Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a score of 79.3, which is just a bit better than the LG K51S's overall score of 74.3. Samsung Galaxy Note 5's body is somewhat lighter and just a bit thinner than the LG K51S, although it was released many years before. Both phones in this review have Android OS (Operating System), but the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has the older 5.1 version while LG K51S has Android 10 version.
The LG K51S counts with a bit superior processor than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and faster). The Galaxy Note 5 features a lot better screen than LG K51S, because although it has a little smaller screen, it also counts with a way higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a way better pixels density.
LG K51S features a much bigger memory capacity to store more apps and games than Galaxy Note 5, and although they both have exactly the same 64 GB internal memory, the LG K51S also has a SD memory card expansion slot that holds a maximum of 2 TB. The Galaxy Note 5 captures much better pictures and videos than LG K51S, because although it has a camera with way less mega pixels, it also counts with a lot better (4K) video definition.
LG K51S has longer battery duration than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because it has a 33% bigger battery capacity.
Although Galaxy Note 5 is a better device, it is way more expensive than LG K51S, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG K51S. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Galaxy Note 5, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the LG K51S, resigning some features and specifications.
