Comparison review
IPhone XS Max has a general score of 84.5, which is a little bit better than LG G8 ThinQ's 84.3 general score. The iPhone XS Max body is a bit thinner but somewhat heavier than LG G8 ThinQ, and they were released only a few months apart. The LG G8 ThinQ features a little sharper screen than Apple iPhone XS Max, because although it has less brightness and a bit smaller screen, it also counts with a little better pixel density and a little higher 1440 x 3120 resolution.
The LG G8 ThinQ features a much bigger memory for games and applications than Apple iPhone XS Max, because it has a SD extension slot that admits up to 1,95 TB and 128 GB internal memory capacity. IPhone XS Max counts with a bit more powerful processor than LG G8 ThinQ, because although it has an inferior number of slower cores and a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a 64-bit CPU.
IPhone XS Max's camera is just as good as the camera in LG G8 ThinQ, because although the iPhone XS Max has a smaller aperture which is not nice for shooting photographs and/or video in low light environments, and they both have the same 60 fps video frame rate, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same resolution back-facing camera, it also counts with a larger sensor providing a higher image quality.
LG G8 ThinQ features a bit longer battery performance than iPhone XS Max, because it has a 10 percent larger battery size.
Although Apple iPhone XS Max is a better device, it is way more expensive than LG G8 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as LG G8 ThinQ. So if you want that extra features, you can buy Apple iPhone XS Max, else you can save some dollars and get the LG G8 ThinQ, letting go a couple features and specs.
