I just picked up a couple of $130 Costco LG Stylo 3 Plus phones as last-minute stocking stuffers, where I ran the following hardware-only comparison below.
I try to always only speak valid verifiable fact on Usenet.
Did I do a fair hardware comparison below of the two stocking stuffers? If not, what hardware spec comparison did I miss?
(NOTE: It's not fair to iOS to perform an app functionality comparison because there are scores of app functionalities on Android all by its itty bitty self not on iOS and none on iOS not already on Android - so this is only about the hardware comparison because all iOS devices lose in an app-functionality comparison to almost any Android phone).
*HARDWARE COMPARISON OF STOCKING SUFFERS: iPhone 7 Plus vs Stylo 3 Plus:* Price: The Stylo was $130; while the iPhone is ~$670 (~five times more!) CPU: The Stylo has 8 cores; while the iPhone has only 4 CPU top speed: iPhone is 2.34GHz for 2 cores; Stylo is 1.4GHz for 4 cores CPU lower speed: iPhone is 1.1GHz for 2 cores; Stylo is 1.1GHz for 4 cores Storage: Both are 32GB Expandable: Stylo expands to 2TB; iPhone is missing this functionality Screen size: Stylo is 5.7 inches; iPhone is 5.5 inches Display type: Both are IPS LCD Pixel density: iPhone is 401ppi; Stylo is 386ppi Screen resolution: both are the same at full HD 1080x1920 pixels Main camera: Stylo rear camera is 13MP, while the iPhone 7 is 12MP Selfie camera: iPhone is 7MP with flash; Stylo is 5MP with flash Video: both are the same full HD at 1920x1080pixels at 30fps Wi-Fi: both are the same at 802.11 everything up to ac, dual band VoLTE: both are the same NFC: both have NFC Sensors: both have the same stuff Bands: both have what is needed for the T-Mobile carrier we often use Bluetooth: both are the same spec at version 4.2 Battery ease: Stylo is removable; while the iPhone 7 is not Battery capacity: Stylo is 3080mAh, while the iPhone 7 is 2900mAh but no RAM: iPhone 7 is 3GB while the Stylo is 2GB Fingerprint sensor: iPhone 7 is on front; Stylo is on the back SIM: Both are single nano SIM Network: Both seem to support the same networks Stylus: Stylo has a stylus; iPhone 7 is missing this functionality FM Radio: Stylo has an FM radio; iPhone 7 is missing this functionality Headphone: Stylo has a courageous jack; iPhone 7 is lost functionality Wordsize: Both are 64-bitDid I miss an important hardware spec to compare the two phablets?
The specs seems similar but the price is a whopping 5X difference.
As stocking stuffers... Q: Which do you think, based on hardware, has better price:performance?
