Selfie pic celebrating the wife's new job! I absolutely LOVE the cameras on this thing! (I would REALLY like to know why AC keeps rotating the selfies...)

Pixel 2 XL
Here are some side by side comparisons of the V30 and Pixel, both shot in full auto with auto HDR. You can scroll left to right to see both photos of the same compositions - V30 on left, Pixel 2 XL on right.
You can see the Pixel consistently outperforms the V30 in full auto. But I am surprised by how close it is, as one can easily get he V30s shots processed to be even closer by processing raw (a slight uptick in contrast and mid tones would do wonders) instead of letting LG/auto do the processing. Case in point: Check the very last link where I post processed the V30s photo manually and see how it compares to the Pixel (more favorably than when left in full auto)
As is, when photos are viewed on the phone, the V30 holds its own quite well going against the class leader, considering it has a whole another dimension to its photography with its wide angle lens which isn't covered here.

V30's photo is post processed manually and MUCH nicer and compares well with Pixel:

HahahaI can imaging Google's AI thinking "hmmm...here's a portrait of my own guts. Yucky!"
