LG announced the 6th Generation G smartphone at MWC and it has been getting praises from all over. We ourselves quite liked the device and you can read all about it in our review. But Samsung is coming out with the S8 soon with all guns blazing. While we will be comparing the smartphone’s in detail once we have both the device together, we though that a detailed spec comparison will be helpful for the time being.
