hey what is up guys on TV HD here and the Samsung Galaxy s8 is everywhere and it makes sense because not only does Samsung have a massive marketing budget to put this thing in front of your eyes but it also happens to be a really great phone so makes sense but that makes it so easy to overlook LG g6 which is another fantastic phone it's actually LG's best phone ever it's kind of like the James Harden regular-season when Russell Westbrook just had like such a high-profile MVP caliber regular-season you did know that I thought I would get analogy well Golf has never been my sport Marquez but you're right the Galaxy s8 is a tremendous smartphone but smartphones are very personal things and for some people the LG G 6 might be even better this is true so let's get to it I'm mister mobile and this is LG G 6 vs galaxy s 8 so these are actually very similar phones both flagship spoke top-of-the-line Ford's offered by the respective manufacturers but right off the bat there have been some differences that can have a really significant effect on the user experience and it's all these things put together that have me leaning between these two towards the Galaxy s8 first of all the s8 has a better display in fact it is the best display on any smartphone which is huge it's an OLED so colors and contrast not only pop more but have a wider available range it's brighter and more visible outdoors and it has even slightly higher resolution coming in at a slightly taller aspect ratio than the g6 now let's not to say the g6 is display is bad by any means but nothing quite compares to the edge to edge curved glass display on a Galaxy s8 right now it's in a class of its own at this point in a year and that gives it this immersion factor it's often better for watching videos playing games etc because it lets you completely ignore the edges and just watch the content the black g6 is definitely not as bad with this but obviously it doesn't quite melt over the same way and reflections while they are a pain in the butt to ignore on video like this they don't feel nearly as bad in real life so there's that display advantage but then I just give the general industrial design and aesthetic award to the Galaxy s8 it is a much more sleek polished feel than a slightly more industrial looking g6 and again g6 doesn't look bad at all but put them side-by-side and the g6 kind of looks more like a rough-draft while the s8 looks like a final copy the rounded edges and nearly seamless connection between the glass and the front and back and the metal sides makes it feel like you're holding a smooth stone type of thing while the g6 feels like a traditional phone type of thing that rhymed but overall I give the aesthetic advantage to the Galaxy s8 and then there's just the specs on paper so I did say they're both flagships but again when you see the higher resolution display when you see the Snapdragon 835 versus Snapdragon 820 one you kinda have to give the edge to the s8 again in this category and then just from using it for a while you notice a lot of little things I prefer the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone galaxy f8 does that for me I prefer no carrier branding anywhere on the back of any model Galaxy s8 does that too and the GS 8 is just the tiniest bit narrower and light g6o the screen to body ratio is just that tiny bit better it helps and there's just a couple more features packed into the software stuff like the iris scanner and the first ever front-facing camera with autofocus but even with all these things there are still reasons to consider getting a g6 for your own personal use over a Galaxy s8 so for those reasons this is Michael Fisher for mr. mobile thanks man can I get some music real quick thank you so all your points on the s8 are well taken Marcus but the LT g6 has two huge wins over the SA I think and a few smaller ones too the first big one is projected durability the g6 is a chunkier phone than the SI then easier to grip I think but if you do drop it the g6 is also more likely to take a hit gracefully at least on paper it's certified compliant with mil standard 810g and now that's not always as rugged as it sounds and manufacturers can game test results a bunch of ways but LG has been good enough to let everyone in on which lab it employed to test the g6 as well as which procedures it used for that testing the g6 past 14 separate tests including low temperature high temperature temperature shock humidity vibration solar radiation low pressure sand and dust immersion rain and my favorite salt fog now Samsung will probably release a Galaxy s8 active that meets the same criteria it's done so for the past four years but if it follows precedent it'll be exclusive to AT&T and also probably aesthetically challenged the regular s8 can be dunked in water like the g6 it meets the same IP standard but if it came down to which of these I'd rather take hiking on treacherous terrain or braving the salt fog fog of sirata for I'd take the g6 the other big reason I might choose lg / Samsung the camera not because the g6 always out shoots the s8 each of these can take some wonderful photos but because the g6 lets me double up that extra camera on the LG is more than mere adornment it packs a 125 degree lens that lets you capture much more of a scene without dealing with a clumsy panorama obviously this kind of dramatic framing isn't always what you want and that's why the standard shooter is there as well between the primary and wide-angle cameras the g6 can capture photos and video the s8 just can't a couple less things before I throw it back to you Marcus well the g6 is display doesn't have the saturation or contrast of the s8 the fact that it's an LCD means it may be less susceptible to burn in than Samsung's AMOLED also the g6 totally wins on buttons no half functional Bixby key to get confused with the volume rocker and yes the g6 is fingerprint sensor is way easier to feel out than the SAS organ ammonite mer okay let's kill the music thank you back to you sir so at the end of the day it turns out surprise surprise these are both really good smartphones in their own respective ways and you might have been swayed by looking at the comments section maybe people saying oh the Galaxy S eights way better or the G 6 wipes the floor with the s8 its underrated neither of those is completely true these are both really good options so that being said that puts it entirely in your hands to pick which one of these you'd spend your money on it's your call so that is it thank you for watching and of course thanks to mr. mobile for his contribution to this video you can see his channel right here he does a whole bunch of mobile related videos that are fantastic and again if you have any comments or questions feel free to leave them below I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
