Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE A vs LG G3 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 specs comparison
A little over three months after it showed the world the Galaxy S5, Samsung is about to do it again. Boasting a 5.1-inch QHD display with a record-breaking pixel density (576ppi), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU, and 3GB of RAM, the Galaxy S5 LTE-A is the Galaxy S5 reborn. The new GS5 isn't bigger (its dimensions are same) or stronger (it's still made of plastic), but a whole lot faster for sure. It's a super-phone made for a country so obsessed with technology, it considers StarCraft a national sport.
Yet, we've got a hunch that it won't be long before Samsung unleashes its supercharged GS5 on the rest of the world. After all, the threat from its South Korean rival, in the form of the fantastic LG G3, is very real. It's bigger than ever, in fact, as the phone has been outselling the GS5 since its launch, which is quite the precedent. What's even more dramatic is that this is merely the start of the battle. According to Korean media, LG is about to deliver a Snapdragon 805-powered LG G3 as soon as possible, while Samsung is working on a powerful and attractive Samsung Galaxy F. It's a war zone in there, so enjoy your Galaxy S5 or LG G3 while it's still on the bleeding edge.
