Which should you buy, the Galaxy M12 or LG G8 ThinQ? We offer a thorough comparison of the differences in functions, specifications and performance between the two

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 M12 is 3.0 inches (75.9 mm) wide, 6.5 inches (164 mm) tall, and 0.4 inches (9.7 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.

Comparing the width and thickness of the main unit, the LG G8 ThinQ is smaller and more compact compared to the Galaxy M12. Therefore, it is easier to grip and hold the LG G8 ThinQ than the Galaxy M12. For this reason, the LG G8 ThinQ is recommended.

Comparing the width and height of the main unit, the LG G8 ThinQ is smaller and more compact than the Galaxy M12. 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 M12. Therefore, the LG G8 ThinQ is recommended.

Comparing the overall size of the main unit, the LG G8 ThinQ is smaller than the Galaxy M12. As a result, it is easier to use the LG G8 ThinQ with one hand compared to the Galaxy M12, and its size makes it more comfortable to carry around. For this reason, the LG G8 ThinQ is recommended.

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 M12 weighs 221 oz (221 g). The LG G8 ThinQ clocks in at 167 oz (167 g). If you compare the weight of the two, the LG G8 ThinQ is a considerably lighter smartphone than the Galaxy M12, with a difference of about 167 oz (54 g). Because of this, the LG G8 ThinQ puts less of a burden on the fingers and wrists than the Galaxy M12. If you want a smartphone that won't tire your hands out even when using it for a long time, we recommend that you buy the LG G8 ThinQ rather than the Galaxy M12.

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 M12 is 6.5 inch, and 6.1 inch on the LG G8 ThinQ. The screens of the Galaxy M12 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 M12 has a 720 x 1600 resolution and a pixel density of 269 ppi. The LG G8 ThinQ, on the other hand, has a screen resolution of 1440 x 3120 and a pixel density of 563 ppi. Comparing the screen definition, the LG G8 ThinQ has a much higher pixel density than the Galaxy M12, with a difference of about 294 ppi. The screen on the LG G8 ThinQ is clear and crisp, and puts less strain on the eyes than that of the Galaxy M12. If you want to choose a smartphone that is gentle on your eyes with a display that shows text and images clearly, we recommend that you buy the LG G8 ThinQ rather than the Galaxy M12.

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.

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 M12 is equipped with a Exynos 850 processor, and its performance speed is 2.0GHz+2.0GHz×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 M12 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 M12 has 6GB of memory. The LG G8 ThinQ, on the other hand, has 6GB. Memory performance is roughly the same for both the Galaxy M12 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 M12 has 128GB of storage, while the LG G8 ThinQ has 128GB. There is no real difference between the Galaxy M12andLG 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 M12 has 48 MP. The LG G8 ThinQ has 12 MP. The rear-facing camera of the Galaxy M12 also has a higher pixel count than the LG G8 ThinQ, with a difference of about 36 MP. The Galaxy M12 is more capable than the LG G8 ThinQ of taking high-definition photos and videos, and produces better results when printing out the photos you have taken. If you want a smartphone that is designed for video and photography, we recommend buying the Galaxy M12 rather than the LG G8 ThinQ.

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 M12 has a resolution of 8 MP. The LG G8 ThinQ's has 8 MP. There is little difference between the camera capabilities and the pixel density of the Galaxy M12 and LG G8 ThinQ's front facing cameras, so the quality of photographs and video footage is virtually the same. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.
