Blind camera comparison results: iPhone X vs Galaxy Note 8 vs LG V30

Last week, we asked you which phone has the best camera and gave you 10 photos shot on three of the best phones out there: the iPhone X, the Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30.

But we did not tell you which phone took which photo: to avoid bias, we did a blind shoot-out between the three, so that you can vote for the picture you like best without taking into account brand preferences.

Let's judge photos by their quality, not the camera brand

Conclusion

Summing up the results, one thing is clear: the LG V30 got the least votes and its photos definitely do not look as good as those from the iPhone or the Galaxy. The V30 only won the vote for 1 out of 10 scenes and was a close runner-up in scene 6.

The iPhone X and the Galaxy Note 8 cameras had much more comparable and much better results. The iPhone won scenes 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10, so it got 6 out of 10, and emerged as the winner.

The Galaxy Note 8 was the runner-up, winning scenes 2, 6 and 7.
