There are strong colours in this river scene and the bright sky hasn't been blown out. The shadows on the bottom right are rather too dark, though. With HDR mode enabled, the scene is more balanced, with more visible detail in the shadows. The Galaxy S6 Edge's attempt was similarly impressive, with very little to differentiate the two. This cafe scene has thrown the camera somewhat, with a bright, overexposed sky on the right, and a lot of shadows on the cafe itself. The sky is a little better with HDR mode enabled and the shadows have been lifted a little, too. The S6 Edge's HDR attempt is marginally darker in the cafe entrance, but the sky is more controlled and colours are slightly richer.

Looking at this graffitied building, it's clear to see that both the G4 and S6 Edge have slightly darker images than the iPhone 6, although the iPhone's shot has overexposed the sky more than the other two, Detail and colours are comparable across all three shots, however, The HDR mode has worked very well on all phones here, with much more controlled skies being shown, The G4's shot has the most detail when viewed at full screen, certainly better unique polka 360 case iphone xr case - rose gold / clear than that of the iPhone 6, which has half the resolution, The iPhone's is a little brighter again and there is more contrast on the graffiti art..

The G4 has done a great job in capturing this bright riverside scene in Paris. Colours are excellent, the exposure is very even (thanks to the auto HDR mode), and there's sufficient detail to crop in a little closer if you wish. All three phones snapped an evenly exposed shot of this classic Fiat 500, although the iPhone 6 and S6 Edge captured the most natural colours. The G4 has opted for a warmer, less natural white balance. LG made a big fuss at the G4's launch event about its wider f/1.8 aperture and its physically larger image sensor -- both of which should allow the phone to capture brighter scenes in low light. On this shot of a building at night, it's clear that the G4's tweaks have allowed it to capture a brighter shot than both the S6 Edge and iPhone 6, without too much image noise creeping in.

On this second building shot, the G4 again produced the best results, with a well-lit scene and the most natural colours, The iPhone struggled to achieve a sharp focus, and a lot of image noise means the image lacks clarity and detail at full-screen size, The S6 Edge's shot, meanwhile, has a very warm, unnatural hue, LG has equipped the G4 with manual camera controls, allowing you to independently change ISO, shutter speed and white balance settings, In this shot, I was able to unique polka 360 case iphone xr case - rose gold / clear slow the shutter speed to 2 seconds (I supported the phone on a tripod), in order to capture the trails of car headlights below and achieve smooth waves on the river..

The G4 is also among the first flagship Android phones that has allowed for raw image shooting. Raw photos are essentially images that haven't been processed by the phone -- they're simply taken directly from the image sensor. As white balance data hasn't been saved, it allows you to change this afterward in editing software such as Adobe Lightroom. Raw photos typically record more detail in highlight and dark areas, letting you rescue blown-out areas more easily than you can with JPEG images. By shooting in the G4's raw format, I was able to greatly increase the brightness of the image, as well as alter white balance and a couple of other basic tweaks to produce an image that wouldn't look out of place coming from a dSLR.
