The iPhone X is much better than LG G5, getting an 88.1 score against 76.1. The iPhone X construction is newer, but a little thicker and just a bit heavier than LG G5. The Apple iPhone X has a slightly better looking screen than LG G5, because although it has a little worse screen density and a little worse resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels, it also counts with a bit larger screen.
IPhone X features slightly more storage for apps and games than LG G5, because although it has no SD card slot, it also counts with 224 GB more internal memory. The iPhone X features a superior CPU than LG G5, because although it has 1 GB lesser RAM, it also counts with a greater number of cores (and also faster) and a 64 bits processor.
LG G5 has just a little bit longer battery lifetime than iPhone X, because it has a 2800mAh battery capacity instead of 2716mAh. IPhone X features a little bit better camera than LG G5, although it has a smaller sensor shooting worse quality videos and photos, a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and a camera with a way lower 12 mega-pixels resolution, they both have the same diafragm aperture.
The Apple iPhone X is a lot more expensive than the LG G5, but it's still a great choice, because you can get a much better phone for that extra money.
