Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. LG G2 comparison: When it comes to Android devices, a majority of techies will agree that 2 flagship devices on the forefront of the tenaciously competitive market today are the Galaxy S4 from Samsung and the G2 from LG. Both devices cost practically the same amount and there is a very slight difference between their processors and storage capacities.

The LG G2 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 2.26GHz processor while the S4 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.9GHz. Both phones bear 2GB RAM and the G2 has 32GB of storage while the S4 has 16GB. It is therefore necessary to look at other features of the devices to come to a conclusion on which would be a better buy. This Samsung Galaxy S4 VS LG G2 compares the screens of these two flagship phones.

To decide which screen will actually be better for you as a user, it is important to know just how much video you would like to watch on your device.

A majority of users will begin by looking at the screen resolution to come to a conclusion but this cannot work in the case of these 2 devices. Both the G2 and the S4 have high end Full HD 1,920 by 1,080 resolutions.

LG’s device comes with an In-plane Switching (IPS) LCD display. The display has 423 PPI (Pixels Per Inch). The G2 is considered to have a bit more screen real estate but this is undermined by the fact that LG opted to put the Home, Back and Menu controls right on the screen to deal with the problem of fading back lights and accessibility.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 on the other hand has 441 PPI on its Super AMOLED screen. This is 18PPI more than the G2. The S4 however does have a shortcoming. The AMOLED screen has a gray tint. This discolors the various pages you are looking at especially if they have a white background. Due to this shortcoming, the G2 has brighter colors and deeper contrast no matter what activity you are using it for.

When it comes to watching a video however, everything changes. The Super AMOLED screen becomes more advantageous than the G@. It has brighter colors and its blacks are also deeper than the LG’s. In addition to this, it has a wider viewing angle in case you want to watch video with somebody else.

If you want a superior screen for everyday activities like checking mail or using apps, the G2 screen is the way to go. If however your plan is to watch a lot of videos, the GS4’s screen wins.
