As we get to the end of the year, some review publications are starting to highlight some devices that they weren't able to get to upon release. Many have been waiting for DxOMark to review the dual camera system of the LG V20, and yesterday that review was officially published. The device earned a respectable overall score of an 85, which puts it right alongside the Huawei Mate 9 in their eyes.
DxOMark felt the sensors preserved a good amount of detail when the subject was in very bright light. They saw good noise reduction in low-light environments, and the autofocus was fast and generally accurate when they tested it. However, they found some irregularities with the focus, there was a slight pink colorcast when outside, and some highlights were overexposed in high-contrast scenes.
During the review, DxOMark felt the camera's video performance is where the LG V20 is weak. They gave its video performance an overall score of 82 as they saw some motion blur even all lighting conditions. There were slight autofocus oscillations visible in the preview, there was a visible focus drop during tracking, and limited dynamic range when shooting video in bright light. They did say it had good target exposure though, and appreciated the noise reduction in bright light and again they felt it preserved detail in bright light situations.
Overall, DxOMark was impressed with the camera of the LG V20, but felt a little let down since they ranked the LG G5 right above it with an overall score of an 86. If LG had just focused more on the video performance of the camera, then it would have received a higher score.
