From the above comparison, we can conclude why LG G6 is better than S8 from three specific aspects.
- Design
LG G6 and S8 have 5.7 inch and 5.8 inch display size respectively which are just good size. However, what makes LG G6 a winner is the location of its fingerprint which places a round target right underneath the camera lens, while the S8’s is awkwardly located right next to the camera lens, which could result in smudging.
- Camera
Camera may be the most important feature that makes LG G6 stands out from many other mobile phones. It features dual 13-MP cameras on the back. One of the lenses captures impressive wide-angle shots, and you get a 2x optical zoom. Compare to it, S8 only has a 12-MP dual-pixel camera on the back. Although the pixel of LG G6 on the front seems not better than S8, it supports Gesture Shot, allowing you to take a selfie with just a gesture and it also can snap wide-angle images.
- Price and value
Price and value must be the essential reason for most people to buy G6 rather than S8. Given that the G6 is on-par with S8 in almost every aspect (performance, design, battery…), it is a good choice to possess a G6 at a relatively lower price. Prices vary from different countries, but generally speaking, S8 is more expensive than G6. The difference of price lies in $30 to $100.
If you are more price-oriented, why not buy a LG G6.
