The Galaxy A51 captures better photos and videos than LG V30, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is worse for taking pictures and video in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Galaxy A51 also counts with a way better resolution camera in the back and a way bigger sensor shooting much better quality videos and pictures.
Despite of being the best phone of the ones we are comparing here, Samsung Galaxy A51 is also a bit cheaper, which makes it an easy choice.
