no way, my old 6p blows the g6 camera out of the water.

Simplified comparison

nexus 6p auto vs lg 6 auto https://photos.app.goo.gl/3jCZfYXGeGhy1EpX9

Lg g6 photos: stock software vs google camera app https://photos.app.goo.gl/VhWJyI7MyLS9GELn1

Look here at low light mode, look at the face on the $5 bill. https://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=5&idPhone1=8466&idPhone2=7588&idPhone3=8161

Even at 700 iso, the nex 6p keeps the shading natural and not processed bad vs the s8 at 250 iso. You can see how badly both the s8 and g6 over sharpens and amps the contrast up; they lose the nuance of shading. When you’re taking pictures of people and skin tones this effect looks even worse.

Shame on you, dpreview for your g6 review. Didn’t expect this coming from you guys.
