The LG V30's processing unit is just as good as Google Pixel 3's CPU, both have the same RAM amount and 8 processing cores.

LG V30 has a much better memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Google Pixel 3, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal memory capacity, the LG V30 also has a slot for an SD memory card that holds up to 1,95 TB.
The LG V30 has just a bit longer battery performance than Google Pixel 3, because it has a 13% larger battery capacity. LG V30 features a slightly better camera than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor which gives a lower image and video quality, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same (4K) video quality, the LG V30 also counts with a bigger aperture for better low light images and videos and a back facing camera with way more MP.
The Google Pixel 3 not only is the best phones between the ones we are comparing here, but it's also very cheap compared to the other phones, making it an obvious call.
