A good-quality camera has been one of the strongest selling points of any smartphone in the recent years. Originally, people carry a separate point-and-shoot camera for their occasions and travels. However, the tech landscape has changed and it allowed gadget users to carry their mobile phones and cameras into one device.
This has brought in the market demand for powerful smartphones with cameras of great megapixel capacities. And for any flagship smartphone of a known brand, it is important to look into the specifications of camera quality, among many other features. For this post, we will be comparing two smartphone cameras: the iPhone 8 versus the LG G6.
iPhone 8 vs. LG G6 Camera, Features, and Price Comparison
Before getting into the details of camera quality, here are some general features of both devices, the iPhone 8 and the LG G6, respectively. These factors may also help you weigh the pros and cons of purchasing an overall smartphone for you.
Price Comparison
Apple iPhone 8
The Apple iPhone 8 is generally priced at $699 for the 64GB model. The 256GB upgrade costs a lot more, priced at $849. The phone comes in 3 colours (black, gold and silver), which were reduced from the original 6 available colours of the iPhone 7.
LG G6
LG G6, on the other hand, is available for $499 without the sim card for most retailers. This price comes with the 32GB model in black or platinum colours. When bought directly from LG, you can expect to pay $699 for an unlocked version.
General Features Comparison
Apple iPhone 8
The Apple iPhone 8 is made mostly of glass, quite set apart from its old iPhone counterparts. Along with it are the wireless charging feature and fingerprint sensors. Its body also allows maximum resistance to water and dust particles. Retina display includes the HD quality for both 4.7 and 5.5 inches, with their True Tone Technology, which allows the camera to match the exact colour of what is being taken.
LG G6
The LG G6 main attraction is its big display. The G6 features a body to screen ratio of 80% which means it maximizes the size of the phone to its screen size. The handy phone is made of aluminium and glass and features a QuadHD resolution for its screen. The LG G6 phone body is also designed to endure strong drops and accident-prone environments.
Camera Features Comparison
After reviewing the pricing and general features, here are the specific details for each smartphone camera:
Apple iPhone 8
Apple iPhone's main camera has 12 megapixels of resolution. The lens is f/1.8 with an image stabilization feature, allowing you to take steady photographs in occasional movements. It also had an upgrade on its front camera angle, which is good news for selfie takers. The iPhone 8's front camera is 7 megapixels with a lens of f/2.2. Aside from this, other camera built-in features from the iPhone 7 are still intact such as the HD, flash for both cameras, panorama, slow-mo., time lapse and all other options. One notable new feature is its True Tone Technology, which allows you to capture a photo exactly to match the colours from the actual scene.
LG G6
LG G6 took a step up from the seemingly peculiar LG G5. It set apart itself for having several interesting camera features such as the wide angle front camera. The wide angle front camera, however, has a lower resolution, which is 5 megapixels against the iPhone 8's 7 megapixels. Instead of a timer, you can also take selfies through a gesture shot. You can set up a gesture to indicate the camera to take a picture, which is a good feature for those who seem to have difficulties pressing a button or operating a timer. LG G6 also has a dual main camera which is more powerful than the iPhone 8, comprising of 13 megapixels. They also made a built-in feature called square mode, which allows you to take creative photos by forming a photo grid and combining square photos to make interesting compositions.
Final Verdict
After much comparison in terms of pricing, general features, and camera quality, the LG G6 seems to have flexible camera features for people who love to take photos. The wide angle front camera, higher resolution, and functional built-in accessories all gained points to make LG G6 the winner in this category.
