Worth upgrading to G6?

[hexen88]

Hey

I'm very into G6 design. Now have G4, and I'm very satisfied with pictures quality, my work depends on pictures (I'm tattooist). Just wanted to ask you guys - is it worth to upgrade to G6? Is this phone have better pictures than G4? Maybe someone have both of this phones, and can take some samples to compare?

Pls share your thoughts, thx

I don't think that anything out right now is worth the upgrade. The phone isn't significantly different in my opinion. No picture from the cell phones will beat a DSLR though, so if quality is what you want, that might be best anyway.

The G6 is hands down better than the G4. I hate to put the G4 down like that. Even the G5 was a upgrade from the G4

The dual camera on the G5 is amazing and I wouldn't expect less with the G6

@ianwardell I know DSLR is the best, but in my way carrying two is problem.

My G5 has way better pictures than the G4. So yes. Along with the G5 and G6 performance wise blows away the G4.

Go check out Flickr. I don't own the G6. They are loads of samples at flickr and just search LG G6.

G6 uses a really old sensor. It's from September 2015. Also nearly no Nougat for G4. Also V20 has bootloop issues, who tells me, that G6 will not have. Therefore I will change the phone. I compared Huawei P10 with my G4, it makes much better pictures. Therefore I will switch to Mate 9 or S8.

I would rather go for the G5. G5, G6 (better wide camera) is about the same. Main difference is about the design. G5 offers the best value.

 

[kessaras]

if you are going for camera quality, get galaxy s7 or the new s8. Tested 2 days ago and it really is amazing.

Never go for LG anymore, i rather buy an iPhone 7 than another LG smartphone.. The new Samsung S8 or Huawei P10 also is a good alternative..

G6 has IP68, G5 has not.

I will tell you one thing. Whatever it's G5 or G6 or even G8(exclusive leak!) it will *spoiler* bootloop on you I wouldn't consider it as it's basically worse version of Galaxy S8 with better camera, nothing else. LG ****ed everything again as aspect ratio is only used in stock apps while S8 can at least fit 16:9 on 18.5:9 which I find quite useful with such useless screens(who really needs that stupid aspect ratio? I won't buy phone with something else than 16:9)

I compared a G6 in the store to my G4 and the picture quality of the G6 was better especially if you like more of a color boost but the speaker of the G6 wasn't as good and that's my most used feature of my G4 it gets used way very more than the water proofing of my old Xperia Z3 and both LG G6 & Xperia Z3 phones loose sound in the speakers for 24 hours after being submerged in water.

G6 has no notification light, realized it a few days ago. For me it's important, maybe for you too.

 

[banesi]

it doesn't have IR port also, no remote control support anymore

it's a beautiful phone but functionality wise, you loose things and pay for it

Bootloop issue was fixed with the G5 and V20.

If you really want to compare cameras, do it here http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=4&idPhone1=6901&idPhone2=7815&idPhone3=8466. Click on different parts of the photo in the left and you will see that colors are actually better represented on G4, G6 has more detail on some parts of it, G5 is pretty similar to G4. The hardware is not that different on the cameras that are comparable (the ones with AutoFocus, no wide lens). A big difference is done in the postprocessing. G6 has Nougat, G4 has Marshmallow. Compare G5 with G6, both running Nougat. When all 3 will have Nougat, then somebody should do a test with all 3 of them in the same lab environment.

Regarding functionality, you get what you get. Some people complain about a missing IR blaster, but I rarely use it. I personally do not like the all glass design of the G6 and the fact that even in 2017 LG does not have a strong update plan. There were people saying that G5 is free from bootloop, but it is not, there are still some issues, although not as many as G4 had. Nobody can tell you that the G6 will be better supported than the G4 or if it is better. We are all pretty subjective when it comes to our opinions, no matter how hard we try, our opinion is formed from all our experience. I, for one, will not choose a LG tablet/smartphone because of the sporadic software update.

LG software update track record doesn't seemed good enough for me to continue.

Those low range phones and tablet from Samsung seemed to have even more update than what I received.

Android O is almost coming out. But g4 is still waiting for nougat. And has any LG phone been updated to 7.1?
