Comparison review
Galaxy S4 is a little bit better than LG G2, getting a 78.2 score against 73.7. Even though the Galaxy S4 and the LG G2 were released with only a couple of months difference, the Galaxy S4 is just a bit lighter and thinner. Both of these devices include the same Android 4.4.2 OS (operating system), so both should give very similar OS features.
LG G2 counts with a slightly better looking display than Galaxy S4, because although it has a little bit inferior pixels count in each display inch, and they both have the same exact resolution of 1920 x 1080, the LG G2 also counts with a bit bigger screen. The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a way bigger storage for apps and games than LG G2. Both have exactly the same internal memory.
Samsung Galaxy S4's processor is just as good as the LG G2 one, both have 4 processing cores, a 2 GB RAM memory and a 450 MHz graphics co-processor. The LG G2 counts with a slightly better camera than Galaxy S4, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have a same resolution back facing camera, the same (Full HD) video quality and a same size back camera sensor, the LG G2 also counts with higher video frame rate.
LG G2 counts with just a little bit longer battery performance than Galaxy S4, because it has a 15% greater battery size.
Galaxy S4 is not only the best phones between the ones we are comparing here, but it's also cheap compared to the other phone, making it an easy decision.
