Comparison review
The LG V30S ThinQ is a little bit better than the Galaxy S7 edge, having an 82.5 score against 78.1. These devices include the same Android 8.0 Oreo OS (operating system), so both of them should count with identical operating system features. The LG V30S ThinQ body is newer and a little bit thinner, but just a bit heavier than the Galaxy S7 edge.
LG V30S ThinQ features a little bit better screen than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because it has a little larger display, a quite better resolution of 1440 x 2880 and a little more pixels per inch in the screen. LG V30S ThinQ counts with much more memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because it has 128 GB internal storage capacity and a slot for external memory cards that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB.
LG V30S ThinQ counts with a little better performance than Galaxy S7 edge, because it has a greater amount of RAM memory and a larger number of cores. The LG V30S ThinQ counts with a bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a smaller sensor, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video quality, the LG V30S ThinQ also counts with a larger camera aperture for better low light images and a much better 16 MP resolution back camera.
The Galaxy S7 edge counts with just a bit longer battery lifetime than LG V30S ThinQ, because it has a 9% larger battery size.
Although LG V30S ThinQ is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and give up some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
