I've already discussed the LG X Screen's (claimed) selfie prowess, but it's reasonably well equipped when it comes to the rear camera too.
It's a 13MP unit with an f/2.2 aperture lens that's capable of taking reasonable, if not great, shots.
The pictures I grabbed during my time with the handset tended to be fairly balanced on the color front and filled with decent detail. However, they also suffered from that classic cheap camera issue - dynamic range.
There's no HDR mode here, and it shows. A simple shot of some white flowers on a sunny day resulted in an unnaturally radiant effect, whilst I found skies to be either completely overblown or - on a particularly muggy-but-bright day - unnaturally dim.
LG has also utilized the X Screen's second screen in the camera UI, but it's not particularly useful. Rather, it offers a simple choice between the two base modes of Auto and Simple. These could easily have been featured on the main display without any real disruption.
All in all, the camera package on the LG X Screen is just okay. It can't be said that it punches above its weight, but it's capable of capturing some well-balanced shots if the conditions are right.
