Summary
- The LG V40 ThinQ features a premium build with Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back, while the Thuraya One has a plastic back and frame, making it less robust.
- The V40's 6.4-inch P-OLED display offers a higher resolution (1440 x 3120) compared to the Thuraya's 6.67-inch AMOLED (1080 x 2400), but the latter supports a smoother 90Hz refresh rate.
- In terms of performance, the V40 is powered by the Snapdragon 845, while the Thuraya One uses the newer QCM4490, providing better efficiency.
- The V40 excels in camera capabilities with a triple rear setup (12 MP, 12 MP, and 16 MP) and 4K video recording, whereas the Thuraya One has a 50 MP main camera but lacks optical image stabilization and 4K video.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Thuraya One at 3500 mAh, though both devices support 18W charging.
- Software-wise, the V40 runs Android 8.1 but is upgradable to Android 10, while the Thuraya One comes with Android 14, offering a more current software experience.
