Comparison review
Galaxy Note9 has a general score of 87.1, which is a bit better than the LG G8 ThinQ's 84.3 global score. Despite being the best in this comparison review, the Galaxy Note9 design is somewhat heavier and a bit thicker than LG G8 ThinQ. LG G8 ThinQ has a slightly better looking display than Galaxy Note9, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a little bit higher 1440 x 3120 pixels resolution and a just a bit greater pixel amount in each screen inch.
LG G8 ThinQ and Samsung Galaxy Note9 count with very similar processors, they have a Octa-Core CPU and 6 GB of RAM memory. The Samsung Galaxy Note9 takes a little bit better photos and videos than LG G8 ThinQ, and although they both have a F1.5 aperture, a back-facing camera with a 12 mega-pixels resolution, the same (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rates, the Samsung Galaxy Note9 also has a larger back-facing camera sensor capturing better quality photos.
The LG G8 ThinQ features a lot bigger storage capacity for games and applications than Samsung Galaxy Note9, and although they both have equal 128 GB internal storage capacity, the LG G8 ThinQ also has an external memory slot that holds up to 1,95 TB. Galaxy Note9 features just a bit better battery lifetime than LG G8 ThinQ, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 3500mAh.
Although Galaxy Note9 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the LG G8 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG G8 ThinQ. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Galaxy Note9, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the LG G8 ThinQ, resigning some features and specs.
