Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a global score of 79.3, which is just a bit better than LG G Flex 2's 75.2 general score. Both phones we compare here come with Android OS, but Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a more recent 5.1 version and LG G Flex 2 has Android 5.0, giving you some nice extra features and a performance increase. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 construction is thinner but heavier than LG G Flex 2, and they were released with only 7 months difference.
The Galaxy Note 5 counts with a bit more vivid display than LG G Flex 2, because it has a little bigger display, a higher pixel amount in each inch in the screen and a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The LG G Flex 2 counts with a slightly better memory to install games and applications than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has less internal memory, it also counts with an external memory card slot that holds up to 128 GB.
The LG G Flex 2 has a better processing unit than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has less RAM memory, it also counts with a 64 bits CPU, an additional graphics co-processor and 7 more cores (although they are slower). Galaxy Note 5 features a battery performance that's just as good as the battery lifetime in LG G Flex 2.
Galaxy Note 5 captures much better photos and videos than LG G Flex 2, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same video frame rate, the Galaxy Note 5 also has a better resolution camera.
Although Galaxy Note 5 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than LG G Flex 2, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG G Flex 2. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get the LG G Flex 2, giving up a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
