Samsung Galaxy A50 and LG G8X ThinQ feature extremely similar cameras, because although the LG G8X ThinQ has a lot less MP resolution back-facing camera and a tinier diafragm aperture which is not favorable for shooting pictures and video in low-light environments, it also counts with a larger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a much better 3840x2160 (4K) video quality.
