The LG G5 has a lot better camera than Galaxy A70, because although it has a smaller aperture which is worse for low light photos and videos, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same 30 fps video frame rates, the LG G5 also counts with a bigger sensor shooting higher quality photos.
