LG has officially announced its V30 Android smartphone, giving Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 a tough competitor ahead of the holiday season. Although Samsung’s latest smartphone comes along with stunning specs and features, LG’s new handset is also a tough contender.
Processors of the smartphones
There’s no competition when it comes to LG V30 and Galaxy Note 8 smartphones’ processors. Both mobile devices have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 chipset. However, V30 is LG’s first mobile device that features the Snapdragon 835 processor, as pointed out by Android Headlines.

The processor is also capable of providing cutting-edge camera capability, ultra-fast download speeds, longer battery life as well as high-quality virtual reality and AR experiences.
Camera front
When it comes to the camera department, the competition between LG V30 and Galaxy Note 8 is pretty tight, especially as Samsung has featured a dual camera setup in its new phablet.
