Here are the advantages of each smartphone:

LG G7 ThinQ

+ Larger screen size

+ Higher pixel density

+ Higher screen aspect ratio and screen resolution

+ Better performing CPU

+ Better performing GPU

+ expandable storage via SIM 2

+ Wider main rear lens aperture

+ Wide-angle front camera

+ Bluetooth 5.0

+ USB Type-C 2.0

+ 3.5mm audio port

+ IP 68

+ Wireless Charging Support

Huawei P20

+ Larger internal storage

+ Higher secondary rear lens resolution

+ Wider secondary rear lens aperture

+ Higher front camera resolution

+ Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box

+ Larger battery Capacity

From specs alone, we can already see which one has more advantages over the other but, let’s try to discuss each key specifications first.

The G7 ThinQ has a larger screen display with a higher aspect ratio, resolution, and pixel density making it the better pick for users who want to have an excellent viewing experience. Don’t get us wrong, P20 deserves a top spot in this but alas, the G7 just outshines it in this regard.

The P20’s Kirin 970 processor and Mali-G72 MP12 GPU is at par with the Snapdragon 835 and Adreno 540 GPU. However, the G7 ThinQ is equipped with the latest Snapdragon 845 with Adreno 630 GPU which surpasses the already great performance, in terms of clock speeds, of the previously mentioned processors and GPUs. This means that the latter will be the better pick for users who love a powerful machine.

On paper, the G7 ThinQ has a wider main rear lens aperture while the P20 has a wider secondary lens with a higher front camera resolution. We cannot say for certain yet which one has better camera performance but, we’ll be updating this section once we produce sample shots of both.

Both devices have fast charging technology in their arsenal but what makes them different is that the G7 ThinQ supports Wireless Charging which the P20 does not.

The Huawei P20 is priced at Php34,990 while the LG G7 ThinQ is not yet officially priced but we expect that it will land at a competitive range.

    Why was the comparison not between Huawei P20 PRO and the LG G7 thinQ ?

  2. WilliamC says:

    Problem is LG usually price their flagship too high, then drastically drop their price once they don’t sell. I expect the same for the G7.

    Huawei on the other hand, priced their P20 at prices that are almost too good to be true. 35k for the P20 is a steal, considering the specs and the glowing reviews about the camera (probably one of the important selling point to us, picture-conscious Pinoy).
