LG V60 for me. Colors are more true to life.

Great detailed comparison Grant! Seems like both perform well in different conditions.

[luisparedes]

LG improved a lot in ultrawide camera/night shots comparing to previous models. Between these two, the camera performance is slightly different overall . Considering the fact that the Pixel 5 currently almost doubles the prize to the V60... I'd go for the LG.

Great and very thorough comparison video.

I'd like to make a few observations, having owned both the pixel 4 xl (not very different from px5, same sensor etc.) and the v60.

Even on full auto in your example I can see the Pixel really oversharpening and forcing contrast to get out those details, which is especially visible on the crop zoom examples, whereas the v60 has more softness, losing a bit of details but retaining imo a much more natural and appealing photographic look.

As a photographer used to editing and viewing photos on the big screen I really appreciate that.

While it oversaturares greens and blues in Samsung fashion there is also a powerful native Manual Camera app that produces extremely true to life photos and video in terms of color science, defiitely superior to both its auto mode and pixels results.

I was very surprised by the almost iphone-like video stabilisation on the pixel 5, where I have to use a gimbal with the v60 to get anywhere near.

On the other hand, v60 seems to have done a much better job at keeping zoomed video stabilised for some reason.

Again here with the native manual video mode on the v60 one can get much better results out of the box, but overall I'd say pixel offers better hassle free experience with shooting video.

However I have to say this is a bit like comparing apples to oranges. To get best results from the v60 you HAVE to use the manual modes, it's the reason they put them there in the first place, and a reason why you would even want to use a larger sensor, and they are actually very well implemented.

Night shots for me they traded hits, again the pixel seem a bit too forcefully contrasty and punchy for that instant satisfaction on a small screen. Whereas night video goes to pixel.

Man you got to give it up to LG! They have always been such a underrated phone in the tech world. They have always had a badass camera I mean that in a great way. They can just spend a little bit more time optimizing it they would truly have a killer. After owning a pixel 6 for the past few days I might have to take a look at that new LG or the old LG rather..

[roywilson]

Pixel is more consistent when all you want is to whip out your phone and get a great shot or good video. But if you know how to use manual settings (which I don't) the LG can really get excellent pics and video that looks better than anything pixel does on auto.

[Brian_Lau]

V60 did pretty well. The colors are too saturated on the LG phones still. Thanks for the in depth comparison Grant.

[jmlinden]

The LG has more accurate colors and details in good lighting but it's just too grainy and oversaturated in dark photos and night mode.

[denn]

I'm also using gcam on my V60 and it does better than the default camera in some areas

[luan]

I didn't see the live view in night mode photo. So sad :( Thank you so much for a great battle.

[trinikenshin]

The Pixel edged it for sure but if you consider that the Pixel is about 5-10% better in photos (more detailed and better dynamic range), then the LG is the much better phone... because you get the headphones and the sd card slot.

Also if you throw in GCAM then the margin is almost gone in photography.

The 1st song in the background. Details Please. As a long V series fan, ill wait for the V70 to launch before deciding what to get.

[jovaneybernard]

Love the V60 but the pixel does put up a really good fight

[espinosaRD]

Damas & Caballeros ❤ el audio LGV60🎉

[robertrios]

Love my LG v60. It was great during the day but not great at night. It needs light. Because I live in nyc and it does great here in dark areas.

[pagutierrez]

finally a video that can help me decide... thanks

[mmike]

Both phones are OK with cameras but LG is a little bit taking the lead. And the audios on the LG v60 is excellent.

[Adrenaline.addict]

V60 is more natural and it has more blur in the background(v60 have a bigger sensor)

[leonardodavinci]

The V60 is a better phone but the pixel 5 has the better camera based on the pics in the video.

My V60 have 4k 60fps HDR10 with the front camera. And i always disable the EIS is to much crop. Try do some test with that conf.or just 4k60fps without EIS
