Nexus 6 vs LG G3 specs comparison: Which QHD smartphone works better?

Out of all the smartphones in the market today, Google's Nexus 6 is closely similar to LG's G3 in terms of features and specs. Yet these are still two different devices altogether.

One of their similarities lies on the QHD display, which LG could proudly boast being the very first brand to offer such in a mobile device. But there are a lot of things that set the two phones apart.

Here is a detailed comparison between the recently unveiled Motorala Nexus 6 from Google and LG G3:

Google's latest smartphone comes in 32 GB and 64 GB variants with 3 GB RAM, while the G3 is only offered with 16 GB and 32 GB internal storage options, although it will also have 3 GB RAM. However, the memory of LG G3 can be expanded up to 128 GB with the use of a microSD card.
