LG Velvet, Night mode. This is an OK photo, but nothing is sharp, and the colors are muted.

LG Velvet, main camera. I love this shot of the setting sun's light hitting this cheesy burger. There's good detail, and I love the colors.

LG Velvet, main camera. The flower was a little more colorful than this photo implies, but I like the detail here. You can see all the pollen the bee collected\!

LG Velvet, Night mode. Compare this shot to the following one from the Pixel 4A. The cone is well-detailed here, but everything around it is eclipsed in darkness.

Pixel 4A, Night Sight mode. The $350 Pixel manages to snap a detailed picture of the cone, but it also lights up the area around it.

LG Velvet, main camera. The natural blur effect from this camera is pretty good\! This photo is a bit dim, but it looks sharp.

LG Velvet, main camera. The sky is overexposed here, and you'll see some chromatic aberration on the top right side of the image.

LG Velvet, 48-MP mode. This mode uses the sensor's full 48 megapixels to capture a higher-resolution photo with more detail.

LG Velvet, Night mode. Compare this photo with the following one. Everything looks very muddy, especially the church.

Pixel 4A, Night Sight mode. Compared to the previous photo, it's almost like putting on eyeglasses for the first time. Detail is so much more clear and sharp in the Pixel's photo, and the colors pop more as well.

LG Velvet, Portrait mode. LG's portrait mode isn't perfect, but the results are shareable. I like the colors and detail here.

LG Velvet, ultrawide camera. Ultrawide cameras are nice to have, to take in more of a scene. It's just a shame this one doesn't perform as well in low light. Look toward the bottom half and you'll see how grainy the parked cars and shops look.

LG Velvet, selfie camera. My dog is a bit overexposed here, but the rest of this selfie has nice colors, and it's sharp\!

LG Velvet, 2X zoom. Pressing the “2X” button in the camera app will just use digital zoom to get closer to a subject. The results usually look over-sharpened.
