Wow that's a very nice picture! Do you use a 3rd party camera or is that stock?

No I use stock camera app
Stock camera app, not HDR, no settings played with.

I'm pretty sure the Tapatalk app is compressing these. They look much better in the photos app.

I have the iPhone 6+ and Note 4 around; I've used the Nexus 6 camera for an hour (indoors only). From what I used it is slower and not as well balanced than the iPhone 6+ camera. Note 4 was just as fast as the Nexus 6, maybe a bit faster.
Both the iPhone 6+ and Note 4 have far, far better software for the camera app and thus they both take far better photos (for a smartphone) compared to the Nexus 6. In low-light the Nexus 6 performs like a Galaxy Nexus (which I've used often) compared with the iPhone 6+ and Note 4. There are many tests which show how bad the Nexus 6 is in low light, especially without flash.
From my limited experience it was ok but noticeable worse than the iPhone 6+ and Note 4. If you were testing all three together in a store, you would see the difference.
Potentially if someone creates a new camera app with far better software in the app - puts it for sale on the PlayStore (so you don't need a rooted phone to use it) - the Nexus 6 camera could be much better. As it is the stock camera app post-processing software is terrible compared to other flagships. The current cameras on the PlayStore (that I've used) do not get the best out of the N6 camera either.
From what I know the camera hardware in the N6 is comparable to the Note 4 so theoretically it can match the photo quality of the Note 4 in all conditions. The software though is not comparable.

Note 4 has sony exmor imx 240 which is the newest sensor from sony that's why note 4 is the top dog nexus 6 has imx 214 sensor which is the same as one plus one but takes far better pictures than one plus one . we gonna see new amazing third party apps soon since lollipop camera api has been released from google.

Great thanks for the confirmation on the sensors; then the Nexus 6 will never compete with the Note 4 or iPhone 6+ on the camera front, it will always be a step behind. When they said 'premium, no compromises' I think they were joking. I honestly expected it to at least match the Note 4 with camera tech for the price. Worse screen I expected, but not the camera tech.
The Nexus 6 is essentially a Note 3 with a faster processor (but you probably wouldn't notice due to the encryption) and stock Android. Ideally should be priced like a Note 3 then...

I had note 4 for a week and it lag like hell everything seems slow motion compare to nexus 6 thats the reason I sold note 4 on the front facing camera it could compete with iPhone 6 plus but not with note 4 cause it has 3.7mp wide angle lens.
Hello! Xiaomi Mi5s Plus was launched recently and here are the features: 5.7-inch FHD Screen, Snapdragon 821 CPU, 6GB RAM, and Triple cameras with two rear cameras (source: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaomi-mi5s-plus).
The dual rear cameras is a unique characteristic in which it features a 13MP colored camera and a 13MP black & white camera. I'm not sure how this would translate. But I'm certain the 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 821 processor would definitely provide an excellent performance.
Any thoughts on this smartphone?
If a decent developer community forms and this gets the ability to work on Verizon then I'm sold. But I have to hold out hopes that the Mi5 progress keeps advancing and can easily translate to this device.

Be careful, the mi5s plus cameras are old sony imx258 and not the new imx378 on the mi5s. Also the mi5s plus lacks of ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Yah, they gimped the plus so much.. if you like larger phones, neither are good buys. If the plus had 2 x imx378 and ultrasonic, best phone in the world easily, by hardware.
The pixel phones use the imx378, I believe, and the pixel is rated best camera phone by DxO (take with grain of salt as they're apparently biased), but it still shows the prowess of the imx378.
Would the dual rear cameras make any difference in terms of picture quality? How can the additional black & white camera help?
Just got this phone today.
It is amazing fast, super high performance.
With default setup, it can have 4G RAM free
However, it only have chinese stock rom at this moment.

Well, sadly enough that the imx378's sensor is large and I assumed that is why the dual camera setup with that sensor is not achievable.
Same goes to OIS, most probably due to sensor size issues. (Pixel phones have no OIS thou)

From what I've read, but I'm not an expert, the B&W camera should be capable of capturing more light.
So combining images from both cameras it should capture better pictures on low light conditions.

So I guess it will result to much clearer pictures and lesser noise compared to the single color camera. That's nice. :good:

I saw a screenshot on eu.miui.
Would have bought it if it were sold with that when it came out. Now I have bought a Sony. Probably will wait for the Mi Note Pro 2.
Maybe some would want to post photo samples with the latest ROM?

I have it and for me there's 2 things that I don't like. MIUI 8 , I'm a stock Android guy I hope somebody bring cm or something like this to this mobile and the other thing it's the camera, it's a camera for me from the beginning of 2015, that perform well in optimal light conditions and in low light even with the stereo option it's not very well.
Conclusion, I'm not a photo guy so there's no problem but I can't support miui even that it runs fast in this mobile. So until we have some development to this mobile I'm going to stay whit my axon 7.

Hi everybody, thanks for reading , Sooo I am an LG G5 owner right now(the 4gb ram and SD820 version and having the phone around 7 months already), Im thinking to change to a Nexus 6p, LG G5 is not a bad phone actually, I like the two rear cameras from the back, Even that I dont use much the 8MP one(only for a big selfie group sometimes), the selfie camera is good for me actually, So Im thinking of sell my device and buy an Nexus 6p, the principal reasons for a phone to me are: battery life, screen(5.5 to 5.7) and body ratio, selfie cam which I use more than the rear one :laugh: . I never had a Nexus before, I was always like to test a Nexus for the experience of pure Android and faster updates or improvements, So what you think? Its a good choice to move from LG G5 to a Nexus 6p? Should I wait to the Pixel(that its going to be expensive in my country El Salvador :crying: ) or HTC Bolt(that I started to like) to arrive my country? Would you suggest another phone?
I would put some reasons for what I have seen against/for both phones for what I have seen
LG G5:
Pros:
Had 2 rear cameras, both have a really good resolution and the 8MP one is almost like a GoPro, which is cool
Had a good selfie cam
SD 820 and 4GB RAM do the job
Feels good in one hand
Speaker is pretty good
Cons:
Its value could be at $250-$300 to the end of the year or the next(in my country El Salvador), really underpriced
Not root, but Nougat is coming
Kind of ugly, even that I had a Dbrand Skin on it, doesnt feel/see premium
Bad batterly life when heavy use
For what I had seen on videos, this are the reasons I would take or not the Nexus:
Pros:
Really good camera, I think that is a beast in low light photos, even that only have 1 and not 2 cameras
A better selfie cam that the G5(which I use a lot)
Its value does not drop to much(around $350 the 32GB version actually in my country)
Amazing battery life
Fast updates (until mid of 2017)
Design
Double Speaker
Cons:
SD 810 and 3GB RAM(Its not bad but is getting old )
Its a 2015 device
Could be bigger(not the screen size, the phone)
Now we have the new gen of Nexus,Pixel
Only one cam against 2 of LG G5 or others 2016/2017 flagships
What do you think? Thanks for your help
I am seeking new phone....
HTC 10 , LG G5 & V20 , S7 & S7 Edge , Xperia XZ
Mate 9 , Mi Note 2 , Axon 7 , etc.
but I think I will stay with my angler for a while. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
(May be I would buy 2nd hand Pixel XL next year.)
I'm a Nexus 6p owner, the battery life isn't as amazing as you describe, and the front camera is good but nothing special, if you choose it you shouldn't do it for these reasons but for instantly updates and modding

I came from a lg v10 even tho they say all this ram and processor on the lg v10 it couldn't keep up like the Nexus 6p does.
Nexus 6p
Just bought my nexus 6p yesterday, at least I felt that camera,screen and in hand-feel sensation are better than the G5, also the speaker but it was really good on the G5 too, I hadnt tested battery life yet but only with having Nougat i feel the difference and Im very happy with him

Matters what good is. With lots of modding and sacraficing performance, I can get 4:30h. If you just use stock, you will be lucky getting 3h
I run stock rooted 7.1.1 use my phone a lot and get 5hrs + SOT so battery is great for me. It's all about the user and what apps they use how the brightness is set etc...My point is that some will say it's bad and others will say it's great.

From what I've seen in Unbox Therapy's video the camera app (and especially it's portrait mode) on the Galaxy Note 8 seems to be a lot better. Will there be a port like we saw with the Pixel camera? The note 8 had a model with the SD835 like the op5 and I guess other smartphones with the same type of dual camera setups could benefit from this as well. Will we ever see a port of the app and if not why?

I wouldn't hold my breath. TouchWiz is much further away from OOS than Google's version of android. Too many proprietary files on TouchWiz that we wouldn't have access to.
Doubtful, even if it's got the same chipset, it won't have the same cameras. OnePlus usually use Sony cameras (Apparently the main camera is the Sony IMX 398), Samsung will most likely use their own and the software will be designed to fit their own hardware.
Apparently the S7 has a Sony camera though, so....who knows.
Yeah, probably slim to none. Touchwiz is too proprietary

Hello,
is it worth to buy G6 in late 2019?
the specs okay for me but I am worried about updates. it's still running older android 8.
how stable are custom ROMs and chances of getting pure android 9 or lineage os ?
also, what are the other things like/dislike about this phone?
Love everything about it!!
Matt

I had one and just upgraded to a Galaxy S9. The LG G6 is a great phone. Don't get too hung up on whether or not Pie will arrive as Oreo is a totally adequate operating system.
LG have improved the flow of security updates, mines currently on April 2019 and we might get Pie - but I'm not holding my breath.
I was thinking of upgrading but the closest I could find for sensible cost was the pixel 3a, so have decided to stick and just replaced the battery.
Main issue I have with the G6 is the cameras, which are average at best and often disappointing due to the over processing of images.
Skip the g6 and go for v35thinq.

Why are you not using the GCam? There's fully working normal and wide can support and million times better over the stock cam?
I loved my G6 but now over 2 years old I found it lackluster and just kinda slow. Upgraded to one plus 7 pro and OMG what a world of difference. Mostly not cause one plus but mostly cause the snapdragon 855 of course.

I've got GCam, the images are sharper but still doesn't come close to other flagship phones of the same era - LG were just really cheap with the rear cameras and it shows.

I'm not sure about that my G6 again 2+ years old for sure beats the gs8 as far as point and shoot goes for sure. But yes the G6 is the last LG phone I'll ever buy sadly as I like to be different and stay away from Samsung. Luckily one plus 7 pro works perfectly on Verizon

After the camera update in spring I started to take more pictures with the G6 than with the P20 Pro (my other phone). So I think the camera is the best thing about this phone now. And the quad dac if you have it.
