LG G8X ThinQ features a little sharper screen than Galaxy A71, because although it has a quite smaller screen and a bit lower resolution of 1080 x 2340, it also counts with a bit higher pixels density.

Samsung Galaxy A71 features a way better camera than LG G8X ThinQ, because although it has lower 30 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a same size camera aperture, the Samsung Galaxy A71 also counts with a back-facing camera with a way higher resolution and a lot bigger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.
