- The LG AKA also has a significantly larger 2610 mAh battery compared to the BLU's 1800 mAh, which may provide better longevity.
- Both devices run on older versions of Android, with the BLU on Android 4.2 and the LG on 4.4.2, but neither offers advanced software features found in newer operating systems.
