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...

Both devices are equally bad.

The S6 has terrible battery life in real world use, and only does well on precise tests with one thing running. The cpu is an absolute energy hog under load. It has an inconsistently tinted screen due to poor manufacturing standards, no sd card slot despite android M adding major sd features, it's too thin and overpriced. It is just a form over function device and I returned mine after one week of ownership.

The LG G4 on the other hand is slightly more practical device with a nicer LCD screen that is bigger, an sd slot, FM radio, removable battery and better cameras. But it comes up short due to poor battery life and a horrible underpowered chipset. It is still superior to the S6 though, however i won't buy it.

When trolls can't go by logic (which they never do anyway) then they go to YouTube and spent hours and hours to find a video which will say G4 is better than S6, ROFL. The persons who do that kind of video is another troll anyway.

    Basically trolls everywhere. No way Aliens are going to come to destroy this world, cause they know they don't have to. Cause better version of Aliens already are here, existing for very long.

If you still think the g4 is better then why are you on this website reading this blog?

        Hi. Ordered LG G4. Most important factor for me is DUAL SIM support in flagship device. That seals deal for me. I am from India

          LG made a foolish mistake by making LG G4 so huge by size ...this is a kiddish behaviour...lg g2 and g3 were perfect examples of engineering marvel ...& even they dont have any new technology for their flagship phone .... they should launch a 5 inch lg g flex with a mediatek decacore processor ....or should make a SAYGUS V2 like device to comete with the likes of of samsung s6 edge and iphone 6.....good luck L.G. ..Hope for the best...

              ljames, 21 Jun 2015Lol burn in. Time to climb out of your ignorance hole bud. ... moreI'm not making claims out of ignorance or just knowledge. I have seen an actual demo unit with actual burn in. It's an eyesore. It's there. Stop fooling yourself. It makes you seem like a fanboy. Also, I did not say that G4 is superior to S6. I said it's more practical, which still holds true.

                thenerd, 21 Jun 2015haha BURN IN? I think you are still stuck in 2010I just happened to come across a month-old S6 edge demo unit in one of my country's two biggest telco. The burn in was there. It was horribly visible. I don't ever recall having come across an article stating that burn in on AMOLED has been fixed for good. Have you? You might wanna share it for the rest of us to see.

                    And again it's not just 2 gpu cores. It's an advanced manufacturing of the chip that not only allows two more cores, but the latest in graphics, and higher more sustained clock rates. While the chip is not only more powerful, but can operate with less throttle.
                    Best of all it also consumes less energy.
                    And brings a much more advanced audio DAC.

                    I stopped reading your blabbing after that. Yes they are trlling but you're doing no better

                      After reading thoroughly and owning both devices i suggest you guys test a european G4 unit as it seems it's substantially better than US versions. FM radio is available as is custom browser and themes and i think G4 photos are much better than you got on your unit, especially the folliage and even without RAW. Also battery life is actually better in real world day to day usage than the S6's. Just MHO :)

                              I don't agree that the S6 takes better photos than the G4. Every other site I've been on has said that the G4 has a better camera than the S6. The G4 has even been compared to a $4000 DSLR on YouTube.
