LG Velvet features a much better camera than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 30 fps video frame rates, the LG Velvet also has a larger sensor, a bigger diafragm aperture to capture better low light photography and a camera in the back with way more MP.
The LG Velvet is not only the best phones between the ones we are comparing, but it's also a bargain compared to others, which makes it an easy decision.
