I prefer LG V50 ThinQ. I usually like the rear cameras audio, video and stills performance on LG 'V series'.
Unfortunately, 'LG Mobile' marketing strategies have been really bad across European countries, at least...
Not just Europe. Their marketing is non-existent in the US as well.
Same in Mexico, they are sending the "Lite" versions like the Lg g8 SE, but, this V50 is better over the Pixel just because it has a lot of better features like sound
K but the LG v50 has crappy ass photos for a flag shape
@@thomastank8458 same as ur english
@@thomastank8458 you can't compare the photos in this video because of the different angles they were shot. That changes all, exposure, dinamic range, contarst. The result ould have been different taken by the same camera, iven. Probably, the pixel is bether better over all for point and shoot stils, but for the all axperience of the camera, video(with all the modes) , stils(with all the modes) and manuals. Oh, it shoots raw format too... LG take's it all day long.
Thank you for the detailed and good test greeting Mark (M1Molter)
I bought an LG V50 ThinQ for videography and photography. (I have actual cameras for long range photography too, so I have a good range of tools.) I'm amazed at the quality of videos that the V50 can take. I shot and edited some test footage to show my nephew, and he was so impressed, he wants me to shoot some promo video for him and his peers. (He's a local rap artist and skater.) The slow motion settings have really been something to behold. And using cinematic framerates make my videos pop even more. So yeah, my V50 was a good investment. 👍🏽
The zoom quality was great in 4k30 video on the V50!
Indeed, nice observation
The Pixel may have produced better photo, but the LG has a vast of manual control settings that the Pixel could only dream about and that's before we even talk about manual audio control.
So if you only shoot in Auto JPEG, the Pixel may be a worthy choice. But if you really want to take full control of the camera settings in both photos and videos, the LG is definitely the one to go.
Well said
full controll on a 4mm sensor. For what? On my DSLR yes i want full controll, but with a mobile i want to take a photo of moments, immediately with the best result. Not setup a mobile.
@@twistedmusicvideos2845 Oh why not, that is why mobile photography and videography exist. I myself used to be a true Mirrorless camera user in the shape of the Sony NEX-3N before I got myself a Microsoft Lumia 950. Since then, the Sony was collecting dust in the drawer until I sold it. Now, all of my photography and videography is done on my current Lumia.
@@FAT8893 its your needs. thats all.
True thats what I said LG WINS. I got one💪💪
When it comes to resolved detail, both of them are actually equal BUT the LG v50 blows out the highlights thus covering details in too much light, it cant adjust exposures as well as the Pixel. This is where Google's superior algorithm software comes in and is part of every Pixel's outstanding camera skills. However when it comes to hardware these two phones are equal, its just that Google has the software optimization advantage. AS proof many of the macro shoots show the V50 resolving details just as well or even better than the pixel, but just falling short of Exposures in other shots. Thanks for the video Grant!
I'm looking forward to the LG G9/V60 that quad dac headphone Jack is amazing. Bluetooth headphones just don't cut it.
Definitely tough to beat LG for audio.
LG have dropped the g series 😁
I always love ur comparison video, very detail and straight to the point, not like other reviewer, too much talk but only few pictures.
Lol, thanks I'm happy you like them.
I still pick the LG V50
But the LG had no dynamic range
@@thomastank8458 yeah but the pixel as a whole is trash
It has hdr if u turn off auto mode
@@wytewizzard sorry to let you down bro but i don't have the V50 (if not t mobile or at&t, i wont get it). Am waiting on the V60 but if i had it, i would've definitely help you 🙂
Pixel 4 XL is better
Great to see you making videos again man.
Thanks Bryan! Really appreciate the support.
Both pics and video were close but the V50 wins because it has much more manual settings to make the pics and video look even better
Great comparison. In 4k video Lg was way off in my opinion. Macro shots were bit brighter on the LG on the Google seemed more natural/accurate. Especially on green leafs the LG like had a bit yellowish to it. Very close outside of the 4k video. The focus goes to Pixel for sure. Really close and hard but Pixel would I choose if I should pick one of them.
Yup, not sure what's up with the LG 4k colors. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
That's been the consistent thing in all comparisons. Anything 4k video for the LG is off.
Really great video comparison- thanks so much and keep up the great work
Thanks for checking it out. Really appreciate it!
Apart from macro shots, I prefer Pixel 4 photos over V50. LG V50 is a much better phone overall - a nearly complete solution compared to lackluster Pixel. Moreover I believe that I can find LG V50 cheaper than Pixel 4 XL right now.
Seen em on ebay for under 400
Great review, Grant. Keep it up!
Thanks, much appreciated.
Very detailed review. Could you do review on the LG V60 Thinq?
Planning on making one with the v60
Colors look natural on the V50.
I am using LG V35 and notice that whenever i captured an image where facing source of light,the photo tends to be distorted and has bad exposure.Unlike Pixel.
I have the V35 from Amazon prime and I dont get that with pix. I love my V35 alot! Its my first LG phone ever and it a fantastic device!
@@jrod8574 Yes it is,i absolutely agree with that..my device is still using oreo how about yours?
@@AstrolabMalaysia I have android 9 PIE. Strange that you have Oreo still🤔
Amazon still sells the LG V35 brand new UNLOCKED for $399. when they are in their limited time deal for $399. When they aren't in that deal time they are $899.
Look for the version that says "Amazon alexa hands free" .
Last time i checked it was $399. Take a look.
@@jrod8574 i buy from AT&T unlocked version.I keep checking my software update but it doesn't come out.Camera wise,Superb! I install gcam and the quality is just amazing.Impressive.You should try it.
@@AstrolabMalaysia I have T-Mobile so I wanted an unlocked phone that had no boot up logos of any carrier of any kind. And it doesn't. It just has the LG logo when I boot it up and turn it on. No bloatware whatsoever except for the pre-installed Amazon apps but I disabled all of them and got rid of them. Yeah I need to try out the G cam app for this phone. I have it on my S9 Plus.
LG V50😍👍👍
when it comes to camera, Pixel phones are the best🖤❤️
Another really good review. We love your videos.👍❤
Great video!!! Thanks bring for us.
You're welcome!
Very thorough. Thank you!
Thanks for checking it out and glad you found it useful.
Nice comparison. This is the first year I have not picked up an LG phone since the beginning of the g series. The v50 looks really good though
Thanks Tom. When you coming back to make videos again?
@@GrantLikesTech this month at some point. Had a lot of family stuff happen so needed to do that and now starting to get back in the zone.
Excellent comparison. I went with the lg v over pixel. I just wish they could get their updates better.
Thanks, much appreciated! What do you like about the v50 over the Pixel?
@@GrantLikesTech I got the v50 for $200 less. For that kind of money no brainier .
@@bryane2857 where do you get it bro
@@gondalgandul6848 this was last year at a verizon store. Wasn't on display I just asked if they had one and they did. Discounted to boot
Love my pixel, best camera phone in the world
On LG you look nice. Red like bacon. Im so hungry
Lol, at least I'm tasty.
Surprised that they are comparable. For pictures esp low light, pixel 4 is the king. Videography is v50
i am a fan of your videos bro. good job
Thanks, much appreciated!
Pixel took the cake but I liked LG videos
Lg v50 takes the cake..the v series camera settings would be a better choice
I have always like Lg but I will say Lg needs to control and learn how to manage their exposure. It is just too over expose most time. Really whoever is dealing with lg software needs to look into this and need to realize they are still lagging behind the camera department. It is still good but there are phones that are better. The color on the video for the lg is horrendous. It is not just over saturated but it is very cartoonist with the color
There is always the manual mode for that. LG auto mode is not that good. Just tweak it a little bit in the manual mode, it should be superb.
Nice video, but missing night photography comparison.
What I hope to see in V60:
108MP but S11 style, not Mi Note 10.
16MP for clear, bright low light true to life wide angle camera.
12MP Periscope (telephoto).
Retain Hi-Res Quad DAC headphone jack.
Battery 6k mAh.
Dual-band AGPS / Glonass / BeiDou / Galileo / QZSS.
Dual selfie camera true to life color and best for low light performance.
Hi-Res stereo speakers.
Easy Swappable internal parts.
i want to buy a phone and I'm torn between these two, which is the better buy ??
how do they compare in terms of performance... and i heard the pixel 4 xl tends to overheat upon heavy usage
Lg v50 have superb camera manual function. If you are a pro. You can literally make a movie out of the lg v50.
They have the same main sensor and cpu the difference is the processing of camera software. 😮
LG V50 is very powerfull phone, i seen it for as low as 370eur currently. Had LG G4 in the past, apart from bootloop issue and really bad software support, Camera was amazing, But LG needs to do something with taking picture in auto mode, i just don't like their colors and processing, anyway this phone is meant to take pictures and videos manually :) Thanks for you comparison. Could you do V50 with Gcam comparison ?
That's a good deal on the v50. Not sure about re-doing it with Gcam, but thanks for the request. I'll see what I can do.
El tema es que aunque uno vea la foto el es quién ve la realidad, porque por ejemplo si por vista está más clara el LG está siendo la foto mejor porque el pixel le está dando tonos más puros pero como saber si es por imagen artificial y si es por la calidad de la camara
LG The 50 video begins you will see that colors on there v50 is red versus the Google pixel 4
Well i Prefer Blue sky colour on LG v50 than pixel. Nowdays you can get v50 cheap below 300 $. So I take LG v50
Definitely great deals on the v50 now and even the v40.
Sorry but V50 can't beat Pixel 4 in camera tests.
Does the GCam APK work with the LGV50?
@Hamah 75 against with this pixel 4 xl?
Sure pixel 4 xl makes much more saturated and "juicy" photos, but it costs almost like two v50's, that's why I still hesitate what to choose, I mean do those advantages worth it or not
So what have you chosen?
Big question 🛡️: I'm looking to order 2nd hand phone as main camera + spare time gaming, choice between:
Google Pixel 4
Huawei p30
Honor 20 pro
Iphone SE 2020
Samsung galaxy s10+
Xiaomi Mi 10 Note
LG V50 5G
All cost where I'm now around 400-450$ as second hand. And no, no one import pixel 4 A here yet.
How V50 compared to others on the list? What if using Gcam on v50 does it get close to iphone and pixel 4?
Kindly help me,
Thank you 🙏
Haven't tried Gcam on the V50, but it's a good choice if you're willing to use manual mode to improve what you don't like about what you saw in auto. Otherwise P30 Pro is good choice too. Anything with a high end processor would help you with both camera and game performance. It comes down to what you like to see in your camera image processing.
Man did you turned on the high res audio on The LG? you should go to camera settings and turn it on manually
Both has same image sensor?
Pixel wins the camera department no doubt but you get a more complete package with the LG v50.
Agreed, the manual controls in the v50 are great if you know what you're doing.
Hi! I wanna ask, what version is this LG V50? Like Korean or? And is it on Android 12?
Thanks
For Me LG V50 is the best flagship phone 👍👍👍
cool
Focusing problem on lg v50 still exist?
Why dont u revie low light too?
Lg v60
Snapdragon 865
Wide, Ultrawide, Telephoto
12mp selfie cam
Headphone jack
Expandable storage
Bluetooth 5.1
NFC
Wireless charge
Cooling system
My area antenna bands
4,500mah
Vooc charge
2 firing speakers
It would be a beast
No vooc charge for lg
if only pixel 4 battery is good as lgv50 than it would win overall
Doesn't matter in a camera comparison 😉
Also, I get all day battery with my Pixel 4 and 4XL, so it always comes down to personal usage.
@@GrantLikesTech you right!! That's why i would choose pixel 4 if the battery is big, coz I'm a heavy gamer on phone
Hey is there a special feature for connecting Bluetooth earbuds to the v50 like the quad dac for wired earbuds?
There is a built-in equalizer and DTS sound still available to customize with Bluetooth audio.
@@GrantLikesTech okay. I appreciate that.
I think it's funny of How many Phone Camera Reviews by people who don't have degrees in photography. A Basic Statement... A Camera of Any Quality is Only as Good as the Person who Know or Don't Know how to use it. Even side by side comparisons are flawed due to light angles and filtering. A Real Photographer can shoot on a disposable better than the average user on a DSLR... Want Better Pics.. Take Classes..
I think it's funny how this video clearly isn't for you and you seem to take the time to leave a comment. Showing the camera capabilities of smartphones by an everyday person (not pro photographer) helps the majority of those looking to make a phone purchase as I'm sure most of them are not photographers by trade. Not everyone is out there trying to be a photographer, and want to get the most out a quick point and shoot. 🙄
Where is lowlight comparison?
The comparison of photos at night is necessary.
For camera 4XL is the best from this two 🔥
Pixel 4 xl: i take better photos than you
V50: here's a ultra wide angle photo
Pixel 4 xl: ight I'm out
Lg v50 thinq or s10 5g?.. someone help
Has the autofocus been fixed now on V50?
Didn't know it had a problem. Works well for me.
i like the V50
Install gcam in LG v50/G8 and be done
Lets be real I feel the only thing the pixel has over the lg is what they selling you the "easy of use". What I mean by this is that you take a picture and it looks "nice" because its been render for you to look "nice" double edge sword & fails to come through when taking video as you can see with the washout colors and loose of detail and definition, thanks to the "nice smooth effect" it just blunders everything.
11:25 take a look at the color black it looks washout & just look at his face and neck its looks like when you turn up way too much the "beautification" feature on a samsung. 6:10 again behind the tower you can clearly see mountains on the lg, on the pixel not so much again the "nice smooth effect" it just blunders everything.
That is the differences lg looks "not nice" because it is untouched Raw with every detail and nothing "smooth out" you have way more room for editing any photo or video to your liking because they haven't been "pre-beautify" , definitely for a more intermediate to advance user
its a case of "it's not the tool, it's the user" the lg was meant to be more Raw professional like a Dslr camera. not "nice" like a point and shoot camera
Here is the real winner
You can get a V50 for $200. I did anyways!
How much for the Pixel?
Now which one will you buy?
Where?
@@briansmall3867 Ebay
I never trust Ebay.
@@paulcotton5096 you have to trust the seller on eBay just look at ratings. Plus eBay offers 100% money back guarantee. Use it if you have any problem.
Lg
Pixel: I take slightly better photos.
V50: ultra wide lens. Headphone Jack. 🤛🎤
Yup, it always comes down to what features each person values in a phone.
My lg v50 selfie camera looks bad
LG Video has his face looking sunburned, as for the audio on the LG it was awful. The detail on the pixel is more colour accurate with better details where the LG seems to have a slightly higher contrast that just doesn't do well. Biggest issue that I found over the years as an LG 3,4 and 5 user is how slow LG is with updates... Their diabolical.. LG V50 not a bad effort but defo NOT in the top 10 best camera phones for 2019.. Pity.. They always fall just short of the bar just like Sony.. Good review thank you for sharing 👍🍀😁
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. LG auto image processing has improved, but I agree it still needs work. Most people who like manual mode will love the cameras.
V50 auto mode sucks, it shines when you start pressing buttons
Please the first song of the video
Thank you

LG wins big time here
Кто-нибудь ставил на LG v50 Гугл камеру?
Is HDR activated on LG V40?
Auto HDR
you look allergic in V50
I feel like v30 gcam is better than v50 gcam the quality gcam v30 so clearly than v50 gcam:)
Gl all the win to me cause it have way more modes cause side to side its a 50 50 but the wide can not on the google is a killer plus its a uglier phone to me lol
Very close battel
Indeed
lg bad potrait i still pick the v50

Same here my frist phone back in 2007 was lg u880 tb say sirf lag use kar raha houn g2 g3 g4 g6 v30 v35 or ab v40

Wacthing with my LG V50 haha , I really prefer LG Vs phones than another
Hey would you say the v50's camera is substantially better than the v40's?
@@SaiyaraLBS Is better but if you only want it for the camera then is not like a super upgrade from v40 to 50

is the focus issue fixed yet on LG?
Focus isn't bad on the V50. If anything it's worse on the V60.
*V50 win :D*
@@user3wx9V-178 it's literally preference.
Bad fanboy. Seriously i'm a fan of LG. Since G6, V30, V40 but i often took with RAW files and edit it. If not it is very bad. Pixel win any day eye closed 😅
Pixel camera > SmartPhone
Slap on gcam and same result
In my experience gcam can improve the photo quality, but not always and generally not to Pixel level.
@Hamah 75 close enough
Ужасный автофокус у LG....просто дерьмо
Some of the picture are slightly angled then Google pix some are dead on straight well the LG v50 or slightly angled like the leaf comparison at 2:00 pixel slightly overhead, lg v50 right " slightly lower to the side. And at 2:10 ones closer and the other slightly away... And so on... There's never an honest review on youtube. Maybe once in a blue moon..🤣🤣🤣😳
Lol, oh man. You caught me. I try to get the best image each phone can take, but I am only human afterall.😉
Pixel best
I would really wish people wouldn't use auto when doing comparison videos especially when both phones have manual controls pretty sure it's hard to guage what phones could do because auto doesn't always give you the best settings.
Pixel only has auto, so I wanted to do a like for like. Manual mode has its use cases, but most everyday scenarios are best with point and shoot. All comes down to what we each want and value from our phone cameras.
Thumbs down for no 100% crops showing actual details
Thanks for watching anyway. You can checkout other comparisons where I did that and people complained it was too long. Can't please everyone and I guess most people are enjoying their photos at face value vs. zooming in to inspect each pixel. Go figure. 👋
lg is blured and no sharpness... like always in lg. pixel is better
Not sure I totally agree with that, but perhaps you like how the Pixel more aggressively applies HDR.
lol My pixel 3 better than LG v50
It just comes down to what you like to see and what your camera needs are.
