The LG G5 has a little bit better display than Apple iPhone 8 Plus, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560px and more pixels per display inch. The iPhone 8 Plus takes a little bit better pictures and videos than LG G5, although it has a back camera with much less mega-pixels resolution, a worse 3840x2160 video definition and a smaller back-facing camera sensor capturing lower quality photographs and videos, they both have a same size diafragm aperture.
Apple iPhone 8 Plus has slightly more memory to store more apps and games than LG G5, because although it has no SD card slot, it also counts with 224 GB more internal storage capacity. LG G5 has a little longer battery lifetime than Apple iPhone 8 Plus, because it has 2800mAh of battery capacity.
