iPhone X vs LG6

My LG6 seemed decent until my wife recently upgraded to an iPhone X.

For low light shooting hers is vastly superior.

If I've read the specs correctly, the ISO range on my camera is up to
3200 yet on hers the max ISO is 2000

I am sure there have been improvements in processing but before I am
forced to get a new phone, is there anything I can tweak to improve my
camera.

Thanks

See if you can get a slow shutter-speed app?

hopefully not that recent, since the x is last year's model and has
been discontinued, replaced by less expensive and more capable options.

no surprise there.

that's not a valid comparison since the sensors are different and the
isps (which is what really matters) are *completely* different.

not really.

if low light is your goal, the google pixel 3 with its night sight is
the way to go. on the other hand, if a better display, faster device
and compatibility with your wife's phone (share content, buy apps only
once, etc.) is the goal, then an iphone xr or xs is the way to go.

I don't know anything about Android phones; I use an iPhone X. However,
a friend and I took photos of the same scene in poor lighting. His
Android produced a distinctly better photo (more accurate color, less
noise) than my iPhone.

One instance proves nothing, but the Android was a clear winner in that
instance.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

especially when it's unknown *which* android phone out of the zillions
you're talking along with its settings, as well as the settings on your
iphone x.

if it's the google pixel 3 with night sight, then what you describe is
likely. otherwise, not so much.

And that's certainly true of the Google Pixel 3 which has some superb
camera post-processing facilities (very low light capability, adjustable
pokeh on portraits etc. etc.).

I did try another camera app.

Not much difference though. Thanks


I think, rather than spend money I'll just take my Nikon along if I need
to shoot in low light.

I compared shots again and though I think her results were better than
mine, considering how dark it was in there...mine did a good enough job.

I did say one which allowed longer exposures. The Google Pixel 3
equivalent takes multiple ~0.5s exposures with OIS, then aligns and
combines them.

One of my earlest tests:

and, no, I'm not claiming this replaces a bigger camera with a
wide-aperture lens!

that's not night sight.
