Google Pixel 3 XL vs LG V40 ThinQ / Camera Comparison By Daniel Sin

But today we'll be doing the LGA 40 versus the pixel 30. Now for the front-facing cameras, they all got the same megapixels with just eight, except for the wide angle on LG, which is down at 512, except for LG's super wide angle, which is 16. So this is how it looks like under wide angle lens on both cameras and I. Do want to mention that for the firmware they are updated to the latest Mac. So this is the front-facing low-light test to see which one is better in low light. There is no light source hitting me right now, except for the lights on the buildings, so that is the only light, that's hitting me, but let's switch to the wide-angle.

So this is the wide-angle lens portion to see which one is better again looks like the LG is doing worse from my end, but yeah. Let's move on to the next section straight out, the bat I would say the LG got much more vibrant colors than the pixel 3, as shown the red pops up, much more on the bricks than the pixel 3, where it looks a little more muted. The high dynamic range is perfect on both and in this picture the LG looks like it's a little more saturated with the LG v 40. You do get a wide angle lens, which is great. If you want that option, I think it's perfect, because I do love getting those epic wide moments.

You can't do telephoto LG get their own lens, but the Google uses its software AI, which is perfect and detailed as well using portrait mode for objects. They both do pretty good I do like how LG tells you that the subject needs to be closer or not where the pixel doesn't really tell you when the effect is on. Another thing to notice is that the pixel 3 gives you that telephoto look, whereas the LG looks like a wide-angle lens, but the backgrounds just blurt out front-facing portrait mode, pixel wins hands down. You can see a tree behind me on a pixel, but what the LG it looks, all blown out with a wide selfie same thing, all blown out with the LG in the background and a pixel 3 looks much wider, so we can fit more people in your selfie shots. Moving on towards the low-light portion, I would say.

Overall, the images on a pixel looks much warmer than the LG. The pixel also tries to correct the coloring as well as you can tell it's much more yellow on the LG versus the pixel 3. The portrait mode on a pixel 3 isn't always perfect on the very left. You can tell that the tree is not blurred out, but the background overall I think is more pleasing. Because of that telephoto look, the LG has a wider shot.

So all you really need to do is walk two steps forward, and you would get about the same image now with the LG. It is a wider lens, so your subjects tend to look longer or skinnier versus the pics. With the three now in really low light situations, the pixel does expose the subjects a little better on the LG. You can't really see Darren's face at all now trying night mode on both of these cameras. There's a huge difference on the pixel 3, it's more exposed, but there's a lot more artifacts going on the LG does look cleaner, but it is darker as well where I would place the LGA 40s night mode is a step above Google pixels, auto mode, so putting them side to side, pixels, Auto mode versus LG's night mode, I would say the LG is just a step better, but it's not too far off now.

Moving to the 4k walking test, I would give it to the pixel. It has a more locked on look, and it has less handheld shape, as you can also tell, the image on the LG is much wider than the pixel. I would also like to point out that in the LG I can tell there's a bit more green in the shadows. Even though the image on the LG v 40 is a bit wider. You can still record video with the ultra-wide lens, so when you're in tight spaces- or you just want to capture the whole thing, this wide lens is really useful to have the LG g4.

You can also shoot in 4k 60fps, which doesn't give you stabilization, but when you slow it down on your timeline, it doesn't look as bad as it is now and when you're shooting cinematic video, you can also slow it down to get that slow, cinematic movement and I would always recommend having a gimbals shooting with 60fps, because you can still see that trickiness, even when you slow it down, the colors on LG is more vibrant. So if you're shooting a lot of greenery and a lot of just colorful things, the overall video will pop under LG v 40 versus the pixel of 30, so low-light under main cameras. They both look really similar I can barely tell which one is better. They both jitter when your foot hits the ground and sometimes the LG, does it more sometimes the pixel does it more. So it's really hard to tell which one is better with the main camera.

Now, when you're recording with the ultra wide-angle and low light, it's there's a lot more artifacts a lot more noise showing up it's not as bright as the main camera. So if you're shooting in low light I would prefer sticking with the main camera so trying this out with the 4k 60 I would say the overall image is a bit sharper and of course it is darker as well put our last test. Trying it out with the ultra wide-angle lens. Definitely do not recommend it is really dark. It is really noisy and a lot of artifacts are showing, so I would definitely avoid this.

So that is my comparison. Overall I do think that hands down portrait mode on the pixel wins, but for creativity, there's a lot more options for the LG if you're doing a lot more other things. So if you are the type of person that just takes a picture and move on with their day, the pixel 3 is perfect. So let me know what you guys. Think, thanks for watching, and I'll see you guys later.
