LG V30S ThinQ takes just a bit better photos and videos than iPhone SE, because although it has a tinier sensor capturing lower quality videos and images, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the LG V30S ThinQ also counts with a lot bigger diafragm aperture and a lot better resolution back-facing camera.
LG V30S ThinQ has a superior storage capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than iPhone SE, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage capacity, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a SD card slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB.
