Comparison review
The Galaxy Note8 is a bit better than LG V30, having a general score of 83 against 79.1. Even being the best phone we compare here, we must note that it is also a somewhat thicker and somewhat heavier phone. LG V30 features a display that's very similar to Galaxy Note8's display, because although the LG V30 has a little bit worse resolution of 1440 x 2880px and a quite smaller display, it also counts with a little bit greater number of pixels in each inch in the screen.
The LG V30 features a much bigger memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy Note8, and although they both have exactly the same 64 GB internal storage, the LG V30 also has a slot for an SD memory card that allows up to 1,95 TB. The Galaxy Note8 and the LG V30 count with quite similar processors, and although the LG V30 has a smaller amount of RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores.
LG V30 features just a bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note8, because although it has a smaller sensor, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same video resolution, the LG V30 also counts with a camera with way more MP and a larger diafragm aperture to take better images and videos in low-light environments.
The LG V30 counts with a battery life that's just as good as Galaxy Note8's battery lifetime.
Although Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the LG V30, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as LG V30. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Note8, else you can save a couple dollars and buy the LG V30, resigning some features and specs.
