Question

Wide angle camera (similar to GoPro)

Apr 9, 2018 10:06AM PDT

Dear all,

please advise, if there's any mobile phone with camera, which wide angle is similar to GoPro photos?

I found LG G6 & V30 with pretty wide angle camera.
But is there more phones with similar specs?

Thank you and enjoy.

Good question.

I rarely see the phone cameras listed with comparisons to GoPro. But first I will give a nod to the Yi camera noted at https://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/gopro-generation-the-ultimate-guide-to-action-cameras-1274790

Why? I picked up their car cam and the WiFi feature is a good upgrade there.

Anyhow I don't see a lot of smartphones that are wide angle tricksters.

I already saw this article ... but is there any other brand, phone with wide lens? Maybe Huawei P20 Pro, or Samsung S9+, Pixel 2 or iPhone?
