Apple iPhone 5s vs LG G2

Introduction

Design
Okay, so the iPhone 5s recycles its design, which means that there’s nothing really new with it, but despite that, it still proves to be the more attractive device between the two. Why’s that? It’s because it’s compact in size, solidly constructed, and employs premium materials – quality elements that help strengthen its stature of being a high end phone. On the flip side, the LG G2 is pretty amazing in its own right, especially how it decides to mix it up with the placement of its power and volume buttons. However, at the end of the day, it’s still a polycarbonate constructed smartphone that lacks the elegance and sturdiness of the iPhone 5s’ design.
Quickly looking around their bodies, it’s evident that they share many common things, like their 3.5mm headset jacks and speaker grills, but they do feature their own unique things. For starters, there’s a biometric Touch ID finger print sensor incorporated into the home button of the iPhone 5s, which offers us a unique and hassle-free way of unlocking the phone. Meanwhile, the LG G2 packs an always useful IR blaster to double it as a universal remote – perfect for those occasions when the remote control goes missing!
Display
Size alone is staggering between these two flagships! One is small, the other is ginormous. Arguably the two best looking displays out there, there’s a lot to like about the two displays, but at the end of the day, we’re still more fascinated by the display on the LG G2. So what do we have here? Well, it’s a 4-inch 640 x 1136 Retina Display on the iPhone 5s, which is pleasant and all, but lacks the intimidating figure of the G2’s 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 advanced IPS LCD display. Frankly, it’s the higher resolution of the G2’s display that makes it so much more prized over the iPhone 5s, but as we’ve detailed several times in other comparable reviews, the detail superiority of the 1080p resolution screen of the G2 is only apparent when we look at the two very closely. Viewing them from a normal distance, our eyes wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
