Comparison review
The Microsoft Surface Duo is a bit better than LG V20, getting a general score of 78.8 against 77. Even though the Microsoft Surface Duo is noticeably heavier than LG V20, it's incredibly thinner and way newer. The Microsoft Surface Duo features just a bit better hardware performance than LG V20, because it has a higher amount of RAM memory and a greater number of cores (and faster).
LG V20 has a bit more vivid screen than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a little bit worse 1440 x 2560px resolution and a way smaller display, it also counts with more pixels per inch of screen. LG V20 counts with a much bigger storage for apps and games than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has only 64 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a slot for an external memory card that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB.
The Microsoft Surface Duo features just a bit longer battery duration than LG V20, because it has 3577mAh of battery capacity instead of 3200mAh. LG V20 takes better videos and photos than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has lower 30 frames per second video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video quality, the LG V20 also counts with a bigger camera aperture for better photography and video in low-light environments and a back camera with a lot higher 16 megapixels resolution.
Although Microsoft Surface Duo is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG V20. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Microsoft Surface Duo, else you can save a couple dollars and get the LG V20, resigning a couple specs and features.
