The battle for Android supremacy is heating up in 2017 with both LG and Samsung releasing the best phones they’ve made, to date.
Both handsets have a phablet size displays in smaller phone bodies which means that the screen to body ratio averages in the region of 80%. Keeping up the similarities, both handsets are waterproof with IP68 ratings as well as a rear mounted fingerprint scanner and both use Android 7.0 as the operating system.
The LG G6 is currently on sale with a recommended retail price of R12 099 (or from R10 999 on PriceCheck) while the Galaxy S8 will be on sale from 5 May (pre-orders are currently open) with a recommended retail price of R15 499, however you can find it on PriceCheck from R12 999.
