Comparison review
The Apple iPhone 7 has a global score of 81.6, which is slightly better than the LG V30's 79.1 global score. The Apple iPhone 7 is an older device than LG V30, but Apple was able to make it somewhat lighter and just a little bit thinner anyway. The LG V30 has a slightly better screen than iPhone 7, because it has a bigger screen, a way better resolution of 1440 x 2880px and a lot better count of pixels per display inch.
The LG V30 has a little better hardware performance than iPhone 7, because it has a higher amount of RAM memory and more CPU cores. LG V30 has a quite bigger memory for apps and games than iPhone 7, because although it has only 64 GB internal memory, it also counts with a slot for an SD memory card that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB.
LG V30 counts with a way better battery performance than iPhone 7, because it has a 3300mAh battery size. LG V30 captures just a bit better photos and videos than iPhone 7, because although it has a tinier sensor taking less light and washed colors, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the LG V30 also counts with a larger camera aperture to capture better photography and video in low light situations and a camera with way more mega pixels.
Although Apple iPhone 7 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the LG V30, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as LG V30. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Apple iPhone 7, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the LG V30, resigning a couple specifications.
