For sure the both beasts are sleek and attractive smartphones. Still Note 4 is not so far from the traditional design of samsung smartphones specially flagships but some changes have been made in it. Metallic frame has been a tremendous change in note 4 which makes it evolve from note 3 and S5. The back panel of Note 4 is same like Note 3’s back panel which is a leatherette plastic panel. The sleek edges and silverlines add a classy look to it.
On the other side if we consider LG G3, Its come with curved back panel which makes it more easy to fit in user hands as compared to Note 4 and it is also a smaller device in size than note 4. Whereas LG G3 have a metallic back cover and have all the hardware buttons at its back.

This is the main point where the fun starts. The LG G3 comes with a first 5.5″ QHD Display having the pixels more than your television that is 2560x 1440 pixels, It was stunning quality but here it have some issues, it was less bright when compared to Note 4 but still its softer tone was amazing. Galaxy Note 4 also have a QHD 5.7″ Amoled Display but less density/pixels as compared to G3. But it have more high brightness, contrast and saturation which makes it the best display we have ever seen.
