In this another article of our Camera Blind Test series, the LG V10 is once again compared side-by-side with another Windows-powered device. Previously pitted against the Lumia 950 XL, we now take a look at how its 16-megapixel camera with OIS and laser autofocus fares against the 41-megapixel-touting Lumia 1020.
Just like before, sample photos will be labeled with A or B so you won’t know which device took which picture. We will be revealing the results next week after tallying all your votes.

So which one was which?
B looks best (for the most part)
Camera of Nokia 1020 was compared before to high resolution DSLR cameras. No other camera phone was compared to the beastly DSLR’s. With the comparison above, there are some points which should be considered, aside from using its own native camera app.
First, Nokia 1020 was released 2013. LG V10, 2015. A two year difference spells a new and more advanced camera technology. The N1020 can shoot 1080p only while V10 can shoot 2160p, one of V10’s advantages. Its native camera app is more tuned in than the camera app of N1020 2013 phone version.
Second. A more suitable comparison between the two is to put down both phones to the sizes of 16:9 at 5MP resolution (same progressive scanning).
In comparing phone cameras, both must be of the same settings to give both phones fair chances.
Correct!
