LG G4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S6: Next door rivals

19 June 2015
Sometimes the biggest rivalries are between neighbors. The newest additions to clan LG and clan Samsung are from two different worlds – the organic LG G4 and the industrial Galaxy S6. One is curved with soft leather, the other is a cool glass and...

    Winner: LG G4. The higher resolution captures more detail, which is most important for quick selfies. There's also a hand gesture that lets you snap a selfie without reaching for the key.
    The Galaxy S6 can capture you and your friends (a groupie), especially with the Wide selfie mode.

    Samsung s6 also a hand gesture....

        I think it's sad that they make the average joe think that the G4 can replace an SLR, or at least that is the impression you have when reading those articles and watching the videos. I have access to a G4 and will compare directly the results to my SLR (450D, yes, 12MP, and 85mm f1.8 lens), body + lens combo cheaper than the G4, never mind the silly $2000-4000 tag of that pro grade SLR body and lens. Having seen the G4 samples and knowing exactly what my SLR system can do, I can tell you already that base ISO shots on the SLR are cleaner, even more so when you start pushing the ISO; and the bokeh quality from the 85mm f1.8 will demolish the G4 as will corner resolution as will depth of field. Don't get me wrong. The G4 has an awesome camera for a phone and I will get one. But will it replace my 450D, most certainly not!

          What a great comparison. I read the whole thing. Detailed but very readable. Of course, I'm still on the fence about which one to get. At least it sounds like there's no wrong choice. Many thanks-- excellent job.

                    [deleted post]Sorry. The S4 was objectively better in most ways. G2 was a little better in some battery parts and a bit in low light photos.

                            And nope, G2 wasn't just popular because of the heck of it. There was reason behind it. However, your incessant 'worship' of Samsung clearly undermines your coherence of thought. Ironically, it makes you a 'dumb fanboy' contrary to your assumption (conclusion).

                            And once again, no, S4 wasn't about bad software but slightly underperforming SoC against the much newer and better S801. The camera though was equally matched in certain areas.

                            Well, seems like your reasoning was way worse than 'midrange'.

                                        AnonD-409053, 22 Jun 2015LG made a foolish mistake by making LG G4 so huge by size .... moreTheir screen and camera was good new tech.
                                        Though you are right about how huge they made it. And actually the G3 was no better because it grew in height and width whine also retaining the 3000mah battery.

                                        All LG had to do was increase the battery to at least 3400 which is easy for how huge and thick the device is.
                                        Make the display a lot brighter and add the color profile modes in display settings like the enabled in the G Flex 2.
                                        Use DDR4 Ram and gg4.
                                        Right off the bat the G4 would have been a lot better.

                                        And a mediatek may have helped too.
