Design

LG V20 is a supposed full metal body device and sports good design aesthetics as well as looks, while same can be said for the Samsung’s latest Galaxy Note 7 handset.

The second significant difference in design is the Stylus, which is absent from V20 and is present in Note 7.

Though, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 did seem to be quite good in performance. Samsung handset has a fingerprint sensor on the home button, which is located on the front, while the home button of LG V20 is on the rear, which also houses the fingerprint sensor.

Software

Which makes it the first in the industry to come with latest Android flavour. Samsung, on the other hand, has put TouchWiz UI based on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which is the last year’s Android flavour.
