The LG Velvet has a better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note9, because although it has worse 30 fps video frame rate and a tinier camera aperture which is not good for shooting photographs or videos in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution, the LG Velvet also counts with a way better resolution camera in the back and a lot bigger camera sensor capturing much higher quality pictures.
Despite of being the best phone of the ones we are comparing, LG Velvet is also very cheap compared to the other phones.
