Comparison review
LG V40 ThinQ has a general score of 81.2, which is slightly better than the LG V20's 77 overall score. LG V40 ThinQ's design has the same thickness than the LG V20, but it is a little lighter. The LG V40 ThinQ features a little bit better display than LG V20, because it has a bit bigger screen, a bit better display pixels density and a slightly higher 1440 x 3120 resolution.
The LG V40 ThinQ counts with a bit superior processor than LG V20, because it has more RAM memory and a greater number of cores (and also faster). LG V40 ThinQ takes a little bit better videos and photos than LG V20, because although it has a worse 3840x2160 video definition and a back-facing camera with a way worse resolution, it also counts with a larger aperture to take better images and video in poorly lited environments and a larger camera sensor shooting better quality photographs and videos.
LG V40 ThinQ features as much memory to install applications and games as the LG V20 one, they have the same internal storage and a SD memory card expansion slot that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB. LG V40 ThinQ counts with a little better battery lifetime than LG V20, because it has a 3% greater battery size.
Although LG V40 ThinQ is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as LG V20. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the LG V20, giving up a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
