LG G6 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 (€130 price difference)

    I need to buy a new phone as my LG G3 broke, so I have narrowed it down to two phones, the LG G6 and the Samsung S8. Amazon.it have the LG G6 for €450 brand new and the S8 for €580 brand new, both with 2 years warranty. I know there are other options like the OnePlus 5 but I'm not that happy with it considering it's more expensive than the G6 and only slightly cheaper than the S8 but without features like waterproofing and expandable storage.

    I know the S8 is technically the better phone with a better processor, more storage, and a better screen. But I like the G6's wide angle camera and the location of the fingerprint sensor.

    So with the S8 being the overall better phone, is it worth €130 more than the G6? Most comparisons and reviews I read were back when they were around the same price so that was a factor then, but now with such a big price difference, is the S8 noticeably €130 better than the G6?

    I mainly use phones for browsing the internet, taking pictures and the occasional game, so I wonder is the S8's better processor really going to make much difference for me.

    I'd be a bit wary buying from egobal based in Asia Hong Kong I think so if anything goes wrong with the phone you may have to send it back there and you won't be covered by EU consumer law.

    Yeah some of the reviews here are good but they are a few bad ones too.

    I'm not saying they are terrible just be aware of who you are buying from and where it is coming from.

    I agree
    But if you buy a phone in Italy and it goes faulty. Where do you bring it?

    Depends on a number of factors. All I'm saying is the OP won't have the same rights if he bought the phone in the EU because he won't be covered by EU consumer law.
