Summary
- The LG V35 ThinQ features a 6.0-inch P-OLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a slightly smaller 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels, resulting in a higher pixel density.
- In terms of performance, both devices utilize high-end chipsets, with the V35 ThinQ powered by the Snapdragon 845 and the Galaxy S8 using either the Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835, but the V35 offers more RAM at 6GB compared to the S8's 4GB.
- The V35 ThinQ's dual rear camera setup (16 MP standard and 16 MP ultrawide) outperforms the S8's single 12 MP rear camera, although both support OIS and 4K video recording.
- Battery capacity is higher in the V35 at 3300 mAh versus the S8's 3000 mAh, with both supporting wireless charging.
- Software-wise, the V35 runs Android 8.0 (Oreo) upgradable to 9.0, while the S8 starts with Android 7.0 (Nougat) and is also upgradable to 9.0, but features Samsung's One UI for a different user experience.
- Both devices have a premium build with glass and aluminum materials and include a headphone jack.
