LG, a South Korean mobile giant, is coming with a stronger
and bigger flagship of smartphone this 2014 in the name of LG G3, the upgraded
brother of LG G2. However, Apple - another mobile phone manufacturer global
giant is still sailing smoothly in the sea of smartphones with its Apple iPhone
5S.
Apple iPhone 5S is getting a year older this year, while LG
G3 is still fresh in the market. While it is true that LG G3 is newer and
younger, this does not automatically mean that iPhone 5S is already outdated.
If you are torn between these two smartphones, here is a treat for you as we
get them side by side.
Screen size
LG G3 sports a 5.5” Quad HD display with a 2560 x 1440
pixels. It also has a 538 ppi pixel density. On the other hand, iPhone 5S comes
with a smaller screen size of 4” retina display. This is not a bad thing
though, especially for people who have trouble grasping a bigger smartphone.
iPhone 5S comes with a lower ppi of 326 and a 640 x 1136 pixels. Undoubtedly,
iPhone 5s looks inferior in both screen quality and size next to LG G3.
Design
The iPhone 5S still remains at the apex of precision and
metal engineering, it is one of those smartphones that feel incredibly premium
and class in your hands. It sports an aluminium unibody. It is also incredibly
lighter and thinner. It is also available in three classic colors – Space Gray,
Gold, and Silver.
LG G3 also looks premium with its metal-effect skin. It is
not actually metal, though. The rear cover is also removable. It is understood
that it is heavier compared to iPhone 5S due to its enormous size. It also
includes very tiny bezels and also comes in many colors - Metallic Black, Silk
White, Shine Gold, Moon Violet, Burgundy Red.
Camera
LG G3 boasts its 13MP rear camera powered with a Laser Auto
Focus, which measures the distance of the subject using laser technology. This
improves focus speed and object detection even in a low-light environment. It
also comes with a Dual-LED flash. Its 2MP front camera is also great for
selfies.
The Apple iPhone 5S sports an 8MP iSight camera with True
Tone flash and dual. It also claims to have larger pixels and larger aperture,
which are needed to get in more light. It also comes with the famous panorama
mode and slow-motion video mode. However, if you want external hardware here,
you can always improve the photo quality through various detachable camera
lenses for iPhones.
Hardware and software
The iPhone 5S is the first 64-bit smartphone in the world,
it’s a desktop-class architecture in a super slim iPhone. It can fire apps and
allow you to multi-task seamlessly, thanks to its improved A7 chip. The A7 chip
improves the CPU and GPU performance. It is coupled with an M7 coprocessor
designed to measure motion data. This makes your battery even more efficient. It
has 1.3 Dual-Core CPU with 1GB of RAM.
The iPhone 5S comes ready with an iOS 7. This user interface
is more fluid, and simplicity is the name of its game. It comes with a reliable
feature called Control Center.
LG G3 has its strong hardware and software too. LG G3 is
equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.5GHz. It has 3GB
of RAM for 32GB version, and 2GB for the standard 16GB version. Nominally-wise,
the LG G3 is so much better!
LG G3 comes with the latest version of Android OS Kitkat. It
is highly-customizable and intuitive.
Other Features
Personally, I am hoping that the iPhone has this Knock On
feature to wake up the phone, so you
don’t have to press either the lock/unlock button and home button. Both
smartphones have unique security features. The Apple iPhone 5S has its famous
Fingerprint scanner while LG G3 has its Knock On code. Both are very efficient
in protecting your phone from unwelcome users.
Battery
LG G3 comes with a massive 3,000 Mah battery, but it also
comes with a larger screen which can drain the battery rapidly. It supports
wireless charging and the battery is removable. The iPhone 5S has non-removable
Li-Po 1560 mAh battery which is impressive enough.
Both handsets are great phones, like luxury smartphones with great specs. I also reckon they would
also adopt new inventions for smartphones. While you are torn between the two, I must say that the choice
is still personal. If you want simplicity and more premium fuels, the iPhone is for you, but if you are after a larger screen size and more processing power, definitely go with LG G3.
