The LG V30S ThinQ takes a little bit better videos and photos than Google Nexus 5X, because although it has a way tinier sensor capturing much worse quality videos and photographs, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the LG V30S ThinQ also counts with a camera with lot more megapixels and a larger aperture to capture better low light photography and video.
