what's up price five fans I'm Brian Punk and this is the price fight between the two Korean kings of Android phones it's a prize fight watch out between the LG g3 and the Samsung Galaxy s5 our judges for this fight are senior editor Jessica the people's doll court associate editor Lynn ooh la la la and you know who really a ding dong will take all three judges scores and average them out to nearest tenth each round the final prize fight score will be an average of all rounds using the same system let's get it started round 1 is design the LG g3 may not be metal but this is as minimalist as you're going to get with a brushed aluminum look it's 5.5 inch quad HD screen is begging you to make out with it's insane 538 pixels per inch and the smartest thing about this phone no power buttons on the side or the face of the phone your index finger naturally falls into place here on the backside for the power volume and camera shutter control now I normally complain about big screen phones but this is a well-thought-out one and one of the most unique designs we've seen for phone this size now the galaxy s5 looks pretty similar to the s4 sporting a 5.1 inch screen with a 432 pixel per inch density you won't really be able to tell on their own but side-by-side LG's g3 screen has a slightly sharper look now the s5 still has a plastic feel with its dimpled backside and it's lighter in weight but Samsung played it safe instead of pushing for a fresher look the g3 impressed us with a 5 and the galaxy s5 gets a 4 next round is user interface both phones run Android 4.4 and bring their own unique feel to it LG brings their user interface with a snappy flat design approach that's arguably the cleanest third-party Android skin out right now you'll have to jump into the settings to see all of your options and brings the same Android customization for apps widgets and home screens that you've come to expect and this really cool adjustable keyboard now Samsung's TouchWiz interface has made an effort to clean things up a whole lot but a phone that can almost do everything still has trouble keeping things simple UI is super customizable jumping into a settings list about twice as long as not necessarily a bad thing there's just so much to do that most people will only scratch the surface this one typically comes down to personal preference but our judges give the LG g3 a 4.7 and Samsung gets a 4 so after averaging two rounds LG leads big 4.9 2 for next round his features both bones offer 16 to 32 gigs of storage removable batteries and a micro SD card slot that supports up to 128 gigs of additional space LG brings a quad-core 2.5 gigahertz Snapdragon processor and really one of the best screens on the market today that can't be understated double tapping to turn your screen on and off is one of the best features on the phone that adds up over time it also brings LG health for tracking your steps taken and calories burned we talked about its killer rear controls and we'll get into it's laser guided camera yes lasers now Samsung's Galaxy s5 also brings a quad-core 2.5 gigahertz processor but stands alone as the most feature packed phone on planet earth the s5 can track your steps but it also brings non-essential features like the heart rate monitor it's the first ever on a phone but it works really well and it's s health app is legit there's a fingerprint scanner for security that still needs some more multi window mode is a Samsung classic and they were the first to bring motion gestures long before LG added their own plus the s5 has a super fast charging mode if you use their charger cable and do we mention that it's water-resistant a quick drop in the sink is no longer deadly now this one's no contest the s5 gets a perfect 5 and the g3 gets a 4.7 next round is web browsing and multimedia web browsing on both of these displays is a treat with our large screens on both screens handle gaming Google Play apps and HD quality movies just fine but let's be honest bigger is better when you're watching media LG brings our 13 megapixel camera that shoots 4k video with optical image stabilization and a laser-guided autofocus that allows it to lock onto subjects and take a picture quickly using lasers is trimmed down his picture modes but you can click on areas of a picture to bring them into focus after the pictures have been taken now their selfie cam allows you to control it by opening your hand and then closing it to start an automatic countdown now the s5 brings a 16 megapixel camera that also shoots 4k video and brings plenty of filters and features galore that don't necessarily make it the simplest interface but when you compare these two cameras side-by-side the g3 takes good low-light shots and has a better flash while the s5 takes pictures that have an extra level of vibrancy and richer looking overall images bolder screen or better pictures you might disagree but we're giving the edge to Samsung based on its camera performance since our phones have really become our primary cameras the s5 takes this round with the 5 and the g3 gets a 4.7 so after averaging 4 rounds the s5 has closed the gap and the final round that decides it all both phones are snappy performers but in the 3dmark unlimited test that tests graphics performance the galaxy s5 came out on top quite definitively now when it came down to seeing its battery video drain test the LG g3 lasted 11 hours and 24 minutes compared to the galaxy s5 that squeezed out 15 hours and 18 minutes of juice and that's a huge difference the s5 gets a perfect 5 one more time and the LG g3 gets a 4.3 so let's average out all 5 rounds and LG took a strong lead early then Samsung clawed its way back in the final three rounds but it just wasn't enough and the LG g3 takes this slobberknocker four point seven to four point six and is your prize prize with these phones are without a doubt to the best Android has to offer and the battle for prizefight supremacy rages on i'm brian tongues thanks for watching I will catch you guys next time for another prize fight well you
