Comparison review
The LG Q70 is just a bit better than the Xiaomi Mi 5c, having a 77.9 score against 72.4. Both phones we compare here have Android OS (operating system), but the LG Q70 has the previous 10 version and Xiaomi Mi 5c has Android 7.1 Nougat version. The LG Q70 body is newer than Xiaomi Mi 5c's, but it is a lot heavier and thicker.
The Xiaomi Mi 5c has a bit superior processor than LG Q70, although it has less RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores. The Xiaomi Mi 5c has a little bit better display than LG Q70, because although it has a bit smaller display and a quite lower 1080 x 1920 resolution, it also counts with a just a bit higher screen density.
LG Q70 features a much bigger storage for games and applications than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have exactly the same internal memory, the LG Q70 also has a slot for an SD memory card that holds up to 1,95 TB. The LG Q70 shoots much better pictures and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video quality, the LG Q70 also has a much better 32 MP resolution back-facing camera and a larger aperture to capture better low light photography and videos.
The LG Q70 has a very superior battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a 40% bigger battery capacity.
Although LG Q70 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Xiaomi Mi 5c. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get Xiaomi Mi 5c, giving up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your budget.
