Comparison review
The HTC One M9 has a score of 77.7, which is just a bit better than the LG G3's global score of 76.4. Both of these phones use the same Android 5.0 OS. The HTC One M9 construction is newer, but just a little bit heavier and just a bit thicker than the LG G3. LG G3 features a little more vivid display than HTC One M9, because it has a better 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, a quite bigger screen and a just a bit more pixels per inch in the screen.
HTC One M9 features a bit better processing power than LG G3, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM memory, the HTC One M9 also has a 64-bit CPU, a larger number of cores (although they are slower) and a faster graphics processor running at 600 megahertz. HTC One M9 shoots a little bit better pictures and videos than LG G3, and although they both have the same video definition and the same video frame rate, the HTC One M9 also has a way bigger camera sensor capturing much better quality pictures and videos, a lot more mega-pixels back camera and a bigger diafragm aperture to capture better low-light photos.
The LG G3's storage capacity to install games and applications is just as good as HTC One M9's one, they have exactly the same internal storage capacity and a SD card slot that allows up to 128 GB. The LG G3 counts with a bit superior battery duration than HTC One M9, because it has a 6% larger battery size.
Although HTC One M9 is a better device, it costs a little more money than LG G3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the LG G3. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy HTC One M9, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the LG G3, resigning some specs and features.
