The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the LG G2 are undeniably two of the top-of-the-line monster-sized smartphones released this 2013. And if you are dying to make your next upgrade before the year ends, then these two handsets are definitely the best options out there right now. Thus, we pitted one against the other two give you a clear idea on the things that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 couldn't do compared to the LG G2 and vice versa.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 over LG G2
If you are a die-hard fan of monster phones then the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is one of the best options in the market today. Sporting a 5.7" 1080p Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy Note 3's screen delivers outstanding viewing angles even in broad daylight. On the other hand, the LG G2 sports a relatively smaller 5.2" True HD-IPS + LCD display. Either way you can't really tell the difference on the quality of display between the two when placed in bright and dark areas, but if, again, you are a fan of way bigger screens, then Samsung's latest Note installment is the better pick.
Another thing that gives the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 its own identity above other smartphones is the fact that it is the only phablet or 5-incher that comes with a stylus. Samsung's stylus has definitely improved over the years, and we can say that Note 3's stylus is way better than those found in its predecessors. What's more is that the Galaxy Note 3 comes with certain S Pen functions that enhance the over-all user experience.
Speaking of performance, if you are after a smartphone that can handle multi-tasking efficiently, then you don't need to look any further. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3, aside from sporting a second-to-none processor, chipset, and GPU, it comes with 3GB of RAM that ensures fast and smooth multi-tasking, as opposed to the LG G2 which only has 2GB of RAM. However, we are not saying that the G2 cannot handle multiple tasks efficiently, it's just that the Note 3 outshines the other when viewed objectively.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with v4.3 of the Android Jelly Bean OS, making it the first phablet if not the first smartphone to come with the latest version of the Jelly Bean OS out of the box. On the other hand, LG G2 just follows behind with its competitive v4.2.2 Android Jelly Bean OS.

The LG G2 is all about design. The first thing that you will notice when putting this handset side-by-side the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is its almost bezel-free design. It makes the over-all build of the smartphone stunning in many ways than one. Alongside which, you cannot compliment this handset's design without noticing that albeit its humungous screen, it's over-all size is relatively smaller compared to other 5-inch+ smartphones.
If you are more interested in a smartphone that has a more unique design, then the LG G2 is obviously the device for you. This Android gadget takes pride on its compact build that packs in superb if not stellar features. LG's approach to this phone is clearly different from its previous phones. It is LG's first smartphone to have its physical buttons placed on its back. Alongside the camera and LED flash are the physical buttons such as the volume rocker and the unlock button. LG even claims that this is a product of its search for a more ergonomic design that is more functional and beneficial to the hands.
Now taking a look at the beautiful display of these phones, you can't really tell the difference since both gadgets have 1080p HD display. Nevertheless, once you put them one close to the other, you'll notice how more vibrant and vivid the LG G2's display is. This is because LG managed to incorporate 424 ppi to its handset as opposed to Samsung's Note 3, which has 386 ppi of pixel density.
Finally, because of LG G2's smaller form, it is undeniably lighter than Samsung's latest Note smartphone. At 143 grams, the G2 feels lighter when holding it alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which weighs 168 grams.
