I did try to get replacement. But inside the well lit store the camera was performing good and those guys were not interested in comparing with my G4.Their claim was reasonable ,they said this phone performs like this, old model might be different. So actually this was my mistake. I was there to buy V20 ,then my wife felt V20 is very big and G6 is perfect for her hands .I didn't want to go back and do research again and bought G6 in a hurry.

What I think is, lack of details can be because of firmware or due to hardware incapability to process faster. My Fuji XE2 had similar issue in jpegs and due to uproar among fans they modified the firmware and resolved it to an extend.

Well if one company is not bothered about their flagship product in this cut throat mobile market I don't think they will read xda developer forums and take action to address customer grievances(I already send mail to LG and got reply that concerned department will contact you soon ,this is the third day and it seems no department is actually concerned )
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I actually came from the V20 to the G6 and the camera on the G6 might be slightly better if not the same.. The wide angle is definitely better.

Which version of the StockRom are you using? I am on 10F and have quite good focus.

Sent from my LG G6 (H870)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jetsetwilly:
I have to say, I agree with both points of view. Some shots I take are, not astounding, but really really good...and some are appalling. But the one consistent negative is the speed of focus. I'm waiting for the V30 but I find I'm always waiting for more.

If this had the S7 camera, an AMOLED screen and an unlocked bootloader, I don't think I'd ever get rid...

Edit
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Most reviews, threads and photos posted here show the camera to be above average, a link earlier in this thread showed a comparison between the S8, 5X and the G6 with the G6 doing very well.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] flyingswan23:
It's my brain or it's real, with today's update the low light photo water colour effect is reduced and picture quality is better than before. But low light focus and photo capturing is still slow.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] banesi:
True, G4 is having better camera than G6, it is not worth an upgrade if camera is main reason.

I think actually that G5 is the best all around phone you can get, especially SE version which is even cheaper, boitloader unlock officially supported also, great phone.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kiosk123:
G6 is better than G4, or G5. G5 is worser in photo than G6,G4. Look on Gsmarena http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=5&idPhone1=6901&idPhone2=7815&idPhone3=8466
[LG G6 Real Life Review] :
I completely agree with you. I have used phone like HTC 10 and One plus 5. Camera of V20 is better than HTC and Op5. G6 has slightly better camera compare to v20. So technically and logically speaking g6 has far better camera than previous G series phone. It is definitely huge upgrade over previous generations cause they were not as successful as G6.. You gotta see a bezeless phone in person to admire the beauty of it. I mean seriously you are getting a big screen phone in small form factor. What else you want. Infact g6 is giving tough competition to snapdragon 835 phone like s8 and op5 despite having a older CPU. G5 was a total disaster.

Since last update my LG G6 takes very grainy pictures.

Is there anyone who's having the same problem?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Yeah, I think that too, here's a photo I took today and I think I took better photos last week before updating:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ObiDanKenobi:
Since the last update there is a checkbox in the settings for noise reduction, the default value is Off. Check to see if you need to turn it on.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] egbie:
I dont see this option anywhere, could you place a screenshot? Thanks in forward!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] andmanweb:
I found that option only under manual mode. Do you have also in base mode? In base mode i have an option referring to video stabilization.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] ObiDanKenobi:
Indeed the option is under manual photo settings. I only use manual
[LG G6 Real Life Review] banesi:
Yeah, that G5 camera is really ****ed up, I wonder if they just took a bad photo, DxOMark gave G5 really high score.

There's hacked Google Camera here maybe worth trying but I really never found anything better than LG stock camera in the past.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] galr:
G5 camera was great, not sure what you complain about. The GPS and the screen retention sucked.

Man, I don't know... Prior to my current Honor 8, I have had the European LG V10 which was making really high quality pictures (besides of the crappy front cam). I'm considering to buy the G6 (EU version) because of the IP68 and the cameras on the back. But reading this thread and checking pictures on Flickr - which look often pretty washed out or blurred or painted - I'm really not sure. I read the review on dpreview which was quite good and have read some other test... but there seems to be a big discrepancy between the reviews and the real life pictures.

I don't wanna wait for the V30 since its too big and too expensive when compared to the current G6 price tag. But since I'm buying it because of the cam (don't wanna take my big cam all the time), this really is a hard decision, as it is like LG did completely messed up the post processing (and the front selfie cam).

Even on low ISO and low shutter, the quality is quite bad when I check the pictures on my 15 inch retina screen....

[LG G6 Real Life Review] faeArai:
I checked on flickr and checked in store. The front cam is really bad. Pictures made with rear cams are nice until you zoom in.... Than you can see that washed out details. That's why I'm asking as reviews are quite good...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kiosk123:
But first version of software had very bad camera quality...etc. very saturated colors, bad postprocessing...LG in May push new update that fix camera software and other things... maybe version of LG G6 software in store where you trying camera was from April or march...or outdated...

I ordered 870DS but i don't know if i should regret it or not. 380$. No unlock able - Ok. Seeing posts about camera issues? Is that true? Because if so, I will get doubts about the phone. (haven't received the device yet).
[LG G6 Real Life Review] galr:
Details are good. My only complaint is the post processing in Auto mode tok harsh IMO. You can always shoot on manual though. Anyway it's still great, and with the wide angle camera it is still my preference for the best smartphone at the moment (until V30 is out).
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nikaki:
And how do you know that V30 will be better in photography than G6?Only from rumours??
[LG G6 Real Life Review] galr:
f1.6, glass lens, laser focus. We'll have to wait to see which sensor is used but so far seems promising.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] faeArai:
Its not the sensor. They're mostly built by Sony. Problem is LG's postprocessing.

Anyone tried Lineage OS? But I guess this won't be of a big difference because of LGs binaries...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] UKseagull:
I've just got myself a G6 and I'm quite pleased with the macro feature. I edited the .dng with Snapseed (and a bit of IG). I'm quite pleased with the result.

I've tried the camera indoors, on Auto the images have a purple-ish hue when I open them on my PC.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
the latest firmware for the G6 (I just got 10t Open EU) has improved the camera processing a lot, before the update the processing was extremely harsh especially at higher iso's but after the update things have improved, much more natural look to photos, processing still there but way less.

great shots, glad to see that LG have tweaked the camera processing in the latest update (July patch), the processing was VERY heavy handed prior to the update, now things are much improved with photos having a more natural look than previously. That being said, if you want the best IQ then install the Google Cam port, the results are superb, very natural looking indeed with good detail etc.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] NaxoForum:
The most people say the quality is amazing but I can see the watercolor effect in almost all the photos, even with enough light. I can't see the definition. Mi Nexus 5X had more definition. Always in auto mode.

I see it, too. But it's only when you look and the LG processed JPEGs. If you take RAW or use a different camera like open camera, that this is gone.

few random shots when i was at Bangkok last week.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AM Radio:
hey everyone ... anyone notice that RAW pictures are terrible? took a few random shots tonight just after dusk, using both the standard and wide angle -- will find some time to post them later -- and in ALL cases, the jpg version with LG's post-processing was much, Much MUCH better than the RAW. i don't mean tone or contrast -- i mean specifically resolved detail vs. blurry smudges

i know, i know, this post is pretty pointless without examples. but for now:

- on the LG/jpg version: small lettering in overhead signage was clearly visible; on the DNG/RAW file: blurry

- on the LG/jpg version: overhead electrical wires were clean, distinct lines; on the DNG/RAW file: blurry

the quality is so dramatic, it's like i took the identical shot with two different cameras. so weird. and it's not like i could edit the RAW file in photoshop to bring out details, as the source itself is blurry or has blurry elements. no way the post-processing or photoshop could salvage a photo with such poor resolved detail.

will investigate more, and post photos ... just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Dlantz1225:
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.

This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.

Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?

Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

[LG G6 Real Life Review] coyot352:
This selfie is good, but the bokeh effect is software, I speak of use to take "basic" photos, the photos are average, a s8 is much better .. My Xiaomi mi4c (release in 2015, high-end low cost from china) was about the same quality, slightly thinner in the details .. the first time I tried the front camera of the G6 I was disappointed "what, that's all"
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
And that selfie was a crop!

I absolutely agree with you with regards to the stock LG camera app-- the selfies are awful. But the main problem appears to be LGs processing-- the skin color is unnatural, and the noise reduction and sharpening makes it appear as if you are wearing rouge LOL.

On the Gcam, with or without the portrait mode (software bokeh) the detail and color is excellent with HDR+ .

The HDR+ concept is really brilliant, almost miraculous. The software wizardry makes even mediocre cameras give good results. I remember with my Nexus 5, the camera was not that great, but suddenly the pictures got better without me knowing why, and it was because of the Google camera update when HDR+ was introduced.

So it turns out that the great photos that were being produced by the Pixel 2 were in large part due to software.
