The LG V30 features a bit better processor than Google Pixel XL, and although they both have 4 GB of RAM, the LG V30 also has a larger number of cores. LG V30 shoots slightly better photographs and videos than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a lot tinier camera sensor taking less light and washed colors, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, the LG V30 also counts with a camera in the back with a lot higher resolution and a bigger diafragm aperture to capture better low-light captures and videos.
LG V30 counts with a superior storage capacity for games and applications than Google Pixel XL, because although it has only 64 GB internal storage, it also counts with a SD memory slot that holds up to 1,95 TB.
