Samsung galaxy s8 vs lg g6, comparative: we face the best android terminals

Galaxy S8 vs LG G6 Which one is better for you?

Design and water resistance

In terms of design, the LG G6 has an impressive 5.7-inch Quad HD screen (2880 x 1440 pixel resolution) with an unusual 18: 9 aspect ratio, compared to the standard 16: 9 format. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S8 has an 18.5: 9 aspect ratio that allows the device to house a 5.8-inch curved screen and Quad HD + resolution (2960 x 1440 pixels).

On the other hand, both devices have water resistance (IP68 certification), both have headphone connectors and USB-C ports with fast charging. The new LG G6 abandoned the LG G5's modular design precisely to become waterproof, so its battery is no longer interchangeable.

Cameras

Camera of the LG G6 vs Galaxy S8 As for the cameras, the LG G6 has a dual 13-megapixel rear camera, one of which has a 125-degree wide-angle lens. Up front, the G6 incorporates a 5-megapixel selfie camera with a slightly narrower viewing angle of 100 degrees.

In the Galaxy S8 we find a 12 megapixel camera with F / 1.7 aperture, optical image stabilization and the same Dual-Pixel autofocus mechanism found in the Galaxy S7 models.

On the front of the S8 there is an 8 megapixel camera with F / 1.7 aperture and iris scanner + facial recognition technology.

Hardware

The highlight in relation to the hardware is that the LG G6 could not arrive with the new Snapdragon 835 processor due to lack of time, so the smartphone had to bring the previous model, the Snapdragon 821. Likewise, the LG G6 also sports an Adreno 530 GPU, 4GB of RAM, microSD support, a 32 / 64GB memory and a fingerprint scanner.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S8 has the new Snapdragon 835 processor or Exynos 8895 (international model), and is equipped with 4GB of RAM, the Adreno 540 graphics, microSD support and a standard 64GB memory.

Other differences are in its batteries, since the Galaxy S8 incorporates a 3000mAh battery, while the LG G6 brings a 3300mAh battery. In both cases there is support for fast charging.

Finally, highlight the presence of Bluetooth 5.0 on the Galaxy S8 compared to Bluetooth 4.2 on the LG G6. Otherwise, both terminals are quite similar.
