SEOUL: We compare the rear camera of the two phones the LG G4 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 here. As both will go head to head till the end of the year for the crown “best Android smartphone in 2015”.
Both the G4 and the Galaxy S6 feature 16-MP sensor, with a small difference in the lens, as the G4 has a f/1.8 lens and optical image stabilization with 3-axis, while the S6 has f/1.9 lens and OIS with 2-axis.
Daylight, Picture Taken Against Sunlight
In daylight conditions, the LG G4 seems to be the better choice. While the phone tends to overexpose the blue color of the sky, the overall picture is of excellent quality. The phone manages to capture all the details, particularly the shadows. The Galaxy S6, on the other hand, delivers underexposed pictures. The result is little to no light and the picture looks dark, even though it is taken in broad daylight.
Macro Picture
The same thing happens with the macro pictures, as the LG G4 delivers picture with lots more light, while the images produced by the Samsung Galaxy S6 are darker. However, the S6 delivers a sharper and clearer photo. The details are all visible, not just on the macro object, but in the background as well. With the LG G4, you get a sharp macro object, but the background looks blurry and the details in the background are lost. The main object, however, is more realistic.
Cloudy Conditions
In cloudy conditions, which are something between daylight and lowlight, the S6 delivers more details in the picture thanks to the less zoomed picture. The auto mode of the G4 delivers a more zoomed picture, which results in loss of some details. The S6 takes a wider picture that you can crop afterwards. The advantage of the G4 is that the colors are more accurate.
Scene 4 night mode
In the night mode or when there is little to no light, the G4 suffers from its own features and accessories, mainly the color spectrum sensor. The G4 tends to overexpose the picture and compensate too much in order to get the colors right with the sensor. The Galaxy S6, on the other hand, doesn’t compensate as much, and the result is clear, sharp picture.
