The Apple iPhone 6, like all other Apple devices, is genuinely classy. With its high-end aluminum casing, LG G3's faux metal plastic is clearly no match. Nevertheless, LG G3 also looks quite handsome.

The Apple's flagship is the company's kickstarter in their full-sized handset line-up. Its screen display measures 4.7 inches diagonally. Nevertheless, the LG G3 trounces this with its 5.5-inch display. This, however, makes the Apple iPhone 6 slimmer and lighter, gauging 6.9 mm and 129 grams, respectively. The LG G3 looks bulky beside the iPhone 6 with its 8.9-mm thickness and 149-gram weight.

The larger of the rivals delivers 1440 x 2560 pixels generating 538 ppi pixel density. Apple brings 750 x 1334 pixels at 326 ppi. The resolution offerings are very much attuned to the phone's display size, which means sharp and crisp details are expected of the two. Even so, LG G3 has bit of the upperhand in this department.

The LG handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 clocking in at 2.5 GHz. The Apple packs an A8X processor. This is a native Apple craft that guarantees faster loading and eliminates lags and crashes. The LG G3 offers 2 GB and 3 GB of RAM, unique to its storage capacity of 16 GB and 32 GB, respectively. Its rival offers half of that RAM at 1 GB. Bigger storage capacity, however, comes from the iPhone 6. There is a 16 GB model, 64 GB and 128 GB.

The shooters declare LG G3 the winner. It has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2.1-megapixel front snapper. The iPhone 6 sports only an inbuilt 8-megapixel primary shooter and a 1.2-megapixel for the front. The LG G3 has laser-based autofocusing, which the iPhone 6 lacks. Other noteworthy features include the fingerprint sensor or the Touch ID integrated in the iPhone 6 and dual window setting on LG G3 that allows split screen multitasking.

LG G3 continues to wow with the battery life span. Housing its 3000 mAh battery can make the phone usable for 19 hours. With the 1800 mAh battery, the iPhone 6 can stay alive for 14 hours maximum.

Finally, the question now is the sort of price tag attached to both phones. The LG G3 requires a $600 shell out in exchange for its remarkable specs and build. The 16 GB iPhone 6 costs $199 with a contract. Upgrading the storage capacity entails $100 more.
