Both phones in this review include Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy S21 has an older 11 version and LG G8 ThinQ has Android 9.0 Pie version.
LG G8 ThinQ and Samsung Galaxy S21 both have quite similar processors, and although the LG G8 ThinQ has a smaller amount of RAM, they both have the same number of cores. LG G8 ThinQ counts with a little more vivid screen than Galaxy S21, because although it has a little bit smaller screen and much lower brightness, it also counts with a higher 1440 x 3120 pixels resolution and a higher pixel density.
LG G8 ThinQ has a very superior memory to store more games and applications than Galaxy S21, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory, the LG G8 ThinQ also has a SD memory slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. Galaxy S21 has a bit better battery duration than LG G8 ThinQ, because it has a 4000mAh battery size against 3500mAh.
Samsung Galaxy S21 shoots a little bit better photographs and videos than LG G8 ThinQ, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not nice for low light photos and videos, and they both have a camera with a 12 mega-pixels resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S21 also counts with a lot larger back camera sensor and a way higher 7680x4320 video definition.
Although Samsung Galaxy S21 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG G8 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as LG G8 ThinQ. If you want to save some money, you can buy the LG G8 ThinQ, letting go a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most out of your money.
