Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus vs LG G6 Quick Look: Flagship Showdown!

2017-03-29
what's up guys lon here from Android Authority and with the s8 being officially announced and the g6 getting ready to hit store shelves we now see what both of these companies visions towards a bezel as future looks like but you're probably curious how these two stack up so let's find out what the Galaxy s8 versus the LG G six usually when comparing LG flagship to Samsung's they're radically pretty different in terms of design and features but this time around they actually share a lot of similarities and it all starts with the design you've got two phones that feature metal frames with glass bodies that are ip68 certified and they both feel incredible in the hand but the s8 definitely has a much sleeker appeal with its curved edge front and rear panels and rounded body there's not a single sharp edge on the SI at all whereas with the LG G six they've gone with more traditional flat sides and chamfered edges in terms of sheer size the s8 plus is significantly wider and taller than G six due to its massive 6.2 inch screen but it doesn't feel as big in the hand as you would expect you to the curved edge glass and practically non-existent bezels but if you're looking for a more comparable size to the g6 the regular s8 would be the way to go with its slightly smaller 5.8 inch screen with both Samsung and LG going with super thin bezels this really makes the screens on the g6 and s8 /si plus the star of the show and we're inching closer and closer to the reality of having purely a screen in the palm of our hands the g6 features a 5.7 inch LCD screen with quad HD resolution HDR support and an always-on display the 5.8 and 6.2 inch screens of the Si and si plus featured the typical AMOLED screens from Samsung that seemed to continually get better year in year out they also feature HDR support and always-on display and quad HD resolution but you're getting slightly more pixels on the long side of the display due to Samsung going with 18 and a half by 9 aspect ratio versus LG's 18 by 9 screen something that LG has been doing for as long as we can remember is the use of on-screen keys and this year Samsung has maybe switch in order to give way for these smaller bezels and more screen this means no more physical home button on the front and just like LG Samsung fingerprint sensor is now on the back but instead of being centered below the camera Samsung chose to put it next to the camera and it's just as awkward it looks so it's definitely going to take some getting used to or another option would be to use the Irish scanner to unlock the device instead although dual cameras is another smartphone trend that is starting to become more popular Samsung is sticking to their guns with a single 12 megapixel sensor at F 1.7 aperture and dual pixel autofocus while on the g6 you have two 13 megapixel sensors with one wide angle and telephoto lens they're both running Android nuga out of the box with their own respective skins but the real highlight on both of these phones is the AI assistant LG chose to incorporate Google assistant and while the SA and s 8 plus also have Google assistant it also comes with Samsung's own AI called Bixby and this wouldn't be a Samsung device if it didn't have software that competed directly with Google's I can do a lot of the same things as Google assistant but it's very heavily integrated into the s8 software like the camera web browser and other core functions to change the way you interact with your phone there's even a dedicated hardware key on the side to make the service even easier to get to the specs of the g6 are pretty well known at this point would be Snapdragon 820 1/4 gigabytes of ram a 3300 milliamp hour battery wireless charging and expandable storage over on the SI and s 8 plus you also have wireless charging and expandable storage with a 3,000 and 3,500 milliamp hour battery on the SI and that's 8 plus respectively aside from mentioning that the s8 will come with a 10 nanometer octa-core chipset Samsung was pretty hush on the processor during the making of this video but if history is any indication we most likely can expect the latest Snapdragon in the US and X notes for the rest of the world the g6 and si are shaping up to be two of the hottest phones of 2017 and it's going to be interesting to see how these two truly stack up when they're both widely available for more on samsung's new SAS 8 plus or even the LG g 6 keep it tuned here to the YouTube channel and Android thorny calm because we are your source for all things Android
