Samsung Galaxy S8 vs. LG G6: Find Out the Key Differences Between The Two Highly Anticipated Smartphones

Both Samsung and LG have introduced their new smartphones for 2017 with the S8 and S8 Plus from Samsung, while LG has unveiled the LG G6. Both these smartphones are better in their own segment while Samsung has a slight advantage due to the exclusivity of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor while the LG G6 comes with its predecessor, the Snapdragon 821 chip. With that said, LG is also planning to make a comeback and maintain their stability in the market after their G5 modular smartphone flopped in its sales.

Beginning with Samsung, the two new Galaxy S8 smartphones have already gathered a lot of hype with its release date of Apr. 21 nearing very soon. Samsung too like LG, are planning to maintain their stronghold of dominating the Android smartphone market, especially since their Note 7 was hugely disappointing due to its battery issues. Going into details with a review from Pocket-lint, Samsung primarily benefits in their display segment alongside the processor with a completely restructured phone body completely being blank in the front.

Samsung's 'infinity edge' displays come at a resolution of 2960x1440p in a very odd but acceptable ratio. The LG G6, on the other hand, has a similar resolution of 2880x1440 what they term as 'Full Vision' per reports from Trusted Reviews.

However, the LG G6 lacks its own AI assistant with only Google Assistant present on the phone while Samsung has a dedicated Bixby assistant on the Galaxy S8 that more or less performs similarly to Google assistant. With a long, sleek and thin-bezel smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy S8, however, falls short in its camera segment as per previous reports.

There's no camera bump on the unibody designed G6, which is now IP68 water resistant. Meanwhile, the fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S8 is moved to the back just next to the camera bump which people should find it a bit uncomfortable at first.  While both Snapdragon processors in question are manufactured on the same 10nm process, the 835 partly due to its age should overall fare better than the Snapdragon 821, if not by a huge margin.
