Which is better, Galaxy Z Flip 5G or LG G8 ThinQ? We compared their features and specs in detail

Your device's size has a huge influence on how easy it is to hold or to operate with one hand. The smaller your device's width, the easier it will be to hold, but you'll also need to take device thickness into account. And when the length and width are both smaller, you'll find that it's much easier for you to operate it one-handed, since your fingers will find it much easier to reach where you want them to. On the other hand, longer lengths and wider widths might lead to devices that are hard to carry in your pocket, bulky even when you keep them in your bag, and all around less portable.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G is 2.9 inches (73.6 mm) wide, 6.6 inches (167.3 mm) tall, and 0.3 inches (7.2 mm) thick. The LG G8 ThinQ is 2.8 inches (71.8 mm) tall, 6.0 inches (151.9 mm) wide, and 0.3 inches (8.4 mm) thick.

There is no real difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ when comparing their width, thickness, and slimness; they are both around the same in terms of one-handed ease of use and carry. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Comparing the width and height of the main unit, the LG G8 ThinQ is smaller and more compact than the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. As a result, the LG G8 ThinQ is easier to operate with one hand and it is more portable without getting in your way than the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. Therefore, the LG G8 ThinQ is recommended.

When comparing their sizes as a whole, there is no real difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 5Gand LG G8 ThinQ. Thus they are roughly the same in terms of ease of carry and one-handed use. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

The device weight will effect how quickly you tire from holding it, and how much stress is put on your wrist. The lighter it is, the longer you can hold it without feeling tired. Also, less stress on your wrist will make using it easier and more pleasant. Unless the weight is right for you, it might put too much strain on your body and make using it more stressful.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G weighs 183 oz (183 g). The LG G8 ThinQ clocks in at 167 oz (167 g). Comparing the weight of the main unit, the LG G8 ThinQ is a lighter phone than the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, with a difference of approximately 167 oz (16 g). Therefore, there is less strain on your fingers and wrists even when you use your phone for a long time on the LG G8 ThinQ compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. For this reason, the LG G8 ThinQ is recommended.

Screen size influences how well you can control your device, as well as how clear the display is. With a large screen, the text and buttons in apps will display large enough so you'll be less likely to accidentally tap the button next to the one you were aiming for. Plus, you'll be able to enjoy more high-impact visuals for games and movies.

The screen size on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is 6.7 inch, and 6.1 inch on the LG G8 ThinQ. The screens of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ are roughly the same size, and so the ease of pressing app buttons are the same on both devices. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Pixel density influences how nice your device's screen looks, with high pixel densities making screens look more beautiful, and letting you get more out of your games and movies. Plus, the nicer you screen looks, the less strain you'll be putting on your eyes, so you'll tend to be able to use your device for longer before your eyes get tired.

The screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G has a 1080 x 2636 resolution and a pixel density of 425 ppi. The LG G8 ThinQ, on the other hand, has a screen resolution of 1440 x 3120 and a pixel density of 563 ppi. There is not much of a difference in the pixel resolutions of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ, so they are about the same in terms of clarity of image and gentleness on the eyes. For this reason it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Battery performance has a big effect on the battery life of your device. However, a high battery capacity doesn't necessarily mean a long battery life. Rather, the rate of power consumption needs to be taken into consideration as well. The larger the screen and the higher the CPU performance, the higher the rate of power consumption on your battery.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G has a battery capacity of 3300 mAh, while the LG G8 ThinQ has a 3500 mAh battery. The batteries of both the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ perform to the same extent. There is also no difference in the battery capacities of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and the LG G8 ThinQ. Since their battery life is practically identical, it would be better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Your CPU's speed will influence the processing power of the applications you run, and together with the number of cores in the CPU, as well as its clock frequency, will determine the processing power available for apps. The higher these performance factors, the smoother your games and apps will run. Conversely, if these factors are too low, your apps and games will be sluggish and struggle to run.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G is equipped with a Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865+ processor, and its performance speed is 3.09GHz+2.4GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). The LG G8 ThinQ uses an Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855 CPU that performs at a speed of 2.84GHz+2.42GHz+1.78GHz×8(OctaCore). There is also no real discrepancy between the CPU performances of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ. Because of this, both phones will feel practically identical in terms of smoothness when running apps and ease of game play. This is why it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Your device's multimedia performance and app stability are both influenced by the amount of memory it has available. The more memory, the more apps you can use simultaneously, while keeping everything stable and smooth. Plus, there'll be less chance of animations lagging or apps crashing. You also need to keep in mind that some games won't run at all if there's not enough memory available.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G has 8GB of memory. The LG G8 ThinQ, on the other hand, has 6GB. Memory performance is roughly the same for both the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ; as a result, multitasking, playing 3D games, and using VR feels the same on both devices. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Storage capacity determines the amount of data you'll be able to save on your device. The more storage you have, the more photos you can take and the more apps you can install. Plus, if your smartphone is compatible with SD cards, then you can increase the amount of available storage. However, SD cards have a slower writespeed, making them less desirable in terms of performance, and users should be aware that it won't be possible to transfer all kinds of data to the card.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G has 256GB of storage, while the LG G8 ThinQ has 128GB. There is no real difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 5GandLG G8 ThinQ's ROMs and storage capacities, so both can store roughly the same amount of photographs and apps. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

One factor in how well your rear camera (the camera on the back of your device) performs is its megapixel count. With a higher megapixel count, you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, photos that stay clear and sharp even when printed.

The main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G has 12 MP. The LG G8 ThinQ has 12 MP. The rear facing cameras of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LG G8 ThinQ have roughly the same performance, so the quality of the photograph and video footage they can capture is around the same. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

One indication of how well your forward facing camera (the camera on the same side as your device's screen) performs is how many megapixels it has. More megapixels means you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, that still look amazing printed out.

The forward-facing camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G has a resolution of 10 MP. The LG G8 ThinQ's has 8 MP. Comparing the front-facing camera performance, the number of pixels of the front-facing camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is higher than the LG G8 ThinQ, with a difference of approximately 2 MP. For this reason, it is possible to take higher quality selfies and make clear prints with the Galaxy Z Flip 5G than the LG G8 ThinQ. Therefore, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is recommended.
