lg v60 camera review lg v60 thinq lg v60 camera test
Excellent! Exactly what I was waiting for. Kinda expected that the V40 would still be kicking butt, but still amazed to confirm. Thank you, man!
You're welcome
wow this is a very elaborate and technical comparison of the camera quality, very informative and very helpful in making the decision of which one is best
Thanks, which did you choose?
Another really good review. We love your videos.👍❤
I know you've spent a lot of time on this review, it's great to see the full video and such a detailed comparison, thank you for your hard work
Thanks, that means a lot
Wow. First of all the difference in how they render the color of your shirt in the beginning is stark. Then when the audio switched to the V60 I almost clicked out of the video it was so bad! Great video and comparison. Thanks!
And do you hear audio record from 12 pro max before you said that?
Lol, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
The effort tho ❤ the best review I ever seen
Great review, Thanks so much
thank you a million for bringing comparative video.
Thanks, glad you enjoy them.
One of the best videos on this channel.
Thanks
Stunning job. Heard they improved cameras on the v60 under android 13
Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Great comparison as always Grant. It's amazing what software can do, re the V40 and V50. Basically the same hardware there. The V60 surprised me, and not in a good way. I am glad I have the pinnacle in LG cameras, with the V50. Love your channel.😊
Thanks Justin! Always good to hear from you and appreciate the support. 👍
Hey man Really appreciate your video..im planning to buy v60 but because of your videos...i changed my mind...maybe ill go for v50s 256gb and 8gb of rams
The v60s cameras are much improved over the v 50...the sensor is bigger and manual mode is the way to go
Thanks for video) Please Compare front cameras on LG G8 (f1.7), V50, v60 in low light
Magnificent camera comparison 😍
Thanks!
Heck yeah!!! Thank you, Grant.
Any time!
I will go with the V50. I noticed saturation with the V60 in the daytime photos. The V40 and V50 take more naturalistic pictures and I like that their audio has less noise, but I choose the V50 because it's the later model.
I like the V50 too.
Thank you for this video🙏😍😊
Welcome!
best comparison videos on the net!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Appreciate the love.
Thanks Dookie! J. Williams and I told him the same thing the other day. Grant is a beast!
Thanks for video of comparation
Great comparison. Thank you very much ! Can you also do a comparison between the LG V30 and V50/V60 ? I'm curious how the video recording technology evolved, because my V30 records amazing in 4K with HDR turned ON and with a gimbal. The footage is really amazing for a phone. Either way thank you for still posting videos with LG phones.
Thanks, no promises since it all depends on what I can do with the time I have for these videos. People seem interested in LG, so it could happen.
I got the V30 and don't feel the need to upgrade. V30 is handsdown one of the best even in 2022!! I expect to keep my V30 for years to come!
The v40 can still keep up. In this vid tho Imma say the v50 was the best overall. It had a good balance. Another great vid Grant🙏🏾
Thanks for watching, I also liked the V50.
I am amazed by the sound recording quality of V40. It captures a lot more bass which is rare for these small devices.
LG tends to have pretty good sound recording! 😄🌎✨
I completely agree with your opinion Grant that the V50 shoots best of all. I have it too and I dare say it is so. And this is another great video . Keep the good work. Do you thing to buy LG Wing?
Thanks, much appreciated. Probably will eventually get a Wing.
Cool comparison! LG V40 best sound! )))
Im waiting for this
Hoping you can do a comparison of LG V50's camera vs LG Wing
Excellent Comparo between the 3 phones.Sound wise , the V50 was clear compare to the V60,Seems that the noise reduction was pumped up in a better way on V50. Clear disadvantage for the lack of Night mode on V40 , but the AI compensated a little bit, we have to see detailed pictures tough. V60 in some shots give a yellowish tint to the flesh even tough it picked up more details.The ultrawide on the V60 created a much visible "barrel" , especially notable on the trees ,that they look about to fall over .Overall I will settle for the middle ground of the V50, not always a newer thing is a better thing,(V60 charging terminal problems)... Bigger size compared to the other 2, but that is a matter of comfort ,everybody has different size hands.With 7.72 oz (218 Grams) is a heavier that the V50 with 6.46 oz ( 183Grams)...Things to consider...Great Job as always ,Grant,,,,Thank You Very much for your time and dedication.
Detailed video dude .. king of patience producing a video with so much important information. In my opinion for a user who wants to make videos for KZhead the LG V5 WOULD BE PERFECT both in image and in audio capture, the LG V60 presents audio reasonably burst indoors but to record outdoors, I believe it brought the high and medium much better, in terms of video LG V60 leaves the images indoors a little washed, now I found the photos of the flowers with the LG V60 very beautiful, sometimes the impression that the photo was based on the Photoshop aspect. LG V40 is quite equivalent to the LG V50. I was in doubt about buying the LG V60 AND THE V50 .. IN TERMS OF VALUES HERE IN BRAZIL the difference is big so I would be with the Reliable LG V50.
Thanks, the V50 is definitely still a very good phone with a nice camera. No need to upgrade unless you really have to.
Still one of my best go-to channel for camera reviews. My mind is all set after this video. I'm going to get that V50, sooner or later. It's been months watch reviews and comparison for V50 and it never disappoint, except for the 60hz screen and 4000mah battery. So far how is the battery performance of the V50 until now? Hope you could share it too.
I can get a day+ on the V50, but the V60 battery is crazy good (2+ days).
That's the only concern rn for the V50 the battery. What is your unit tho for the V50, did you get it refurbished or bn? Refurbished V50 can go up to 200 USD flat here in the Philippines rn without the dual screen.
Plus I like it more compact with the 6'4 compared to the taller V60.
@@karloivanne 60htz refresh is fine, just chicken neck waving contest for faster faster look mines bigger. People need to stop consuming, more more more, give me so much harder faster bigger longer. Relax the horizon will always be flat just like the water, no worries 👍.
I can where LG improved over the year's models but the biggest jump in quality seems to be in the audio recording in the V60 .
Thanks for the comparison! I actually wanted so bad to upgrade my V40 to V60, but the only upgrade I seen in this video was selfie and low light shoots, and what happened to 7:20? Dunno it's software problem with the V60 or it is what it is.
40 is even superior in low light imo, relax v40 is OK. 845 processor little weak is all.
I'll go for v50..😁
The v60 has less noise on video recording.
Nice Review Sir 💞
Thanks
Great video!👏 What is better cameraphone for you? Lg v50 or Xiaomi Mi 10t pro? Mainly considering the videos, the color fidelity and also the audio quality. Do you recommend another smartphone for my needs? Thank you!
Don't have the 10T pro, but the V50 main camera is still very good and no one is matching LG's DAC for audio these days. Unless you want to upgrade to something like a Pixel for camera and get an external portable DAC you might be best by sticking with the V50.
@@GrantLikesTech thank you so much! Do you believe that LG V50 can compete against Iphone 13 pro max in terms of photos, videos and audio? I would very much like to know your opinion!
Hi grant. Thanks for the video. Lately I've been watching your videos especially related to LG phones, as im currently using LG V30. I've been thinking to switch either to V40 or V50. So based on your opinion, taking into account camera, battery life performance, audio, which is a better buy, V40 or V50? Thanks for your reply in advance😊😊
I'd go V50. Better cameras despite being the same and longer battery life.
Alright, thanks bro for the recommendation. Will be missing the LG brand in the smartphone world. Been using LG phones (G5 & V30) for the past 5 years now. Really loved the phones especially with the camera image quality & no doubt the audio quality, great sound😊😊
Get a v60. More RAM, bigger screen, bigger battery, better cameras, faster chip
The rear cameras i liked the most was the v50s cameras, but i have to say that the v40 handles better in low light conditions and it don't even have a dedicated night mode. The same from the front facing cameras, the v50 is great when it has good lights condition, but the v60 nails it in low light conditions. And the v60 take the greatest portraits photos, has more depth of fields without losing the natural feeling.
the sound of the V60 is noticeably distorted by the noise suppressor, they shouldn't have done that! )))
In terms of taking still pictures in my opinion it seems to be a tie between V40 and V50. Some pictures look best on the V40, others look best on V50. In the case of the V60, I don't know if it's the image processing or the sensors itself or w/e but in general the pictures just don't look good. They're either unsharp, lack detail, oversaturated and/or inaccurate colors (which makes it looks unnatural), way off white balance or a combination of any of those factors. The only points i can give it on some pictures over the V40 and V50 is it's HDR performance, but overall the V60's camera performance seems to be very disappointing.
Muito obrigado por este vídeo agora eu tenho uma meta de smartphone para melhor as gravações do meu canal
excellent review, I would not be upgrading for the sake of a camera
I've been binge watching your V50 for days now since I saw a slightly used V50 for sale. I've been contemplating if I should pull the trigger. The reason why I'm considering it is because of the DAC but I'm watching your vids and check if the cam still holds up.
I still think the main camera is very good. The front camera not so much. Pro controls are nice too.
@@GrantLikesTech thanks for the feedback and videos bro! The other reason is because flagship phones nowadays are too expensive and I don't want to shell out that much and I think a flagship from couple of years ago should be enough for me.
@@Dandalandan117 you can get a v60 used for $100 on eBay
I would LOVE to see a video/audio comparison between the Mark III and the LG V50/LG V60. I cant easily find how many mics the Sony device has and, regardless, as a content creator I 'm "dying" to hear the audio differences. Maybe in the future...Stay safe, everyone
By the way, Asus Zenphone 7 was said to have three microphones. As well as Pro grade settings for audio and video. I remember Grant doing a review for suggesting alternative to the Flip Zen. LG V50 vs Zenphone 7 vs Sony X1 Mark III That could be put to the video/audio quality comparison test, in a future video. Longshot, I know but Fingers crossed.
Very good video
Thanks!

Thanks, welcome!
Is your v50 on android 11 by chance? I know LG is outta there, but my v50 didnt make the cut of android 11 before their departure. It is on june 1st 2021 patch tho.
I am so torn right now, I think I need to watch this over again on the bigger screen on my computer to see what's up, how ever the performance on all 3 seem so good the V50 seems to produce some much better photos than the V40 in some shots and it also seems to produce some better contrast and details than the V60 in some shots but I still like how the V60 handle some situations especially with some of the white balance and low light. I want to watch again a few more times on the PC to make sure, but I definitely want to get myself a V50 tho. Good comparisons btw.
I'm thinking now to upgrade my v40 to v60. And strange but in other video comparison I saw better performance of v60 especially it was not oversaturated. Here it looks like samsung ))) I'm very interested in v60 vith Gcam. My v40 with Gcam making magic and I believe that v60 with newer sensor has to make bigger magic though...
Lol, thanks. Glad it's a thinker. Using the cameras I lean towards the V50 though.
@@GrantLikesTech thanks for ur msg :)
It's soooo close, I think I'll stick with my V40. If I were buying a new one right now, I would probably still go with the v40 because it is the best bargain. And - except for my charging port crapping out (I'm too lazy to clean it) - it's still a GREAT phone in 2022!
I have the v30 and am planning on upgrading to v50. V40 and above are still great in 2022
With the latest update LG V60 do you think it is a better camera?
Hi! Any chance to compare Lg V50 vs Lg G8X? Same year but slightly different cameras
the V60 has the upperhand when it comes to low light but I'd still for the V50 overall
Definitely not a lot of difference but it seems like the V50 exposes darker than the other 2 but it's pretty consistent. Detail wise they all seem similar. The biggest difference that I can see is that the V60 still has this green tint for some reason 🤔 which is sad it would have been an excellent all rounder if it wasnt for that! Definitely agree that the V50 is the best (bit biased since I did have a V50 before 😂 but it does have great cameras)
V50 crew!
It's crazy. But the V60 was the worst of them all.
What's up
In low light, it certainly captures more details. Look at the leaves and grass.
I've been testing my v60 to my v40 and I've also notice that the v40 can certainly do better than the v60 at times. The v40 can focus close to a subject than the V60. The V60 has to be in manual mode to focus closer
Lol, totally missed this comment earlier. V60 cameras are good, but I still prefer the main camera on the V50.
@@GrantLikesTech from the videos, it does seem that the V50 does do better. Guess the changes in the camera of the V60 needed more refinement.
Very good,👍
Thanks
Hi sir. How do I remove the light glare or flare on photos when taking shots of a subject with led lights? I'm using LG V50 stock cam
I still wish LG would have launched just one more flagship V70. Loved their devices and their hardware.
Nice vid, yay I’m first!
Do you have any issue sir on lg v50 amdroid 11? How the battery? How long hours interms of normal usage?
Vídeo detalhado cara .. rei da paciência produzir um vídeo com tantas informações importantes. Na minha opinião para um usuário que pretende fazer vídeos para KZhead o LG V5 SERIA Perfeito tanto em imagem quando em captura de áudio, o LG V60 apresenta áudio razoavelmente estourado em ambientes fechados mas para gravar em área externa, acredito que trouxe os agudos e médios bem melhores, em termos de vídeo LG V60 deixa as imagens em ambiente fechado um pouco lavadas, agora achei muito bonitas as fotos das flores com o LG V60 as vezes da impressão que a foto ficou embasada com aspecto de Photoshop . LG V40 fica bem equivalente ao LG V50. EU fiquei em duvida em comprar o LG V60 E O V50 .. EM TERMOS DE VALORES AQUI NO BRAZIL a diferença é grande então ficaria com o Confiável LG V50.
Estou na pesquisa tbm kkk entre os v's , a diferença do v60 e o v50 no Aliexpress é de apenas 150 Reais, eu acho o v50 mais bonito, estou tentando decidir entre os dois
@@wallacewmc1 Eae, man, pegou qual dos dois?
@@kaksdasdh3bhada escolhi o v50, mas já está a 15 dias em Curitiba, e não atualiza mais ,só chegou no Brasil, acho que roubaram meu Cell kkk
@@wallacewmc1 pô, esse negócio de roubar celular é foda... já tive uns 3 celulares "extraviados" pelos correios.
@@wallacewmc1 Mas em Curitiba não, jajá seu celular deve passar
I think the V40 had the best and consistent photo and color reproduction compared to the V50 And 60
As for the photo details v40 is the best🥰
Have you retested the V60 since latest updates?
Bro beats izzz sikk worD!!!
V50 takes better photos (except night shots). Auto mode in V60 is a little bit worse but everything changes in manual mode. Video on V60 is way better - less noisy, much smoother and steady. I compared this two and I bought V60 for videos. In manual mode it's the best quality, the most natural smartphone camera out there
What about pictures on manual mode? Which is better?
why are u lying? V60 has this muffled hollow filter that is present throughout their recordings. I know because i have one. Tried so hard to toy with the settings. Go listen to comparisons of v60 videos too. You will know what i mean. That filter will never go away. Also its picking up so much noise when in windy conditions or when loud cars zoom passes, the noise artefacts are unreal.
@@jonathanchia9167 Easy man. I didn't have any problems with v60. Maybe you have refurbished one?
Does anyone know why the front camera on the v40 is so laggy? I’ve tried restarting my phone and messing around with settings but haven’t figured out why. The rear camera has no issues at all, and the front camera also lags on Snapchat just like in the actual application.
V60 has more pixels... but it looks better (to me) in v50. And I love the "video stabilization" of v60. But I prefer the v50 overall.... thanks man...
which has better sounding dac between v50 and v60?
V40 still rocking images .. v50 and v60 r d newest in terms of chipset and ram size and storage and added 8k video and d camera in front are more higher thn d v40.. But still camera images frm v40 still rockin'
2023 still using V30, V40 and V50 they're all good conditions 👍
is this the v50s version? with (S) series?
I have V40 and V60 All great phones I also want a V50 It has the most comprehensive functions But V50 is not listed in Taiwan
I'm using all the three And v60 has the best primary camera But the ultrawide isn't even better than v30
Absolutely agree! I have now v40 & v60. And I can tell that inside the room without sunlight v60 much better. I compared v60 with iPhone 12 pro max and was surprised that v60 better in colour reproduction and details!
V30 gang where u at !!!
I have V35 cracked screen. Honestly design is perfect for me. No notch. Screen neither to narrow or tall. Thinking about V50 but it doesn't sound like it's good on Mint Mobile...
Which is the best phone for 4k videoRecod?🇱🇰
I still think that V40 makes better pictures than two others.
👓
very much like that! and writes the sound better! )))
@@Primorskiy72 🦻
That quad HD display is beautiful but the v60 has bigger sensor which let in more light plus it's got a 64 megapixel shooter which is way more than the other two and it's capable of a lot higher resolution 8K video recording but the v40 which I own has one of the most beautiful displays on any smartphone ever LG pioneered the quad HD displays and they showcased it with these 4/5/6 v-series
@@kevinwhiting8391v60 has a horrible 1080p display. I got used to high resolution and went back to my v60 and hated the blurry screen.
Have youve done v50 and lg 8? I wonder which is the better camra
No, but should be similar given the same standard and ultra wide sensor specs. No telephoto on the G8 though.
Please review camera LG G8x
V50 or V50s? which one is better?
Is the v60 mobile better for making very good videos? Or tell me if you have any other opinion.
yeah it is
The V60's front cam video, looks like it's from 2002...Terrible. I was just about to buy a v60 for $200... Please tell me you have manual control over the front cam... It did pick up the dog hair detail the best though.
All three selfies aren't great, but V60 is clearly the best. Maybe the yellowish tone feels 2002 to you.
Yellow tone same the issue of front V60' camera. When you your face very close, it so good :))
All 3 cameras are still good.
I think the v40 did better than the v50 but overall the V60 did better in the dark without crushing shadows as much as the other 2. I also like the vibrancy of the day colours and colour science seems more stable. The v50 loses too much in the dark for the win IMO.
Appreciate sharing your thoughts on this, which I love hearing since we all have different perspectives on what we like to see.
Incredible the v40 iit's the more older and in some picture is better 🤪
My V40 thinq main camera not working after update Android 10
Does it now have face unlock?
What's the best version of the V50 to purchase outside the US, for getting updates and possibly being bootloader unlocked? Sprint Verizon European Korean
Get the Korean domestic version LG V50 v500N, it updates to Android 12 !!
I'll go for the v50 but what happens v50 :(.
V40 or V50 are best value of the 3. Audio seems better on the V40 for some reason
V60 is better for zooming in daylight condition coz of the big sensor and megapixels. However it struggled to focus at times, so v50 is the most consistent camera phone
I used the V50 with the Gcam, more fun than the built-in camera. compared to v50 and v40, why is v60 the worst?
No idea, but probably due to the new larger sensor
As much as i dont want to demoralize my v60, i have to agree some of the commenters here. I also been having quite a few problems with the performance of it, especially with the oversaturation, that extremely obvious and annoying halo effect (looks like dirty lens) and struggle to autofocus on auto mode. Most of the time, i take pictures on manual mode now, and the fact you cant use 64mp mode on manual just sucks as hell. Oh and am not gonna forget that the v60 front cam IS THE WORST IVE EVER SEEN. My old nokia 6 2017 shoots better front pictures (color balance more specifically) than the v60. Other than that, thank you so much for making this video comparison, i was gonna settle with the v50s but the 5kmah of the v60 is just too good to pass since im a really heavy user. I still love my v60 for sure, its just a bit annoying that i have to compromise a bit to get the best shots.
how about software updates? or android? should i care if it wont update anymore in 1-2 years?
Personally, I'm not. I use a phone for what it does today, not what it could be in the future.
Who needs a $1200 Iphone or Galaxy. I Use my LGs camares all the time for pics and video. I have 2 LG phones the V50 and V60 use them all the time.I print 8x10s straight from camera to the printer they look like MirrorLess camera prints.
Agree. I bought two LG V40 and V35 phones two years ago outright instead of financing a latest and greatest phone. LG Quad Dac slays! Paid about $550 for both in new cond. Now will keep the V40 and get V60.
Hi, Lg v50 vs lg g8x
V40 & v50 color science is similar v60 takes it different way.You should have mentioned which one is closer to real life. Front mic v40 is good to me v60 is same as v40 but louder & v50 sound different. Low light images v60 is good only when nightmode is activated. With & without ai v40 pic is almost same.Tell me do v40 takes time to capture during night?how is the ai mode on v40 take time compare to other 2 nightmode? I was really shocked to 10x zoom quality is low on v60 despite large 64mp camera! Overall v40 iamges best to me on my g6. I don't know why did you like the v50.
my favorit v 50.
Why do you think so many reviews say the V50 is mediocre and cameras are mediocre?
I think v50 camera is the best.But v60 night view is the best.
Besides camera quality, which is the better phone?
V60
Keep coming back to this video... Solely Judging the accoustic clarity using a good pair of headphones, in my ears, V40 does have a slightly more clear,louder sound and able to pick up all the background noise too. V50 seems to capture with a tad bit less volume/intensity/clarity (of course, settings can change this). However, V50 shines in wind-cancelling! V40 also doing a very good job in pictures and video. Two great-value phones for content creation... Thank you, Grant
This video made me sad. I bought V60 last week and main reason is camera. I have v35 & v40 and now v60. In this video I liked the v40 pictures. Help me decide should I return the v60. I have used the front camera and the dynamic range is very poor and also it crops a lot. Please help me if I return this and get s20 fe. Thanks for another video man.
Lol, V60 is still a great phone. Cameras are good and battery life is amazing. I'd stick with it unless you're really unhappy using it day to day.
