this is the g7 thank you what LG defines as the smarter phone this is the Galaxy S nine what Samsung calls as the camera reimagined I can't deny how much of a heart comparison this is by specs and dimensions alone the g7 would be most fit to be compared against the Galaxy S nine but because of its two cameras and there being no g7 plus it also fits a middle ground to be compared against the galaxy as nine plus I guess the best solution here is to compare the g7 against a little of each I'm he might leave it out with pocket now and this is LG G 7 vs samsung galaxy s3 if this were a beauty contest I'd have a really hard time declaring the winner both devices are made of beautiful glass and aluminum with the s9 being curvier in its design the g7 is actually five millimeters taller three millimeters wider and less than a millimeter thicker but the galaxy turns out to be one gram heavier overall both phones are smudge magnets no matter how hard you try to keep them clean with the coral blue Galaxy S nine doing a better job at hiding it still I will admit I do love the tentative blue of the Aurora black on this g7 as you see it from an angle internally their specs are nearly the same we have a brand-new kwaka snapdragon 845 on each four gigs of ram 64 gigs of storage expandable ip68 water and dust resistance a 3000 milliamp hour battery and about the only difference is that Samsung is the only one that we know of that supports faster wireless charging while the g7 is one of the few that supports milspec a 10 G out of the box for drop resistance in the battle between displays the Galaxy has nine wins but by a very short margin at five point eight inches diagonal I admire Samson for not adopting the knotch and for providing one of the most beautiful displays of 2018 thing is if you haven't seen the 6.1 inch LCD on the g7 I suggest you do the deal RGB W pixel configuration makes this display crazy vibrant and beautiful really where the s9 wins is that this whole tall display approach makes sense more on OLED technology the black bar is around sixteen by nine video aren't really visible on the galaxy s 9 the g7 does an amazing job at offering very deep blacks but sadly not black enough constant consumption is an interesting comparison where LG wins the galaxy s 9 has dual stereo speakers a headphone jack tuned by AKG and even brings some great headphones in the box the g7 doesn't bring dual firing speakers but the boombox speaker is not just loud see it uses the body of the phone to create a resonance chamber so if you place it on a table it is significantly louder I mean miles louder to tell them apart at least for the couple of hours that we had to test them even if you block the single firing speaker the remaining audio generated by the body sounds better than if you cover the s9s bottom speaker it is also one of the few phones with a quad tach on the headphone jack the only problem is you will need a good pair of headphones to power that and they weren't supplied in the box at least from a hardware perspective I seriously have to call this one a tie now in the software Department if I could flaunt both phones I would I mean seriously it's not that I have a problem with their proprietary services but I do with their sluggish adoption of software updates both devices launched with Android 8 at a time when version 8.1 is already in the market for even Huawei phones but ok I find the galaxy visual aesthetic more pleasing with a denser grid of icons and more useful features with things like edge shortcuts the things I like about the g7 are little things like being able to add more navigation buttons at the bottom and speaking of buttons I praised LG for bringing an AI button that doesn't reinvent the wheel it launches the Google assistant in that sit and sure I've praised Bixby it is a really good assistant but the Google assistant is still a more complete offering and I praised LG for embracing it the topic of the notch is interesting because I wouldn't mind that of LG did a good job with the implementation as it stands third-party apps like Spotify leave a huge gap at the bottom of the app and this is even if you hide the notch with a secondary screen which are things you just don't deal with on the galaxy I've been using the smaller galaxy as an ion for about a few weeks prior to the g7 both on the t-mobile network phone calls are loud and crisp on each device and using the speaker on calls is just as reliable now even with the four gigs of RAM on each and very little ram to spare I can't really say that I complain about how either phone performs their launchers are fluid and you can play graphics intensive games just fine on either phone in the battery life Department here's the thing I mean the galaxy s 9 is no slouch but the g7 wins this one I did a small little experiment where I left both phones untouched on the table but they're always on displays active both with some apps and services running on the background and the g7 remained at 100% for about an hour while the galaxy s 9 was already scratching 95 percent yeah that's a big difference now let's be honest the most important topic of all of these comparisons is the cameras and this is where I'll bring the Galaxy S 9 plus for the comparison spec wise the s 9 plus has less megapixels on the primary sensor but larger microns and variable aperture though the g7 dis cutted very close on the aperture fight the results made picking only one of these devices very tough and here's why for color accuracy in detail my pick would be the galaxy s 9 or s 9 plus some even complain about Samsung being oversaturated but LG takes the take in that department I'm not saying that photos are bad on the g7 on the contrary but it'll be harder to filter LG photos on Instagram without having color clipping because of the over saturation and sure LG brings a ton of AI options and I love that this is a toggle you can either switch on or off but I would say that the galaxy's camera adapts better to most situations now as for the secondary lens this is where LG wins in a city like New York the wide-angle camera is far more useful it allows you to capture more of the city in one shot without having to move back and forth I will admit that I rarely use samsung's telephoto and I find LG's portrait shots to be more accurate in the calculation of background blur and s4 video this is an easy win for Samsung sure you can capture more with the wide angle on the g7 but the Galaxy can record 4k at 60 frames per second and also brings super slo-mo video things that the g7 can't really do overall declaring a winner in this comparison is tough I'm a huge fan of things like the wide-angle camera on the g7 aquatic the boombox speaker I'd even say that I love the display even if it's LCD and has a notch and I also do have to praise the better battery life on the g7 thing is if I had to pick only one phone as my final option ooh I would go for the galaxy s 9 C it feels like a more refined product and I think that's the result of four generations of iteration and improvement the g7 by contrast even if a refinement from previous generations feels like more of an experiment I mean for all the talk of AI I can't really say that I saw anything that truly expresses it still both of these devices are great phones and I'd recommend either one is a good buy let us know in the comments which one would you pick overall folks just like this we've gotten more comparisons in the pipeline make sure you follow us on social
