The Galaxy S4 has a general score of 78.4, which is slightly better than the LG G2's general score of 73.7. Both devices we compare here use the same Android 4.4.2 OS (Operating System), so you shouldn't see any difference regarding OS features. Even when Galaxy S4 and the LG G2 were only released with a few months difference, Galaxy S4 is thinner and a little bit lighter.
LG G2 counts with a bit better CPU than Galaxy S4, because although it has a lower number of cores (but faster), and they both have the same RAM amount, the LG G2 also counts with an extra graphics processor. The LG G2 has a little sharper screen than Galaxy S4, because although it has a just a little lower screen pixels density, and they both have exactly the same 1920 x 1080 resolution, the LG G2 also counts with a quite larger screen.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 counts with a much greater memory capacity for games and applications than LG G2, because it has 64 GB internal storage capacity. The LG G2 has just a bit longer battery duration than Samsung Galaxy S4, because it has a 3000mAh battery size instead of 2600mAh. LG G2 takes clearer photos and videos than Galaxy S4, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not nice for low-light photos and video, and they both have a 13 MP camera in the back, the same 1920x1080 video resolution and the same sensor size, the LG G2 also counts with higher 60 frames per second video frame rate.
Even being the best phone of the ones in this comparison, the Galaxy S4 is also cheap compared to the LG G2.
