Huawei P9 vs LG G5 camera shootout: which mobile snapper is best?
The Huawei P9 possesses quite possibly the most innovative camera setup on the market.
Featuring dual 12MP cameras at the back, the Chinese company has certainly put the hype train in motion.
So when we went hands-on with the device, courtesy of local tech writer Brendon Petersen, we decided to pit it against our LG G5 review unit.
The LG G5 is no slouch either, packing a 16MP main camera and 8MP wide-angle camera on its back. We opted to only shoot with the 16MP camera.
As for shooting conditions, we opted against changing any settings or enabling HDR, merely shooting with the auto settings for an out-of-box experience.
And as for the results? Have a look at the gallery below, and be sure to let us know which you think is the winner.
Update: we’ve added an imgur gallery of full-resolution shots as well.
