Comparison review
The Galaxy Note Fan Edition has a global score of 80.4, which is slightly better than LG V20's overall score of 77. The Galaxy Note Fan Edition body is newer and just a little bit lighter than the LG V20's, but it's also just a bit thicker. The Galaxy Note Fan Edition has just a little better performance than LG V20, and although they both have the same RAM memory amount, the Galaxy Note Fan Edition also has a higher number of cores.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition features a bit sharper display than LG V20. Both of them have the same exact resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, a better count of pixels per inch in the screen and a display with the same size. LG V20 has a way bigger memory for applications and games than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal memory, the LG V20 also has a SD extension slot that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB.
Galaxy Note Fan Edition's battery duration is very similar to the battery life in LG V20. The LG V20 shoots just a bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has a tinier aperture and a tinier back camera sensor shooting lower quality videos and pictures, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the LG V20 also counts with a camera in the back with a way higher 16 mega pixels resolution.
Although Galaxy Note Fan Edition is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the LG V20. If you are trying to save some money, you can get LG V20, and give up a couple features, but you will get the most out of your money.
