Comparison review
The LG V30S ThinQ has a general score of 82.5, which is a little bit better than Microsoft Surface Duo's 78.8 general score. The LG V30S ThinQ construction is noticeably lighter than Microsoft Surface Duo, but it's extremely thicker and was released many years before. These phones use Android OS (Operating System), but the LG V30S ThinQ has the newer 8.0 Oreo version and Microsoft Surface Duo has Android 10, counting with a couple nice extra features.
Microsoft Surface Duo features just a bit better processing power than LG V30S ThinQ. They have 6 GB of RAM memory and the same number of cores. LG V30S ThinQ features a little sharper screen than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a bit worse 1440 x 2880 resolution and a lot smaller display, it also counts with a higher number of pixels per inch of display.
LG V30S ThinQ has a much better camera than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has slower 30 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same video definition, the LG V30S ThinQ also counts with a larger camera aperture for better low light photography and a back camera with much more MP.
The LG V30S ThinQ has a much greater storage capacity to store more apps and games than Microsoft Surface Duo, and although they both have the same internal storage capacity, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a slot for external memory cards that allows up to 1,95 TB. Microsoft Surface Duo features just a little better battery performance than LG V30S ThinQ, because it has 3577mAh of battery capacity.
Although LG V30S ThinQ is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Microsoft Surface Duo, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Microsoft Surface Duo. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy LG V30S ThinQ, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Microsoft Surface Duo, letting go a couple specifications.
