Yes, I am talking about LG Optimus G Vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I have already discussed about LG Optimus G (eagerly awaiting in market). But without giving any room or breath to LG, Samsung has produced another top Smartphone named as Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which has recently launched in market. Let’s find out how they stand head to head with each other.

Comparison between two best Smartphone :

 

There are lots of points like design, display, multimedia, technology, battery, Internet features, connectivity, multimedia, camera and many more but I will discuss those points which contain major differences between both of them.

So in this section both are giving neck to neck fight to each other. But its time for result :

And Dimension wise- LG Optimus G is at EDGE as it weighs less.
