Comparison review
Google Pixel XL is slightly better than LG G5, having an 81.3 score against 76.1. Even being the best device we compare here, we must tell that it is also thicker and just a little heavier. The LG G5 features a bit superior processing unit than Google Pixel XL. They have a Quad-Core processor and a 4 GB RAM.
LG G5 has a little sharper display than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have an equal 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, the LG G5 also counts with a bit higher pixels density. LG G5 shoots a bit better photos and videos than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a tinier camera sensor taking less light and washed colors, and they both have the same video resolution and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the LG G5 also counts with a back camera with a much better resolution and a bigger camera aperture.
LG G5 features much more memory capacity for apps and games than Google Pixel XL, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with an external SD slot that supports up to 1,95 TB. Google Pixel XL has improved battery performance than LG G5, because it has a 3450mAh battery size instead of 2800mAh.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG G5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG G5. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Google Pixel XL, else you can save some dollars and buy the LG G5, letting go a couple specifications.
