This means you can fit more content in each frame, including more peeps for a group selfie. The G6 can take wide-angle shots from its front-facing camera and two rear cameras (one's got a wide-angle lens). Camera: Capturing beautiful pics and video While I detest the location of the S8's fingerprint sensor, the phone is sleeker and more beautiful than the G6. I much prefer the G6's approach, which places a round target right underneath the camera lens. One thing that we absolutely hate about the S8, though, is its fingerprint reader, which is awkwardly located right next to the camera lens. Lastly, the S8's display has a higher pixel density, so it's a tad sharper (though you can't really discern this with your naked eye).Ī 3-foot drop on the sidewalk didn't crack the S8's display.

But the G6's screen is coated with Gorilla Glass 3 and during our drop tests, it cracked on the first try. The S8's display uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and survived multiple drops from different heights. It also fared better during our drop test. However, the S8 has a slightly bigger display (5.8 inches compared to 5.7), and is physically lighter, narrower and thinner than the G6. Both are rated IP68 for water resistance and have barely-there bezels. The S8 and G6 have plenty of design elements in common. To help you out, I evaluated how these devices stacked up in design, camera, performance, features and value.
Overall, the S8 has the sexier, stronger hardware, but does that really matter in the end? LG's G6 saves you money and offers a lot of the same features. And both companies are attempting to regain their footing after independent setbacks Samsung from its Galaxy Note 7 recall nightmare and LG from the nonstarter that was the LG G5 and its handful of modular accessories.

And once again, we're here to help you figure out which is best for you.īoth the Galaxy S8 and G6 are excellent high-end phones with slim bezels, waterproofing and the latest Android 7.0 software. Once again, Samsung and LG's rival phones come face to face.
