Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is just a bit better than the LG V30, getting a 79.5 score against 79.1. Despite being the best in this comparison review, we must tell that it's also older, a bit thicker and a bit heavier. LG V30 has a little more vivid screen than Samsung Galaxy Note7, because it has a little bit higher resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels, a little bit greater display pixel density and a quite larger screen.
LG V30 counts with a little faster CPU than Galaxy Note7, and although they both have 4 GB of RAM memory, the LG V30 also has a greater number of cores (and they are faster). The LG V30 features much more storage for games and applications than Galaxy Note7, and although they both have the same internal memory capacity, the LG V30 also has a SD memory card expansion slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB.
LG V30 counts with a slightly better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note7, because although it has a smaller camera sensor providing a worse image quality, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same video frame rates, the LG V30 also counts with a lot more megapixels back facing camera and a larger aperture to take better photography and video in low light environments.
