The LG V30 counts with a slightly better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has a tinier camera sensor capturing lower quality videos and pictures, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same video definition, the LG V30 also counts with a lot more megapixels camera in the back and a bigger camera aperture for better low light photos.

If you prefer to save some money, you can buy LG V30, and give up a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your budget.
