I generally shrug off their methods of scoring but this is pretty spot on about the V20 actually. Good overall representation of what the phone does well and doesn't do well. I love the camera experience on the V20.

Solid score; everything in that 83 and higher range is usually pretty awesome.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

That's a good review. Thx.

Smartphone cameras are so close together it just becomes preference at this point. I think the manual controls give the v20 a big step up over the competition. The review was pretty spot on though.

Why are picture so grainy when I zoom in? How is this good? I almost feel like the V10 was better. Should I play with the RAW files?

Yeah man, I got the same problem. Especially when using auto mode. Grainy as hell sometimes. I know there was an update to improve the camera but I haven't received it yet.
I've got software version V10b-TWN-XX

Can you guys upload something and show us?

Sometimes it might be LGs optimization (sometimes very wack).. It's been like that on all the recent LG phones I've had.

I read that this was the case of the final release because the prerelease versions were said not to have this effect.

What software version are you running?

Did the app update on its own or did you manually do it and did they detail what was supposed to be improved?

No updates available.

I had that version until the last few days and no grainy issues.. Hmm.

Are you using auto mode with HDR auto or HDR on?

 

[vasekvi]

5.30.61.2 here on AT&T

 

[DamianP]

I've been using manual mode more. Auto mode seems to crank up the ISO(and noise)

No idea why it's rotated the wrong way, sorry.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

Are you using auto mode with HDR auto or HDR on?

I do a little of everything.. Mostly when I use auto, HDR is always on.

It is often easier and more practical to leave it on, however HDR is not always necessary and has some drawbacks.

Yup.. Very true. It really depends on the shot and the scene.. But as a rule of thumb, I leave it on.
