said is completely subjective

[@Nevpaurion7]

Hoping a real audio review comes out, feeling a little bummed that I'm losing the DAC from my V20.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

We did put one out.

[@Nevpaurion7]

JuanBagnell thanks man! I actually found it and liked it, watched it, loved it. No one else out there takes audio as seriously as you guys do, and I really appreciate your work!

[@anjnabhimani4221]

when it comes to camera review. Juan nailes it. keep rocking :D

[@ravimittal147]

Does the LG G6 blur out the background in front camera? That's something I don't like in my phone which I use to take selfies with landscapes. Btw, really love your camera reviews Juan!

[@freddywayne]

I don't understand how he takes such amazing images with all the phones he's tested. Good job....I think.

[@saraaaaaaah]

I was using the LG G4 for almost 2 years and sadly have to replace it due to the boot loop defect. I bought the G4 mainly because in 2015 it had one of the best (or even the best) smartphone camera. Now I am wondering, if the G6 camera is really better than the camera of the G4 ?? The wide angle is a nice feature, but unfortunately, LG downgraded the front camera... What about the rest. Can the G6 camera compete with the one of the G4?

[@cipristupi]

What pen did you used to manipulate camera settings at 2:50?

[@MarcelHlbocan]

Was really curious about this one. Seems like I will have to wait for the V30. If they can improve the camera a bit, include a quality DAC, the 835, and keep the formfactor of the G6 that would be one hell of a phone.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Just cram all that into the V34 shell and I'm SOLD!

[@azatecas]

I want more camera reviews from this guy !

[@PS5Pro4K60]

You should schedule it so it's 1080p when it publishes :P I'll be back since it's currently 360p haha

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Must be on your side. We published with 1440p at the ready. Interesting.

[@CT-xs7ls]

JuanBagnell I have the same issue too Juan.

[@MegaSasukeAmaterasu]

Really? Every pocket now video i have seen are in 1080p. Do you guys upload in 1440p often? What the hell youtube.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

We've done almost all of our camera reviews in 2160p. For some reason KZbin is being jerky with the processing for this one. It should swap up to UHD at some point. Damn youtube...

[@MegaSasukeAmaterasu]

If only i waited 7 min longer. It switched just now to 1440p lol. Thanks youtube for only taking 1 hour to change the resolution lol. Keep on doind those great reviews wich are my favourites Juan. Hopefully the final version of the G6 will look even a bit better ;).

[@akramakki7743]

Best camera review on KZbin

[@dalebarker2]

Great information. Just ordered this phone, and my wife loves manual mode so I will have her watch this as well. Thanks!

[@furqansiddiqui8129]

What about the glare problem??... is that there same as last year??

[@david05cm]

What is the camera quick launch method on the G6? Does it even have one like on GS7, Pixel, Nexus, etc?

[@bydustin]

3T or G6? Is it worth the extra money for the improve camera performance of the G6? Which OIS performs better?

[@billyteodocio7485]

What is the case you are using in this video? Looks so stylish

[@syedtanvirulhasan5507]

Great review as always!! Loved it !!!plz try do a review of Xperia XZ premium if you have one!! :)

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Don't have one yet, but when we get one we will be putting it through the same tests :-)

[@NeXMaX]

Riyad Hasan I hope it's significantly better. That XZ Premium is so tempting. Would be a shame if Sony hasn't sorted its software.

[@Sleeping-nomad]

Having the V20 I can say I might not change to the G6. We'll see though. Keep it up!

[@fpl_bailey]

David FR I agree but rather wait to see what the V30 got up its sleeves

[@Sleeping-nomad]

koolyo2foots Indeed. LG's camera manual mode is like no other, Especially the V series.

[@farazkamil7317]

Juan, is the camera better than the S8 and iPhone 7 plus? I'm going to buy a phone this month. Also, I'd like to use the manual mode more often. Please do reply. Thanks.

[@cDekKk]

What's better? Shooting in RAW or in JPEG?

[@alexguitar841]

So if I'm on one of those lease type of plans with my V20, would you say that's it's worth trading it in for the G6?... A lower monthly payment would be nice, but I am a fan of the DAC and extra storage the V20 provides me. Just curious what your thoughts are.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's tough to say. Really just depends on HOW much you value the form factor over actual hardware features.

[@burakhuseyinkunt8053]

I want to have a go with amateur mobile photography. I'd like to learn the manual modes and I have 2 phones in mind, G6 and P10. I absolutely love the idea of a wide angle camera but I also like a nice hdr mode and a little punchy looking pictures and the photos from the main camera of G6 seem a little dull :/ Which one would you recommend?

[@franciscocerda6806]

Best camera ever.. the only mode I still can't figure out is the pop out mode but it's still the best I've had

[@dezstepz2427]

where do you get the tshirts!!!?????

[@TradeManGM]

Which transparent cover is applied in your LG g6

[@marashah.ibrahim]

Do you think that manual/pro controls while shooting videos can help my OP3 get better videos? Just curious. And I bought your book on Amazon, after watching your latest video on SGG, it's exactly what I needed. As I don't have any dedicated camera, only my OP3. So Thank you very much.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Video "quality" won't change, but the nice thing about manual controls, it allows you to dial in the brightness and sharpness you want. It makes it a LOT easier to incorporate into a multi-camera workflow.

[@marashah.ibrahim]

JuanBagnell yes yea exactly... Whenever I need to film a video it gets really frustrating after 15-20 mins as locking the focus everytime the subject moves or the exposure changes take a long to adjust automatically, also the exposure control 'ring' looks really cool but while taking a video it's really hard to get the exact exposure, unlike the pixel camera which has an adjustment bar(even though I really hate the phone😛). Can you please suggest a good video recording app for OP3....... THANKS for the reply. 😀

[@hussaintanwir5105]

Better wide angle rear camera photos! G6 or G5??

[@MrDefeater94]

A good camera for people who use manual controls but for simple point and shoot it doesn't do the job well imo. A step up from previous LG phones but they need to improve the quality more.

[@joserobertocastellon]

Thanks for another great review! There certainly wasn't as much enthusiasm as with the P10 review, which says a lot about the direction Huawei is taking. Speaking of which, I'd love to see a comparison between the P10 vs 3T. Which would you prefer if the deciding factor was the camera, for both photos and videos?

[@NeXMaX]

JoeyBobC P10. There's just almost no contest. The P10's still camera performance is stunning. The 3T is no slouch but it's just not on the exact same level. When it comes to video, though, they're somewhat even. Honestly, it's kinda unfair. The P10 costs a little more, while the 3T is focused on being a killer deal for less than $500.

[@sirnubenegra]

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Dah! I was FLYING trying to put this together and totally missed a spot to pop in some savory and delicious megapickles...

[@sirnubenegra]

JuanBagnell what's you shirt size? i made a shirt design. i will post the link after i get home. keep up the good work.

[@luisme20]

I've read lots of reviews saying that the front facing camera of the G6 is pretty bad, is that True?

[@Christian-cm4zl]

can you tell me which Phone you would prefer when you compare Huawei P10 and the LG G6. i mean specially the camera and the Battery Life.

[@xarturpx]

What kind of stylus is that when he is tapping during the focusing part when showing off the camera app?

[@karimgodoy]

Another great vid!!! keep em up!!! from your buddy that said "hi"on the Bcn-Mia Flight.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Hey buddy! Glad that was such a smooth flight. Hope you've been well :-)

[@robertomejia7581]

It has raw photo?

[@TechWizz]

What case is that?

[@ShellymanStudios]

The camera on the LG G6 looks amazing!

[@adyionita370]

great video as usual. i am currently still rocking a v10 and was sold on the g6 especially on the cameras until i saw your video. looking at the photo samples and your comments and comparing to the v10 I tend to think the sony 258 sensor is actually a step back compared to v10. what are your thoughts?

[@fallback8314]

i have a V10 also, a white one. love it but kinda tired of this same sensor being used for 4 straight phones. i'm looking hard at a Nexus 6P

[@fallback8314]

i have a V10 also, a white one. love it but kinda tired of this same sensor being used for 4 straight phones. i'm looking hard at a Nexus 6P

[@fallback8314]

i have a V10 also, a white one. love it but kinda tired of this same sensor being used for 4 straight phones. i'm looking hard at a Nexus 6P

[@mrgonse80]

Hey Juan. What brand of case do you have on the G6? I like it.

[@Shaybabe723]

Bought the v20 to see if I'd like it but I originally wanted the g6.. Now that it's coming out tomorrow I'm going to return the v20 and get the g6 tomorrow :)

[@tangara010]

Shay Anderson how is it?i wanna get rid of my s7 edge but thr front facing camera is not that great according to some reviews

[@jamesbooker6284]

How does this stand against the Huawei P10? If you had to choose one based on photographic capabilities which would you choose?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

For photos, not video, Huawei is my current fave.

[@jamesbooker6284]

Would you say the quality in photos is higher on the P10 generally? I've seen in your videos that the data is easier to reclaim in post. I do like that G6 display and wide angle though... It'll have the be excellent to make me give up my P9.

[@NizarNoor]

Videos look so flat/washed out. What is the best video editor app on Android for boosting saturation/contrast without losing quality/reducing bitrate?

[@oorumaito]

Thanks for the great review Juan! That shameless plug at the end actually worked. I'm so buying your book! I just hope it's available in my country's amazon store 🙂 I'm buying a new smartphone soon and I want to step up my photography skills. keep up the great work! 👍

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Sepaw37 hope you enjoy it :-)

[@mariusmocanu7063]

what is the difference between the korean version, US version and european version?

[@shehzadhamza6582]

I bought the lg g6 plus yesterday. I am really dissapointed with the front camera. Its like a webcam or vga quality. Is it like that or there is any fix to it. I changed from setting to 5mp which i feel is very less for a flagship phone. I bought it after watching reviews like this. Truly dissapointed.

[@GhidorahCAM]

what case did you have on that phone? it is perfect. I want one.

[@mjabdus86]

Hi! which would you choose for a good all rounder camera in a smartphone, the LG G6 or S7. I am undecided between these two equally priced devices. I am getting one for my wife's birthday. I'm concerned about the low light quality in the LG G6, is it really bad over S7? but Im inclined to get the LG because of presumably better software updates? Thank you!

[@SamirCousinRimas]

Juan, excellent review! One thing I've been trying to find an answer/comparison to is how the auto focus stacks up against the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. Care to weigh in please?

[@aprilknight9240]

I love my G6, and I really love the camera! Being able to take raw images and process them with Snapseed is great. By the way, which case did you have on this one?

[@NIAGTLH]

Juan, how is the camera now!?

[@tahut1]

Is there a way to turn off HDR mode?

[@edwinhay6967]

link for the case?

[@jonathanaceves3050]

Is the video software here from the v20

[@hotdog4927]

What case are you using on the g6?

[@yamangyinh6521]

Which better between v20 and G6

[@piteshmistry9957]

what stand do you use in the video? Can it mount on a tripod?

[@jonm420jm]

just got a G6 today and it's going back tomorrow

[@tangara010]

Jonathan Melchor why i wanna get it

[@jonm420jm]

too much of a compromise coming from an LGv10... as a content creator I just couldn't take that far of a reduction in photo/ video quality. front camera is the worst front cam I've experienced since maybe 2012 with devices like the galaxy S5.

[@tangara010]

Jonathan Melchor damn i mau keep my s7 edge for now.my brother v20 selfie camera wasn't great especially in low light with too much noise and he returned it

[@dreamchaser5753]

Jonathan Melchor bro why is my lg g4 camera 10x better than my g6 I just got today

[@MadMetalShop]

shoots 4k video and says he doesn't like the step down from v series. I dont understand. ive been a g series owner and still wondering what the hype is with the v series. my g series video have always been very good quality and I also create content.

[@xSkittlesxNewbx]

how is everyone taking such good pics with this phone?! mine always turn on granulated

[@minhbu95]

hey Juan, this or the s7's camera is better? Thanks!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Depends on what you like to shoot. Check out our S7 Real Camera Review and you can compare for yourself :-)

[@10tenman10]

I'm waiting for the Note 8. Hope it has a great camera.

[@xcbrr50]

one major issue for me is that these phones ( V20 also ) record video with wide frame rate range, 24 fps drops down to 12!. edit : *recording on Internal Storage since its way faster than any solution
