Photo Filters – Part 2 – LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Android, Tech News, ,

Yesterday I posted an article challenging does the quality matter if you use a photo filter. I was asked to show the 2 photos and how both phones photos looked after applying the same filter with each.

First up from the LG G4, processed in Photoshop Express using the Autumn filter.

And next scene processed with same filter but using the S6 Edge.

Ok, lets use Snapseed, HDRscape filter on both. LG G4 first.

So which do you prefer, and does it matter?

Photo filters – Do they make a difference? LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Below are 2 photos of the same scene, taken with 2 different phones. First shot is taken with the LG G4.

The same scene but taken using the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Now the original shots from each show were superb. I’ll be honest, the G4 snapped a better shot, however the difference was so marginal with this particular scene. If you owned either phone you would have been really happy with your photo.

But does the quality matter if you apply a filter. For this test I have used 2 different photo apps to make the comparison deliberately harder. The first shot taken with the G4 was edited in Snapseed using the HDRscape filter. The second shot taken with the S6 Edge was edited in Adobe Photoshop Express using the Autumn filter.

So which shot do you prefer? And does the quality really matter now?

Below is the original from the G4.

And now the original from the S6 Edge.

Has your preference changed?
