Unfortunately we got to see only one of these exciting upcoming phones yesterday at MWC 2017, with the Galaxy S8 not due to launch until 29 March. However, as always with Samsung flagship launches, there are very few details that haven’t leaked about the new phone. Here’s our LG G6 vs Galaxy S8 preview. Also see: Best phones 2017
As with any leak, you should take the information with a pinch of salt because not all of it turns out to be correct. On the whole, though, it is on the money and we also have a small amount of official information.

Galaxy S8 vs LG G6 preview: Design
Following the lead of Xiaomi and its Mi Mix, the trend for this year’s flagship phones looks sets to be bezel-free designs. Not only does this look great, but also means you get a larger screen on a phone that’s no bigger – potentially smaller – than before.
The invitation for the LG G6 launch even goes as far as to say, ‘Big Screen. That Fits.’ so it’s not like we even needed rumours on this front. The now-announced LG G6 boasts an impressive Quad HD 5.7in display with an aspect ratio of 18:9, taller than the standard 16:9.
LG has also moved away from the modular design of the LG G5 and has ditched the removable battery in favour of waterproofing and a more aesthetic metal body. The fingerprint scanner remains on the back.
The Galaxy S8 will have a similar-size screen, expected to be 5.8in, though it is also said to feature dual curved edges. Samsung will also squeeze a larger screen into the frame of the device thanks to much smaller bezels. This will largely be achieved by ditching the top and bottom sections, losing the home button in the process and moving the fingerprint scanner to the back.
You can expect both phones to be made from a combination of metal and glass as previously.
Galaxy S8 vs LG G6 preview: Specs and features
As mentioned above, the headline feature of the G6 and Galaxy S8 will be the screen so let’s focus on that.
Starting with Samsung, the Galaxy S8 is tipped to get a 5.8in screen with a Quad HD resolution. It also looks like the firm will bring its dual-edge technology to the regular model so either side of the screen will curve around the side towards the back. A larger Galaxy S8 Plus is rumoured to offer a 6.2in display, also with a Quad HD resolution.
The LG G6 has a big screen, but it’s not quite as large as its rival at 5.7in. Interestingly it has an 18:9 aspect ratio (yes that’s 2:1) with a 1440×2880-pixel resolution.
We’ll sum up the rumoured specs of each phone below to give you an overview but another interesting element to talk about is the processor. While the Galaxy S8 is expected to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the LG G6 is not and comes with the older Snapdragon 821 instead.
