Google Pixel vs LG G6, which camera is the best?

With this dual camera, according to many experts, the LG phone takes advantage over its competitors. Will it be good enough to beat the Google Pixel ? This model has one of the best cameras according to connoisseurs. For the avoidance of doubt, today we present this test in which both cameras are compared.

Used in a normal way, the aim is to compare various aspects that determine which camera is the best. The color, clarity and range of both cameras will be compared. Thus, it will be possible to determine which of the two will win.

Color

If we look at the color of both phones we can draw some conclusions. The color of the LG G6 is much more vivid and intense. Although in some photos it can be problematic. In the first photo, on the brick wall, it tends to be more orange than that of the Google Pixel.

Google Pixel is somewhat flatter in colors, they do not have the intensity of the LG, but they are much more accurate. They are closer to the colors as they really are. Therefore, in the field of color, Google Pixel is the winner.

Clarity

The clarity of the image refers to it being sharp, having a good resolution and we can observe the details with precision. We also don't want the image to be overly processed or add too much noise. Let's see the images from both cameras for clarity.

When we look at the different images taken with both cameras, the photos taken by the Pixel are much sharper in the first two cases (brick wall and bottle). Seeing both we can observe the details with precision. The one of the bricks the texture is much better appreciated, and in the one of the bottle we see that the LG G6 has added some strange effects around the text.

In the third photo things change. It is a photo taken in a darker place. Here the Pixel leaves a lot to be desired. The photo is not sharp, it is clearly blurred and it does not help us to distinguish objects. The LG photo is much better, and although it is not perfect, we can clearly distinguish objects.

Therefore, in the clarity aspect we have a tie. The Google Pixel works perfectly in bright light, but in poorly lit areas it fails enormously.

Rank

It is the turn of the last aspect to measure. We focus on the range of the camera. We are going to measure the difference between the darkest and the lightest areas that the camera captures in a single photo. Also the way the camera displays the image, and its tonal mapping.

The first image shows us a somewhat dark interior taken from the outside, where there is enough light. The Google Pixel creates a somewhat flat image. There is no great contrast between the (darker) interior and the exterior, making the photo not really represent reality. While if we see the photo of the LG, we can see that there is a clear difference. He has managed to clearly maintain the difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the image.

In the cans photo, the Pixel photo improves on the first one, and shows more clearly the dark and light areas. But there is a problem again. In dark areas, the quality is not what it should be, it loses sharpness and makes the photo somewhat unbalanced. The photo of the LG G6, on the other hand, shows the colors in a vibrant way and manages to keep the difference between dark and light areas perfectly. Also showing both clearly.
