I took the LG G5 to Spain as my main vacation camera, and I have to say, that 8MP near fish eye camera does wonders. I've captured tons of architectural shots in one frame, and its looks awesome. That secondary camera should be a must going forward in smartphones.
We mentioned that in our g5 review, the performance isn't significantly different, but honestly there wasn't a lot to fix about the G4 for still photos. I'm just bummed that G phones won't get the video features from the V10.
Planning on getting a 6p soon, I know its not the NEWEST device out but its still far from old, wonder if you plan on doing a video on that camera? Have seen some incredible shots from that device
The image shooting in low light condition, the "blur" is not because of the shake of hands from my experience, it's because HTC 10 struggles at focusing in low light condition.
Did you retest all the cameras with updates and stuff or simply reused photos from your previous reviews? Phones like HTC 10 have had huge updates quite recently apparently and fixed problems like overexposure etc. would like to see how the phones compare after the updates
I revisit when appropriate, but honestly it's pretty rare that software updates RADICALLY change camera performance. Like the HTC 10 got some mediocre reviews from people using the re-release software. We waited for an update before reviewing it and it was better, but we were talking about fairly minor saturation and contrast tweaks. We saw little change looking at the RAW files.
Juan, awesome video! I always come looking for you when I want to watch an honest camera review. I like this mash up you did here, I currently have both the HTC 10 & OP3 and I agree with your statements on each. As a long time HTC fan this is the phone I've been waiting for. Keep up the awesome work!
I'm in love with my Huawei p9 camera.. but I do have some issues with manual mode in the app. but.. I keep going back to Carl Zeiss lens on my lumia device. the question is, will the new iPhone going to add a manual mode in its new camera app?
Any idea what stylus he was using? I have Note 4, but I hate how small the stylus is, so I would preferred a good stylus like his. [Love to draw using AutoDesk Sketchbook]. So a stylus like in the video is preferred.
Well, after my mobile operator lowered the price on the S7 Edge, I have given up and bought that. Can happily report the camera is snappy! Also did a quick test with Filmic Pro - and it works like a charm. Recorded short 100Mbps clip (fps might have dipped to 28-29).
+JuanBagnell juan cena!!!!!! 😵😵😱💪💪💪💪😝😆😆😆 I juander if my man-childhood could get any worse than that juan guy called killer keemstar? the juandrosities are endless my friend
You're welcome. We've been frustrated by that too. I haven't been about to get my hands on one. We really want to run that phone through our tests too.
Hey man, that stylus looks great. Would you please tell us which one it is? Some of us use note taking apps which would work great with the stylus you use. Cheerio.
It would be cool to see a comparison between these phones and a Lumia 950. The phone I own... Price dropped a reasonable bit, so for photographers, it would be an awesome choice!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Madden Seth thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Your doing Great Bro! I requested for a budget line-up but with the best cameras. Could you add the Moto Z Force since It's a Verizon exclusive? So far my pick is the LG G5, even though the GS7 is enticing, but the price is a bit "wallet melting"...I like this line up, but if you could slip in the Moto Z Force(21mp) to review in the list, for us lowly plebeian Verizon customers. It will help me tremendously to finally make up my mind. Thanks and Keep up the Awesome job that you all do!!
Hurm... I'm not the guy to ask. I've never been the biggest Nexus fan, but I am enjoying Android N, so if THAT's why you want to make the jump, I could understand that.
Galaxy S7 or P9 probably, but you can check out each of the reviews and see for yourself. We've got ton of samples and you can decide for yourself what look you prefer.
dhns555 Both are great. Depends of how much are these two devices. Huawei has slightly better camera, but one plus has much better speaker. Other stuff 's are similar.
Me too. The MXPE is good, but not as good as it can be. They took a step (albeit a small step, 21 megapixels aren't everything without the software to use them) and hopefully can make a giant step forward, hopefully without the camera mod.
Maybe there is different versions of s7 camera, but on my European can't do any useful macro under 4 inches (10cm) , even on manual focus. Also it does over-process and blurs too much. I've had an LG G2 and that thing is a king for macro detail shot. I do many electronic repairs and it's like a microscope! I wonder how G5 comperes.
juan of the rings what abt a display test ? dedicated display with all geek goodies like subpixel arrangement colour , dynamic contrast etc. Now would that not be good to "look" at !
You should try to do some real camera reviews of some past year or more phones to compare the improvement or lacks of this year phones, phones like lumia 950 xl, LG G4, LG V10, Lumia 1520/930 for example.
Smartphone Awards (my opinion) - LG G5 - "Best innovative phone" HTC 10 - "Best comeback of the year" Samsung Galaxy S7 - "Smartphone of the year"

I think you could make a real camera review of the Moto G4 Plus to see where stands in comparison with the other flagships, not because it's a flagship phone, but because it's the most successful product of Motorola and one of the most sold in Latin America and other emerging markets.
the s7 has a great cam, but to be honest i dont like this extrem saturation and the oversharpening. the htc 10 is maybe not the best in auto, but the overall package with this big sensor and a wide aperture CAN produce some great pictures. and i really want to know how good the raw images are in comparison
FIRST HAPPY FRIDAY!
i wanted to be the first... :(
Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!
first view... :)
s7 FTW pls sub on my channel
+Jan Menes you are the first person to complain about wanting to be first so in a way a you are first. 😂😂😂😏
Haha
juan of the best videos on pocketnow right now. sorry just had to do it haha!
HA!
+JuanBagnell thank you for this videi! I'll stick to my s7 edge.. 😌
Erick Baldomera
Probably a safe plan... For now...
;-)
+JuanBagnell a bit disappointed that you didn't take xiaomi mi5 into consideration as it boasts a very high camera quality and stabilization.
Nowfal Ahamed
Can't take something into consideration when I don't have it. Been trying to get my hands on one.
LG and HTC did a 180 degree this year, LG being the lackluster one and HTC being the surprise dark horse.
Definitely a role reversal.
I took the LG G5 to Spain as my main vacation camera, and I have to say, that 8MP near fish eye camera does wonders. I've captured tons of architectural shots in one frame, and its looks awesome. That secondary camera should be a must going forward in smartphones.
Still hoping that we see that set up on a V10 successor...
I just bought G5 like 3 weeks ago. trust me, holding this phone makes me wanna shoot every scenes of my life!
TheWowwa
THat's when you know you got the right camera for you.
+JuanBagnell i have s7 and g5 and i can tell that g5 is much better than s7...
JuanBagnell OMG are you for real? you replied to my post! #fangirl
Did the htc 10 in this video have the updated camera ?
can you tell me what styllus pen u r using ?
How does the 5X and 6P compare?
Well. I'd personally take a Nexus over a OnePlus. Maybe even the HTC, but it's be close.
Using op3.. How did u cleared the noise in low light photo on op3?
first like before, just one quick question, how is the software update 1.80 stacks up against 1.24 I think that you produced a video about on HTC 10?
I really appreciate the camera comparison videos. Good job!
Juan, why wasn't the Nexus 6P in this video? Nice video otherwise, thank you
It's a 2015 phone.
Please do an in depth review of ZTE axon 7 too.
Thanks
REALLY want to see what that phone can do...
+JuanBagnell sound quality of axon 7 might be the best amongst all the smartphones out there
+JuanBagnell what's the name of the second song?
why old pictures? same softwares?
can you do a comprs between the g4 and g5 camera because even with the 2 camera in the g5 i dont think it is much better.
We mentioned that in our g5 review, the performance isn't significantly different, but honestly there wasn't a lot to fix about the G4 for still photos. I'm just bummed that G phones won't get the video features from the V10.
Planning on getting a 6p soon, I know its not the NEWEST device out but its still far from old, wonder if you plan on doing a video on that camera? Have seen some incredible shots from that device
We won't be back tracking on older phones for these camera reviews. They're too labor intensive, but we will be covering this year's nexus phones.
Love this channel.their comments are reliable and on point... Neway got the p9 plus love the stills... Great camera
Juan is one of the best
"Juan is Juan of the best"
HA!
+Brian Vega exactly!
*****
:-D
+JuanBagnell omg! you reply! you're my favorite in pocketnow! thanks for all the great review!^^,
The image shooting in low light condition, the "blur" is not because of the shake of hands from my experience, it's because HTC 10 struggles at focusing in low light condition.

We waited for an update before reviewing it and it was better, but we were talking about fairly minor saturation and contrast tweaks. We saw little change looking at the RAW files.
sir,
which is best huawei p9 or op3
Juan, Lg v20 vs Oneplus 3? Can we make that happen?
Do Canada last with Microsoft , iOS and one plus
Juan, awesome video! I always come looking for you when I want to watch an honest camera review. I like this mash up you did here, I currently have both the HTC 10 & OP3 and I agree with your statements on each. As a long time HTC fan this is the phone I've been waiting for. Keep up the awesome work!
very informative I'm looking forward to the follow up on the mate 8 by you it would help alot and great work
Juan you are the only want that tests the audio from the headphone jack.
g5 or op3 ? btw same price
How about the Zuk Z1?
htc 10 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Could you do one for the Nexus 6P? Or at least, when the next Nexus phone comes out, do comparison reviews between the 2 (but really 3)?
much love coming from trinidad in the Caribbean....ordered my oneplus 3 but I'm more confident now on my bang for buck!!
I'm in love with my Huawei p9 camera.. but I do have some issues with manual mode in the app.
but.. I keep going back to Carl Zeiss lens on my lumia device.
the question is, will the new iPhone going to add a manual mode in its new camera app?
HUGE question. I'm honestly shocked Apple hasn't offered a pro mode. It's not in iOS 10 now, so I'll be surprised if the iPhone 7 has it...
Great video, keep on doing the camera and sound comparisons... It is great to have them before buying :)
when will the zenfone 3 full review and camera review happen. am dying to see it
Any idea what stylus he was using? I have Note 4, but I hate how small the stylus is, so I would preferred a good stylus like his. [Love to draw using AutoDesk Sketchbook]. So a stylus like in the video is preferred.
Are you going to do a moto z camera review when it comes out in September? I really want the moto z. I just hope the camera isn't shit
You know it!
Well, after my mobile operator lowered the price on the S7 Edge, I have given up and bought that. Can happily report the camera is snappy! Also did a quick test with Filmic Pro - and it works like a charm. Recorded short 100Mbps clip (fps might have dipped to 28-29).
Interesting. Kinda hot to think it could record that bitrate at 24fps though...
how 'bout the lumia 950?
is there a major difference between note 5 and s7???
Great Juan, Juan.
Hey Juan, please do a camera review of the Xiaomi Mi 5. It's a strong performer while costs even less than the OP3. Thanks!
simply put : Note 7.. :)
Me too :-D
it will EXPLODE! JK..... it's the same as the s7
Could you make a review of the Huawei G Play Mini?
love your reviews...
please add 1 more section about audio quality...
We do in the full reviews.
I have a question; I wonder if Nokia 1020 still worth to buy for its camera?
Why not putting the 950 xl?I don't get it
Because all those phones are from 2016
+Jayy Vee So what?
Yiannis Fotinis he's comparing the new phones that released this year not last year's phones
Are u gonna do any more audio videos in the future? I really enjoy them. Maybe like a ZTE axon vs HTC 10 vs v10 comparison? That would be dope.
You know it!
Awesome! Thanks.
When the axon review will be posted?
So the s7 is the best camera phone money can buy!
Would've liked to see a side by side comparison in the end. Awesome video though! :D
Pretty decent review, very detailed and enjoyable.
Very glad that Juan joined pocketnow team sometime ago. 😙 We are seeing the fruits of it now. Excellent work. 👌
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
+JuanBagnell juan cena!!!!!! 😵😵😱💪💪💪💪😝😆😆😆
I juander if my man-childhood could get any worse than that juan guy called killer keemstar?
the juandrosities are endless my friend
TheRuinedUniverse
O.o
Thanks for that! & What about the MI5 ?
You're welcome. We've been frustrated by that too. I haven't been about to get my hands on one. We really want to run that phone through our tests too.
What's do you mean haven't been about to get one? there is a lot of sites that ships the MI5 to the states
Now this is a camera showdown 👍👍
you should do full camera review on the lumia 950 XL see how good the camera is even if it is a disappointment in hardware/software
Hey man, that stylus looks great. Would you please tell us which one it is? Some of us use note taking apps which would work great with the stylus you use. Cheerio.
It would be cool to see a comparison between these phones and a Lumia 950. The phone I own... Price dropped a reasonable bit, so for photographers, it would be an awesome choice!
This is what I'm talking about! Seriously GREAT reviews. Keep it up guys, I love it!
:-)
I guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Garrett Karson instablaster =)
@Madden Seth thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Madden Seth It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Would love to see Moto Z and Z Force camera review and compare against the other flagship camera phones. Thanks.
ME TOO LOL! As soon as I can get my hands on one. Moto is due a top tier camera.
this was a superb summary of camera quality on 2016 flagship phones!
Damn we've come far lol
i suppose with so many devices you couldn't do a side by side picture comparison.
1) S7
2) LG G5
3) Oneplus 3
4) Huawei P9
5) HTC 10
all of those camera are great and the result for me is very near
Your doing Great Bro! I requested for a budget line-up but with the best cameras. Could you add the Moto Z Force since It's a Verizon exclusive? So far my pick is the LG G5, even though the GS7 is enticing, but the price is a bit "wallet melting"...I like this line up, but if you could slip in the Moto Z Force(21mp) to review in the list, for us lowly plebeian Verizon customers. It will help me tremendously to finally make up my mind. Thanks and Keep up the Awesome job that you all do!!
GOOD JOB with that kind of videos, keep it up !
BTW i think P9 is a very good option, i would go for it (in terms of photos of course )
Lumia 950/950xl?????
Hey Juan! I was thinking about selling my 7 edge for a 6p. what do you think?
Hurm... I'm not the guy to ask. I've never been the biggest Nexus fan, but I am enjoying Android N, so if THAT's why you want to make the jump, I could understand that.
JuanBagnell thanks man
Where is Sony Xperia z5 or z5 premium?
so galaxy 7 it is ??
I thought you gonna compare photos/video taken by these phones, not a walk through of 5 devices' cameras :(
so many phones and similar performances. whats the best low light shooter?
Galaxy S7 or P9 probably, but you can check out each of the reviews and see for yourself. We've got ton of samples and you can decide for yourself what look you prefer.
juan...you should do a battle of the cameras of the last 3 years flagships
Yikes... That's too much me thinks...
love HTC 10
I would really like to see how the ZTE axon 7 camera preforms.
REALLY want to see what that phone can do...
Thumbs up for the Axon 7. It might turn out to be the Oneplus 3 killer this year.
Stoyan Nikolov
LOL So violent... All these "phone killers" out there... O.o
JuanBagnell in the end, every killer gets killed by another... killer. Haha. Time to go to bed.
Stoyan Nikolov
:-D I feel like you just wrote the best HBO pilot ever...
G'night.
Am I the only one who doesn't like the s7 that much?
I really hate apple but Samsung is like, meh...
+Raian Levy wich phone you like?
+Azazel he said he has an HTC 10 (and I have one too 😃)
+Brisingr73 im asking raian not rich
+Azazel oh, my bad
can't wait fr LG V10 successor ...
Phone I'm MOST excited to see.
Mostafa Ahmed im from the future!! The lgv20 is great!!!!!
Which one should I get oneplus3 or p9? considering all aspects not just camera performance.
dhns555 Both are great. Depends of how much are these two devices. Huawei has slightly better camera, but one plus has much better speaker. Other stuff 's are similar.
Love these videos! It'll be interesting to see how the Moto Z/Z Force compare to these once they're released.
ME TOO! Moto needs a good camera.
Me too. The MXPE is good, but not as good as it can be. They took a step (albeit a small step, 21 megapixels aren't everything without the software to use them) and hopefully can make a giant step forward, hopefully without the camera mod.
Ronald Sims
Also crossing my fingers (but not holding my breath) that we get an interchangeable lens moto mod...
JuanBagnell that would be amazing.
Ronald Sims
I know it's super unlikely, but I just keep imagining Panasonic delivering their 1" sensor as a slap on mod. Sigh...
HTC 10 İS THE BEST 👍
I'm a OnePlus chick - got the first - still have it working fine 3 years later xD the OnePlus One
Full review and camera review for the ZTE Axon 7 please
Ultrapickels... You did it again Juan.
this is crazier than the battle in game of thrones. Juan of the rings. awesome video.
Test Xiaomi Mi5 it uses the same sensor used in OP3, plus it adds Laser autofocus & 4axis OIS.
This makes it easier for me to pick what phone to buy.
why not lumia 950??????
Maybe there is different versions of s7 camera, but on my European can't do any useful macro under 4 inches (10cm) , even on manual focus. Also it does over-process and blurs too much. I've had an LG G2 and that thing is a king for macro detail shot. I do many electronic repairs and it's like a microscope! I wonder how G5 comperes.
No lumia ? :|
juan of the rings what abt a display test ? dedicated display with all geek goodies like subpixel arrangement colour , dynamic contrast etc. Now would that not be good to "look" at !
THat sounds like a good idea to me!
how about a Panasonic CM1
You should try to do some real camera reviews of some past year or more phones to compare the improvement or lacks of this year phones, phones like lumia 950 xl, LG G4, LG V10, Lumia 1520/930 for example.
Too labor intensive for us to backtrack, but if you check out my old channel you can find the V10, G4, Lumia 950 and 930.
+JuanBagnell I'll do that thanks for The tip
Greate job!! please make a camera comparison video between OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 2.
Why didn't you include Xperia X ?
We're waiting for an X Performance before we put Sony up against top phones. We want the fight to be somewhat fair.
JuanBagnell ok waiting for the video
Does Juan do anything outside of camera stuff? Gimme a break fam.
Nexus 6p?
Smartphone Awards (my opinion)
-
LG G5 - "Best innovative phone"
HTC 10 - "Best comeback of the year"
Samsung Galaxy S7 - "Smartphone of the year"
I think you could make a real camera review of the Moto G4 Plus to see where stands in comparison with the other flagships, not because it's a flagship phone, but because it's the most successful product of Motorola and one of the most sold in Latin America and other emerging markets.
soooooo excited for LG v20 or whatever. I have g5 right now.
WANT SO BAD! LG killed it last year. Hope they follow it up!
The JuanPlus 3
"85% of the camera for 60% of the price."
Juan, I think you nailed the entire OP3's camera in one sentence.
LOL! I was proud of me for that one :-)
you should do a headphone review with the level u pro or the level on pro
I might tackle more of that, I have a few on my old channel, but I don't know if it's really something Pocketnow wants to tackle right now.
How many of these phones have Camera2 API support? :P
the s7 has a great cam, but to be honest i dont like this extrem saturation and the oversharpening. the htc 10 is maybe not the best in auto, but the overall package with this big sensor and a wide
aperture CAN produce some great pictures. and i really want to know how good the raw images are in comparison
RAW to RAW it's a pretty close fight. I don't think I'd be inclined to declare an outright winner between the tow based solely on the RAW photos.
zte axon 7 pls
REALLY want to see what that phone can do...
I'd like to see a 6S Plus also in this test... Video wise it may still be the one to look for
I think it was included in the last summary of smartphone cameras not so long ago...
Panagiotis Adamopoulos Whaaaat?
Panagiotis Adamopoulos haha np
