What's going on guys, my name is Wade with tech daily and in this video we're going to be comparing the new LG style six to the Samsung Galaxy, a 71. Now, obviously, these are two very different phones, so this comparison may not be all that fair. But there are a couple of reasons why I wanted to pick these phones up against one another first off in the sort of budget and mid-range space. These are two of the biggest phones you can buy right now, if you like big screens and big phones, you're, probably going to consider one of these two devices and also the style six is sort of a unique phone with that built-in stylus. So I wanted to touch on a couple of the features with that pen and some benefits you might see and having that extra little bonus since there's really only a couple other devices that even offer it there's a lot to talk about, of course, so I don't want to waste any more time, but if you guys are interested in doing some comparison, shopping of your own- or maybe you want to buy one of these devices for yourself, I will have links down below in the video description to where you can get these phones at their cheapest. Current prices so be sure to check down there.
So you don't miss out on any good deals. First things. First, let's talk about pricing and availability, since this is actually an important factor that really separates these phones. The LG style six right now, retails for around 220 bucks, but depending on which carrier you go with, you might be able to get a deal. Boost Mobile, for example, has this phone listed for a hundred and seventy-nine bucks, while T-Mobile and Metro are offering discounts from their two hundred and fifty dollar price point.
If you switch or sign a contract and as far as buying it unlocked the style. Six should be around two hundred fifty bucks when it becomes available from places like Amazon. The 71 is a significantly more expensive device, but since this phone has been out for a while, you could actually get it at a bit of a discount right now. Amazon has the 71 listed for about three hundred and sixty-five bucks unlocked, which is quite a bit cheaper than when this phone first launched, but obviously still way more than the style six. Either way you go you're going to be paying a hundred to $150 more for the 71 and that price difference in this case with these mid-range phones is pretty sniff accan t' physically.
While these phones are both pretty big devices in general, their designs vary drastically and each device has a few distinct features that define it. Size-Wise, the style vi is technically a 6.8 inch device. Well, the 71 is a six point, seven inch phone, but that measurement is strictly referencing. The screen sizes, the style six- is actually quite a bit taller than the 71 by about a third of an inch making it one of the largest and tallest smartphones on the market in general, just by sheer body size. Personally, while I did feel like the 71 was a pretty big phone, it still feels relatively manageable.
It's not for everyone, of course, but the good use of space means you're dealing with mostly screen the style. Six has a thicker body and slightly larger bezels, and those factors contribute to this phone being quite a handful. It's a stretch trying to reach every corner and I know. The stylistics in particular, is not necessarily a device for everyone. Like I mentioned.
The main reason why the style six feels so much bigger than me. A 71 is simply because the body and housing aren't, as slim and streamlined. You've got a larger camera notch across the top versus the smaller camera cutout on the 71. The bezels all around are noticeably thicker and the larger bottom chin in particular, really adds to the extra size and the 71 also has a chunky, boxy body, there's no sloped, edges or curves that try and hide the thickness or attempt to make this phone feel slimmer. It's a thick chunky phone, and you feel that right away, the 71 with its sort of sloping sides and slim edges feels a little more comfortable in the hand because of that contoured body.
Now, even though these are both budget phones, I think both LG and Samsung did a nice job with the materials each device has a plastic rear housing, but the high quality glossy finish and rainbow shine, make it almost look and feel like glass and the polished metal like sides and edges are more design elements that just give off a premium vibe. Well, you obviously aren't getting flagship materials. I think both phones look and feel like high quality devices. There's just nothing cheap about them. Taking a look around at everything.
The left side of the 71 has just the SD and SIM card tray, while the style six has its SD in SIM card tray towards the bottom, as well as a dedicated Google, Assistant button and volume buttons on the right side. Ba 71 has its power button and volume buttons, while the style six has just the power button and down below. Both phones have a headphone jack, USB, C charging port speaker and the stylus. Six obviously also has that built-in stylus, which I'll talk about in just a second around back. Of course, you can see both phones, multi camera setups, which I'll go more in depth with later you'll, also see that the style six has a dedicated rear, fingerprint sensor just below the camera module.
The 71 also has a fingerprint reader, but its sensor is hidden underneath the display on the front. Interestingly enough, both phones do unlock at about the same speeds, though the style six is sensor, is a little easier to feel for and can be more accurate at times. One other thing to note: this year: LG dropped face on lock entirely on this phone, while the 71 still has its face on lock. So if you like that feature, just keep in mind that you won't be finding it on the style 6, so let's now actually talk about the stylus on the style 6, since it's basically the defining feature for this phone, the stylus is housed down below and when you pop it out, you'll have access to a menu of different stylus, related, apps and other shortcuts that pops out on the side of the screen. As far as the stylus specific apps, the style of 6, offers lock screen, memos and dedicated Notes app.
There's draw chat, a coloring book gift capture and a couple other useful tools and apps that make good use of the stylus. You could also just use the stylus to tap touch and swipe your way through the phone. If you want to just use the like your finger. Obviously Samsung has its note device, which I think offers much more stylus related functionality, but unfortunately, Samsung doesn't really offer a truly budget phone with a stylus I. Consider the note 10 light, for example, to still be rather expensive at well over 500 bucks.
The a71 has its own side menu of app shortcuts. You can customize and make good use of, which is nice. But, interestingly enough, even though the stylus 6 is styli is just a simple metal pointer with a rubber tip, you still can't use it on the 70 I'm, not sure if that has to do with the screen protector, or maybe the display itself on this phone, but I just thought that was strange. Now I realize that this stylus on the silo six isn't exactly a groundbreaking feature, and it isn't going to be useful for everyone, but I think if you're buying the style 6 in general, you're likely buying this phone because of the stylus, since there are countless other smartphones on the market, including from LG. That might be better options.
So that's why I feel compelled to mention it. It's not the feature for everyone and me. Don't necessarily think it's a huge benefit over the 71, but for some folks it may very well be the sole reason in choosing this phone when it comes to the displays we're actually dealing with two very different setups and I think this is really the first area we're paying more for the 71 truly gets you something better. The style 6, with its 6.8-inch screen, offers a 24 60 by 1080 resolution, IPS LCD panel, packing in around 395 pixels per inch. The 71, on the other hand, offers a 6 point.7 inches, Super AMOLED screen with a 2400 by 1080 resolution and around 393 pixels per inch. The resolution and pixel density are pretty close and I.
Think in general. Both phones look equally detailed and sharp, but there are two areas in particular where the 71 shines. The first is in color, both with accuracy and saturation. The OLED screen on the 71 offers a more rich looking experience, but I think a more true and accurate view of what's being presented. The second big thing is brightness.
The 71 can get quite a bit brighter than the style 6, and actually I found the style 6 to even be a bit dimmer than last year. Style 5, for whatever reason I know not. Everyone prefers AMOLED to LCD and that's fine, but for me personally, I almost always choose the displays on Samsung's a series phones over most anything else, they're, really that good, and especially in the budget and mid-range space. They offer some of the best displays for the price. One advantage the style 6 does have over the 71 is with the out loud listening experience.
The 71 offers just the one single bottom speaker, while the style 6 has a dual Cairo speakers set up, one down below and one additional one in the earpiece. Well, the 71 still sounds good I'll always appreciate stereo sound, and this isn't something you see on too many other phones in this price range. So when it comes to the out loud listening experience, the style of makes just gets louder. It sounds better and overall has a big advantage in regard to the internal specs. Once again, this is really where you'll see how much more you're getting and going with the more expensive a 71 with the battery.
The stylistics have a pretty respectable four thousand William capacity battery, but the 71 is a bit bigger at 4500 Williams. Neither phone has wireless charging, but while the style six offers 18 watt fast charging, the 71 can utilize Samsung's superfast 25 watt charging standard when it comes to battery and charging in general. The 71 just has the clear advantage inside the LG style 6 offers the MediaTek hello P 35 processors, paired with the GE 8320 GPU 3, gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of built-in storage. The 71 has significantly more powerful specs with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chips at Arena, 618 GPU, either 6 or 8 gigs of RAM. Depending on the model you go with and 128 gigabytes of built-in UFS 2.1 storage. Both phones run Android 10, but obviously they have different skins from their respective companies.
The 71 has Samsung's 1 UI 2, while the style of six has LG's own Android skin and the UI is a bit different. Obviously, with I think LG's experience being a little further from stock Android. Now, when you're, just interacting with the UI and launching stock apps, the 71 is, of course, going to feel a bit quicker and launch IND apps faster. That's no surprise and I think the 71 overall is one of the best bang for your buck smartphones you can buy. When it comes to the specs.
It's really a solid setup. The stylistics might be a bit under powered by 2020 standards, though. To be honest, it is still a decent experience, at least with most stock and simple third-party apps. The big advantage, though, comes when you launch and load more traffics heavy games. I think the a71 is a really solid gaming device, while the style of six has really two issues, in particular launching the apps and attempting to close out of the apps when you're done playing.
It takes the style six significantly more time, just to load up any given game, sometimes a minute or more, when compared to the 71 which is really frustrating Call of Duty mobile, for example. In this test really got hung up on the style of six, while the 71 was ready to play in a rather respectable time, and it was a similar story launching pop G, the silo six just takes so much more time getting to the main screen and that less than ideal processor paired with just three gigabytes of RAM I think is really what holds this phone back now. Fortunately, when you finally do get in a game, I do think the stylistics performs fairly well there's a bit of frame dropping from time to time and a tiny bit of lag every once in a while, but in general the silo 6 can play games comfortably, though I think I'd still prefer to have the 71 in general. Simply because it's a totally consistent experience- and it is probably one of the best gaming devices you can buy under 400 bucks. The bottom line, though, is this: if you're just going to use the phone for simple stuff like social media web browsing, YouTube, videos, things like that, the stylistics is probably fine and even playing games its decent too, but for speed and performance, and also for longevity.
The 71 is just a far better investment. There's no comparison when it comes to the camera. Setups. Both LG and Samsung have made some big improvements. There budget lines by adding more lenses, more features and more capabilities, though once again I think the 71 is going to have the clear advantage around back the style six packs, a 13 megapixel main lens, a 5 megapixel ultra-wide shooter and a 5 megapixel depth sensor for portrait shots.
The 71, on the other hand, has a really impressive 64, megapixel main lens 12 megapixels ultra-wide, lens 5, megapixel depth sensor and an additional 5 megapixel macro lens for super close-up photography in general. The 71 is going to be the better picture taker based solely on the specs, but it goes beyond just that. The 71 has significantly or shooting modes features and capabilities, and that partly has to do with the camera specs and partly has to do with a better internal processing power. You can shoot 4k video, both with the rear lens and the selfie camera on the 71. Well, you can't do that with either on the style 6.
The 71 also has night mode, which is very useful. There's a couple slow motion modes and an additional macro lens, like I mentioned overall, the 71 I would argue, it's probably closer to even a flagship camera setup than a budget, one well the style of 6, even though it is certainly much improved over this time of 5. It's still a 20/20 budget, smartphone camera with the selfie cameras. Things are a little closer. The style 6 packs of 13 megapixel lens, while the 71 has a 32, megapixel shooter and while the 71 might seem like it could have more potential.
The results are actually pretty similar. Both phones offer a comparable amount of detail. They aren't the best selfies in the world, but they're pretty good, and when we move over to a portrait, shot I do think once again, both phones did a decent job with skin tone detail and separating the foreground and background, though you can tell that it's not exactly perfect. My biggest takeaway here, though, is that, while Samsung's selfie pictures are much improved, the style of sticks is a massive upgrade over last year and something I was pleasantly surprised with, though I don't think either phone competes with any higher-end device when it comes to selfies. All in all, it's no secret that the 71 is the better device pretty much from start to finish, but really I.
Think there are two things worth considering. The price of the 71 is pretty significant, we're talking about more than a $350 device versus the silo 6, which could be bought for 250 bucks or even cheaper, maybe even under 200. That I think is a bargain for this phone honestly, and it makes it a good purchase. In addition to that, this is one of really only three or four phones that has the built-in stylus and for most people seriously considering this phone, that's likely the deciding factor I personally, rather have the 71 for its performance and specs, as well as its potential longevity, but I suspect that a lot of people will be getting the style of 6 this year and I still consider it to be a solid phone. So there you go.
