Comparison review
LG G3 has a score of 76.4, which is slightly better than Galaxy S4's general score of 76.1. These devices come with Android OS (Operating System), but the LG G3 has a newer 5.0 version and Galaxy S4 has Android 4.4.2 version. Even though the LG G3 is newer than the Galaxy S4, it's thicker and heavier.
The LG G3 counts with a slightly better display than Galaxy S4, because it has a quite bigger display, a just a little higher amount of pixels per inch in the screen and a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The LG G3 has a little faster processor than Samsung Galaxy S4, and although they both have the same number of cores, the LG G3 also has a greater amount of RAM memory and a much better graphics processing unit working at 450 MHz.
The LG G3 has a very superior memory capacity to install applications and games than Galaxy S4, because it has a SD memory card expansion slot that supports up to 128 GB and 32 GB internal storage. The LG G3 captures clearer videos and photos than Samsung Galaxy S4, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for low light captures, and they both have the same resolution back-facing camera and a same size back-facing camera sensor, the LG G3 also counts with a way better (4K) video quality.
LG G3 has just a little bit longer battery lifetime than Galaxy S4, because it has a 3000mAh battery size against 2600mAh.
Although LG G3 is a better device, it costs more than Galaxy S4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Galaxy S4. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the LG G3, but if you don't you can save some money and get the Galaxy S4, resigning some features and specs.
