- Here's Pixel 3 vs. LG V40 Camera Comparison including photos and videos! UPDATE: See my full review of Pixel 3 here:
• Pixel 3 Review - Why Y... Over the weekend, I took the Pixel 3 and the LG V40 out to an ice rink in San Francisco and took many photos and videos. This was actually pretty interesting comparison as I didn't expect the LG V40 to come anywhere near the Pixel 3, which probably is the king of smartphone photography. For videos, both seemed to do well with stabilization, I really didn't see either cameras doing better than another other than LG V40 having 2 extra back cameras, which gives you a lot more options. What's interesting to me was that while I took many photos of my daughter and myself during ice skating, most of the photos looked clearer with the Pixel 3. Now, while LG V40 photos weren't as clear as Pixel 3 in most photos, I actually prefer the look of the LG V40, especially the skin tones and the V40 tends to bring out more details of the shadows. This could be a personal preference but definitely the LG V40 kept up well to the Pixel 3. See full article here:

wow the pixel 3's audio is terrible.
pixel 3 did it on purpose. ask google
I noticed that too.
Similar like iphone 7 plus.still that issue persists with 2018 7 plus model as well.Apple never attempted to fix and people said it was hardware problem.not sure if pixel's hiss though
It's audio really is.. Big chin no ex storage or headphone jack heavy little battery...
If I am to bring a phone out to enjoy things, I'll very likely use Facebook Live at some point. The extra pic details of Pixel are not worth losing audio or the telephotos
Super proud of LG for their progress this year. Almost talked myself into getting the V40 but my V30 is just right for me.
I feel they didn't do enough when there are phones like the Mate 20 Pro, Xs and Pixel. For now I'm moving to the Mate 20 Pro from my V30. If LG gets their act together next year, I'll move back. But for now the V40 is largely underwhelming compared to what the rest put out. :-(
@@SDav21 how is it largely underwhelming? I mean did you just watch the video? It keeps up with one of the supposed best smartphone cameras although I agree that I would much rather have the Mate 20 Pro myself because of that camera system. It even has more video recording modes and capabilities than the Pixel 3 does so I'm not sure what else you're wanting from the V40.
@@sidersproductions941 I think the video wasn't spot on in my opinion. The pictures on the V40 were not good for a 2018 phone as my V30 seems to take similar images apart from the front camera. But we have Huawei out here giving 3d facial scanning, in display scanner, one of the biggest batteries, one of the fastest processors, amazing (not just good) cameras and a bunch more. LG should've done more. The V40 is not enough to upgrade from the V30. Huawei did much more in 1 year. The V40 is good but there are phones that are excellent. Makes me sad because I love LG but they desperately need to get their act together if they want to play with Huawei, Apple and Samsung.
@@SDav21 well I can't persuade you from what you saw. For me everything was good and that's only in auto mode which has never been LG's strong point. You have a whole, capable manual mode to take care of the rest and for me, it always does. But Huawei really is on a whole nother level. They've done things this year that neither Samsung, Apple, or Google has pulled off so kudos to them. I'll most likely get one next year because what they're doing is next level especially with the 40mp sensor, night mode, and 3x optical zoom and digital zoom.
@@sidersproductions941 Yes. I will miss my LG but I see Huawei has implemented some nice manual mode controls too. I will miss the headphone jack but at least Huawei gives the adapter and USB C earphones. Other than that I am sold.
11:23 V40 is not having trouble blurring out snacks on the left. The relative distance of the snacks on the left to the lens is roughly the same distance as your daughter to the lens. As objects appear further away, they tend to get more and more blurry. This is true shallow depth of field. What Pixel 3 is doing is quite literally extracting the subject and blurring everything around it. People shouldn't really confuse shallow depth of field for blur. The V40 is miles ahead of Pixel in terms of scientific accuracy of the blur effect.
true
it goes from tack sharp snacks to completely blurred in the next aisle, not to mention her hair getting blurred on the left side. Looks horrible actually and more fake than the pixel
Your sweet little smiling daughter made the comparison review to be very interesting... Good Luck and God bless you all...
Love these videos Max....been watching you since the Note 2 days.
I am back to this channel after 1 year! Great videos bro!🔥😎✅✅
Now that was a very fair review. Kudos for not forgetting about the V40 like everyone else did. Seems like LG pissed off all the influencers. I really like the Pixel's sharp detail. But I also like how LG works with shadows. Hahaha, the front camera will probably be perfect for me. I really wish the standard rear camera was a lot sharper. Can you get a sharper image from the V40's standard rear cam if you are in manual mode?
You can add sharpening yourself yes using manual mode. All camera sharpening is processed in auto but with manual mode you can leave it soft or sharpen as much as you want.
Really nice comparison, Max. Very helpful.
my boi max looking like a straight demon on the pixel @6:02 . love your vids man thanks for the comp.
Wow she's grown already, demn time flies too fast.
Anyway, v40 is so underrated. Makes me sad smh. LG just needs better quality control and marketing
and updates
Can you give me an idea of how good / fast autofocus is on the v40? One of my biggest complaints with all of LG's phones has been slow auto focus and blurry pictures. I take a lot of animal pictures in my job, the pixel 2 XL has been virtually flawless with shutter speed and focus. I would hate to switch over to a phone that takes forever to focus and creates blurry pictures. Any feedback you have on this would be greatly appreciated!
Can you put the google app that takes multiple photos for each photo on the V40?
No telephoto/zoom comparison? This is what I was expecting the most. Thanks for the video anyway!
Great video. It was your v30 video that made me sub to you and buy one :) I'm considering replacing it now though with the mate 20 Pro as it has everything my v30 had including the wide angle now. Would love to see a video comparison of the mate 20 Pro and v40. See if it's worth losing the headphone jack over.
Great review. I ordered the V40 online and am currently waiting for it to ship (backordered). I took some selfies of myself with the V40 today in the Verizon store and they looked similar to the ones you took. I'm not a fan of the way it smoothes out the skin. It looks too processed. The Pixel selfies look more realistic and clear. I hope a software update fixes this. Also, the ice in skating rink looks more accurate/white with the Pixel than the much warmer tone on the V40. But maybe you shot this near the "golden hour" in which case the V40 would be more accurate. The audio on the V40 was much better. I can't wait for my V40 to arrive!
Max, I love your reviews. I started in the V series because of your vids and one thing I have noticed is the LG V series cameras shine when used exclusively in manual mode. Yet, almost every review or comparison video uses auto modes to do the review. I purchase phones with the camera in mind as my primary feature and almost exclusively use them in manual mode. I would love to see you do the comparison videos using each phone in manual and base your review on those parameters. Thanks again for the videos.
Yes will do, great idea!
@@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE btw, I purchased the clip and ND filters thanks to the video you posted doing the long exposure photos using the v10 or v20 can't remember now. If you end up doing the manual comparisons you can count on me to share the crap out of it. Thanks for the reply.
45 seconds in and LG rules.
Nice comparison, thanks!
Please let me know which is the best camera phone in terms of low light, picture details and color tone.
best non biased tech reviewer after dave lee and unbox therapy. def gonna be supporting you more. but you need more videos! can you do an s9 plus and lg v40 or pixel 3 vs s9 plus?
but what about wide angle and zoom on v40?
Looking to upgrade from my V20 and I'm looking at the V40. Going to check one out tomorrow.
Great video Max. Personally I hate the face sharpening on any phone but nice though review. I'd like to see the pixel compared to the iphone XS Max. I think there would be some good comedy there coming form a huge android guy like you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing....can we see a V40 vs XS Max low light video comparison? I was very surprised at how well the XS Max did in low light video. V40 low light video was impressive too.
Great review man!! One more thing.. what´s your pixel 3 back cover from?
Can you show us how well the pixel 3 app installed on lg V40 ?
have you tried installing the google 3 camera apk on the V40?
Why you don't have more views and why you don't put ads on your vids?
He's crazy rich Asian
Fantastic comparison video. I'm a huge fan of the lgv30+ best phone I've ever owned. Great value now at $700 AUD.
Excellent comparison
As lg diehard, I am so proud on v40 performance,you all must remeber lg really shine as multimedia-vlog monster,its only phone in the world with 4K hdr video in 60fps.
When you say 4k HDR is there 10bit video?
Can you share some info on what app you're using for 4k hdr video?
What bitrate can you achieve with the V40 for 4k 60??
You tried gcam for pictures?
Thanks!
is there an apk for the V40 with the google pixel 3 apk?
Hey Max,
Have you heard any news on LG providing bootloader unlock to the V40 yet? I think that's the only thing holding me back from getting it!
V40 had a yellow hue. Look at the ice and the kitty faces on the sweater. Pixel 3 did have some dark spots where detail was lost. LG audio is not filtered out like the Pixel's. The Pixel wins at pics a vids but if they don't fix the audio, the V40 will be my new companion.
I currently own A v30 and was looking to upgrade to the v40 but it didn't blow me away, then I seen the pixel 3 and decided it was my next phone. However after this review and other's I'll have to pass, I gap between flagship photos is getting more narrow nowadays. So for me it come's down to audio & video quality, yes the pixel 3 is wonderful but the audio is atrocious and not worth my money. I'll stick with what I have maybe next yr, thank you for the wonderful comparison video Max.
I just installed the ported gcam pixel apps on my V40 :). Minus portrait mode and support for the zoom lens, they work great and it gives me another option for more difficult shots :)
Slap a Gcam Port on that v40 and no doubt, it'll be a BEAST! 🔥
Is HDR activated on LG V40?
I think you can turn off the zoomed in portrait for the Pixel 3? I've been using the Pixel 2 APK with my LG G5 for quite some time now and I know I can turn that off in the settings... Therefore, I think you can test the Pixel software on the V40 too... (I'm curious what that would bring) Anyways, great video! I preferred the audio from the V40, I'm curious how it sounds in concerts, that's where my Lumia's really shined, my G5 is a bit of a crying experience there... :)
LG V40 with the Note 9, LG going woop butt and GREAT VIDEO DUDEE!!!!!
I thought that I'd have to be a fanboy to be happy with the V40 but it just makes the skin tones look nicer almost every time.
Excellent comparison of the two cameras! 👍😎 I prefer definitely the more realistic look of the pixel 3 pics, but the audio of pixel3 is terrible.🤪
Now I'm more convinced that my next phone is going to be the V40. Thanks Max for your great work m
The second he switched the audio my mind was blown
Max hold you finger over the left camera and see if it blocked when you go through the 3 lenses
The microphone for the Pixel 3 actually does seem to be a lot better in windy conditions than the LG v40. (although I believe the LG phones have a Wind Cutting setting that you may not have enabled) I find that the v40 sounds better with less wind though. I think this just needs software/firmware adjustments on Google's side.
V40 just came in today, good god this phone is amazing.
V40👌👌
Manual mode camera tests + V30 vs V40 comparison should be your next videos ✌ 🐙 It's such a tough decision for me to choose between the V40 and V30/35
Wow great video man, I am very curiuous of how much the sensor size and being diffrent it's self between the v40 and g7, even in manual mode I wonder whats the difference, or whether or not they uses the same algo for image processing, huge fan of the lg keyboard hold down space to get a cursor like horizontal line, cheers hoouman
F1.5 1/2.55" 12mp 1.4micron vs f1.6 1/3.1" 1micron pixelsize
A huge improvement
Sound LG V40. Video Pixel 3.
LG has a 3 omnidirectional mic setup, meant for content creation. The audio will sound way better.
Wrong shoot in pro mode and watch the pixel struggle
Max, could you please make a review of its oled screen quality?
Was hdr on with selfies?
Pixel fans are slightly jealous. All they have is "I get faster updates than you"... well, that doesn't make up for a lack of a headphone jack, micro SD slot, 5 cameras, 3 mics... "The Pixel takes way better photos..." Well, install the GCam on the V40 and the Pixel will get destroyed by it's own software.
Please, can you give me the link to download GCam for LG V40thinq?
It's true... I chose V40 over all others pixel was ugly asf has a huge chin too... Meh.. V40 is beautiful
Is not the same
LG looking good just few more tweaks
yes it is but man why is it so yellow!
@@wii166 They still sending out software updates which is GREAT
Woah. This is unbelievable! I've always thought the Pixel 3 would be better because of their software processing, but looking at the photos, I'm left speechless. V40's photos looks really good vs the Pixel 3 - and this is coming from someone who is currently using a Pixel 2XL
Are these 2 nearly identical?
That's what I'm saying they playing with LG though
Identical sensor Sony imx363
I understood the reference
Hi Max, i'm just curious...does your V40 have the latest update on the Camera ? I heard from other reviews that the V40 will get a new Camera update :)
Yes this is with all the latest camera updates till today. But LG is actually pushing another update soon which I am waiting on.
@@drekorea thanks for the information I'm so happy lg is bringing more updates to the cameras for once the care and I hope this next update fixes the problem u had in this video like always thank for this video nobody want to even do this kind of videos with the v40
Seems like the V40 video on the rear cams looked yellowed/warmer compared to Pixel 3. What do you attribute that to? Can that be tweaked? I just got the V30 Friday and I'm still figuring it out. The cameras are much different than those on my V30. You think?
You can change color temperature in videos and photos via manual mode on the V40. You can get the exact photo or video you want
@@mobilizedorb438 Yasssssss! I learned how to tweak those settings in manual mode!! ❤ the V40!!
That's awesome! The V40 all around is an amazing phone! The asthetic (I got the moracan blue) the capabilities with photos and video, sound quality of the external speaker and headphone jack etc. Glad I upgraded from my V30 to this, I'm sure you are too!
Hi Max Lee, could you please port Google pixel 3 camera to LG V40 and check the results? Would be really grateful and appreciate if you could. Again, great comparison. 🙏
opinion about navcoin
I have no preference to either android or apple but what phone can you have for 24 months and it not going to shit. I currently use note 8 and still going strong. I know Apple will update their phones for years so I'm on the fence. Note 9, lgv40 or iPhone xs max?
10x. can u make it with Huawei Mate 20 Pro and LG V40 pls?
No cine log (aka flat footage) on the mate 20 pro?
both pretty good on stabilization, pixel looks a little better on most picture looks, audio was insanely good on the LG V40.
How snappy/responsive is the V40 camera? My V20 is soooo laggy (is an old phone now tho). Have they managed to put burst shooting into damn manual mode yet?
Actually faster than Pixel 3. Very fast. I had to actually turn off HDR Enhanced on Pixel 3 as it was too laggy for daylight shots.
Starting with g7, LG used pre-shot technology to get faster capture speed and liveview of HDR & portrait mode
That grilled squid looked awesome.
im stuck between these two phones. i dont do alot of selfies. But i do go to a lot of music festivals at night so it will be at night time. which do you think would be the best for photos and videos.
Well music festivals usually involve lots of lighting and loud music. V40 is great for that since you can use manual mode for video and audio. But raw low light performance of Pixel is much better. Audio recording at concerts is amazing with V40 or any of LGs as they can cut the sound down.
Thank you for the reply. And thats good to know the different between audio and photo low light. Im leaning towards the LGv40 i guess like you said its whoever using it and their preference
The question is how does the V40 manage in RAW. Also, indoor auto white balance of the V40 is too warm. V40 looks like it is always in HDR mode. I use the V20 in manual mode and sometimes in RAW.
Raw will tell us if the pixel 3 sharpness is due to a better lens or V40 has too strong smoothing in auto mode.
Let's test the camera app from Pixel to LG V40!
Wow thanks for the video, I have my doubts with the LG V40, but this video give me a reason to buy it. The sounds of the video clips the V40 destroys the Pixel, and in some photos the V40 are better, thanks Max for the review...
If only someone made a full on video, still shot and good stereo recording device with no compromise in this area!
Last time I ice skated ended up like if the Undertaker gave me an ass whoop 🤣🤣🤣
Lg v40 vs iPhone xs max camera PlZ
Please do a comparison between the V40 with a Gcam port and the Pixel 3!
Yeah I think v40 is better slightly
The Pixel crushes a lot of shadow detail
I 100% agree with the comments regarding LG picture processing. I have been thinking that Samsung and LG wash out faces and make them brighter compared to apple which gave people more of a tan and warm hue. This if you think about it, matches beauty ideals in those different parts of the world. White people want tans and Asian people want to be whiter
I noticed the same thing, interesting.
Great vid.lgv40 fan all day. Love that tshirt .where u get it?p.s. the front wide cams look about the same. The v40 back Camara did better than pixel3 in some of those back Camara shots
I think once a gcam port is made for v40 it will bring out the best camera mix of pixel and LG
I have the v40 I think your videos are very insightful I think you tell a lot of Truth I just think the camera and certain situations on the pixel 3 is better and then in certain situations that the camera all of E40 is better it's a toss-up personal preference
Great comparison video, Max.
A few random thoughts from a novice -
- The audio issue with the Pixel 3 seems to be that it is trying too hard to do away with wind noise when it's outside and the result is audio that is too muted. The audio on the Pixel 3 inside the skating rink was just fine. The V40's audio was OK - is there a setting to reduce wind noise? If not, LG would do well to include one with a software update. As for video, both phones did just fine.
- Have to disagree about the selfies with the front-facing cameras. LG is overdoing it with the smoothing and the person has a sort of waxy look in the face. Something that LG could fix with an update Given LG's track record, I wouldn't hold my breath on that, however. Why they released the V40 with Android Oreo is beyond me.
- I was surprised at how much better the V40 picture was at the 6:19 mark. That f1.5 aperture lens looks like it's doing its job by letting more light in. Why Google didn't upgrade the camera hardware on their phone is beyond me.
- Grilled squid?
- The V40, despite having better hardware, still struggles with low light. The V40 looks to be an improvement over the V30 and the G7 but they still have work to do.
- Overall, the gap between the Pixel 3 and the V40 is very narrow. If Google wants to keep crowing about how their camera is the best you can buy then they are going to have to step up their game next year and at least put a better sensor on there.
Yes there's wind filter setting on LG manual video mode
Thanks. It would be great if you could set it while filming in auto mode but that's better than nothing.
Please do a battery comparison test.
The only way to truely see how good each camera phone is in quality would be to have photos taken with a professional dslr to give a true representation of what the picture actually is like and THEN compare the same photos taken with both camera phone's in AUTO mode to compare detail, colour accuracy, blow outs, sky highlights against the dslr's photo etc.. You said you prefer the V40 portraits to the pixel 3 but others like myself prefer more natural tones... It's a catch 22 situation that just comes down to the actual user's likes... Great video, would like someone to take on board my above comment..
LG v40 has the best video recording and audio for any smartphone
LG g8 ?
I just thought of something: the V40 has an option to remove the background in portrait mode, so that you can separate the subject & do a cool trick I'll explain below.
What you can do easier with the V40 than the Pixel (& probably most of other phones), is composition, with the isolated subject you took apart, & the background that you can shoot seperatly (just without the subject), by playing with manual focus (focusing closer will blur everything obtically vs numerically, & that way you can control how much blur you want).
It obviously requires more work & using a dedicated soft like Lightroom/Photoshop then, but I just point out that with that "Multimedia tool", you have the ability to go that far to obtain an outstanding result!
Yes use a studio lighting and backdrop. Ohhhh let make a video!!!
Yeah that sure works too! But in everyday life outside, this technique is appliable, when you don't have studio lighting :)
V40 photos of the face looks similar to beauty mode on samsung galaxys like a paintbrush when u zoom in.
That squid looks amazing I would tear that up. 🍽️🦑
I have to say the Pixel 3 makes much "better" pictures. There is obviously more AI trickery going on which you should do in post process I think. It should be optional. But there is more information and more realism in the pixel 3 pictures.
I'd love to know if the same quality can be achieved using gcam ports for the LG V40.
Thanks for the video!
I love my v40 I waited a few months or 2 and picked it for 700. Software adjustments will make the v40 cameras even better.
damn.
I wanted my 2nd mobile to be the V40 (I’ve got an iOS phone already) but after looking at the camera shots & video you’ve shown, even with that big forehead of the Pixel 3, I’m a fan of the Pixel.
now it’s between the Pixel & the V40
LG owes you money! Everyone else has forgotten about this phone already! Good job mate.
Was the squid chewy?
Google released a response to why the sound quality is so tinny. The Google spokesman said that they made the mic avoid background noise and picks up the important sounds. I guess that's why it sounds so tinny. The LG mic sounds fuller but damn that background noise sorta sounds muffled. Has anyone noticed that?
pixel 3 did it on purpose. ask google. its noticable ninety.
yeah that's what im saying. Google said they did this on purpose. I would google to create the option of muting background noise and an option on the pixel 3 to turn that feature off.
The portrait shots from the Pixel 3 are pretty incredible, especially since there's only one rear camera. #SoftwareWins
I do think Google did get what they were going for as far as microphone shutting out background noise but at a cost of tinny voice
Camera updates for V40 made it pixel like in photo quality...
I mean that color reproduction on the pixel is better. I'd say once they fix the audio we'll be good. Put the selfie on the v40 is amazing
lg best audio/speaker
tnx!
Pixel over sharpens with more contrast. Thanks for the test.
