The LG G4 is the latest flagship Android phone to hit the market, sporting a 16 megapixel camera with a 1.8 aperture.

Although the camera is the primary feature being touted by LG, it also has a gorgeous 5.5 inch QHD display, excellent performance, and decent overall battery life.

The G4's camera supports almost full manual control over its camera with the exception of aperture settings. But it does allow for shutter manual shutter speed (including long exposures shots as long as 30 seconds) as well as ISO and focus.

Images can output in RAW (DNG format) for editing on Photoshop and other applications. The RAW images have a lot of noise on them that is filtered out with the phone's software, so they'll take a lot of work to get as nice as the JPEG versions.

The big let-down on the camera is the video quality. There's no stabilization even at 1080p, so moving images are going to be far inferior than what can be taken with an iPhone 6 or 5s.

But on balance this is an excellent Android phone that's up to the level of other competing flagship phones.
