Design and dimensions
Both smart phones have nearly the same dimensions, with LG G4 being 148.9 x 76.1 x 6.3 – 9.8 mm and Samsung Galaxy S6 being 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm. Weighing 155g, LG G4 is a bit heavier than the S6.
The display of Samsung Galaxy S6 is 5.1’’, while LG G4 is 5.5’’ with both phones having the same resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixel. However, since S6 has smaller screen size, its pixel density is higher (577 ppi > 533 ppi). Both have Corning Gorilla Glass for protection, and Samsung has the updated version for its flagship. In these aspects, it seems Samsung wins as Galaxy S6 seems to have better features.
Power and performance
LG G4 has a Quad-core 1.44 GHz Cortex-A53 & dual-core 1.82 GHz Cortex-A57, while Samsung Galaxy S6 has a Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57. It seems Samsung has better power than LG G4. Moreover, as both have 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage (for the standard versions), Samsung wins over. However, if one considers having microSd support as an important feature, then LG G4 will win. S6 offers a variety of versions depending on internal storage though. Therefore, this is a tie between the two, with Samsung being the better choice.
Samsung Galaxy S6 vs LG G4 Camera
The cameras on both phones are 16MP with 4k video recording supported. Features such as laser autofocus, optical image stabilization, LED flash appear on both. However, LG G4 seems to have better shock proof and focus feature. S6 has many effects that can be integrated into the camera before shooting, while LG G4 has many manual modes which allows users to alter the speed of the shutter. Many camera tests shows that G4 produces more detailed photos. Additionally, the front camera of G4 is an 8MP one, while Samsung is just a 5Mp one. LG G4 wins this round with its great camera. It really deserves the top position for camera within the list of recent flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S6 vs LG G4 Battery
The battery of LG G4 is 3000mAh removable, while S6’s is 2600mAh and non-removable. It seems like a tie again between the two. G4 has more endurance, but the non-removable battery means a tougher phone. However, the cons of the non-removable battery seems to outweight its pros, that’s why LG G4 wins again this round.
In conclusion
LG G4 beats Samsung Galaxy S6 in camera, while Samsung Galaxy S6 wins for its performance. However, the brand names can also make a lot of different. It seems that LG does not do well with G4 ever since its release according to the news, however good it is. PricePony’s readers, how about your choice? Will it be LG G4 for better camera and battery, or Samsung Galaxy S6 for better performance?
