The Apple iPhone 6 Plus has gotten itself a competition in the form of LG's most recent curved smartphone, the G Flex 2. For many, display alone is already the deciding factor. However, others believe that there's more to these heavyweights than meets the eye, as they say. So today, it is LG vs. Apple in a flagship face-off. 

Physically, Apple's bestselling flagship looks classier. The Cupertino-based company's staple aluminum casing along with ultra-thin unibody is the perfect formula only the tech firm seems to pull off. It is much thinner at 7.1 mm as its rival is 9.4 mm thin. However, Gizmag notes that the measurements are a bit "skewed" with this one. Measuring the LG G Flex 2 from its top to bottom edges, it is surprisingly as thin as Apple's first large-screened iPhone. In addition, it is the lighter handset, weighing only 152 g. The iPhone 6 is at 172g. It goes without saying that LG G Flex 2 looks rather unique with its bent build. 

Both phones went for a 5.5-inch screen. The LG G Flex 2 expectedly sports a curved P-OLED display that renders a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and a 403 ppi pixel density. This iPhone 6 Plus bears the same pixel resolution but slashed things a bit in its 401 ppi pixel density.

Peeking under their hoods, users should realize that the iPhone 6 Plus and the LG G Flex 2 are basically on par. Although it looks like LG wins this one for its 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor (it is the first device to ever pack the latest unit) clocked at 2 GHz, it is worth noting that the iPhone's 64-bit dual-core A8 processor set at 1.4 GHz should perform as excellent as the LG device. The iPhone 6 Plus went for a 1 GB RAM. The LG G Flex 2 doubles that. In terms of memory capacity, the iPhone 6 Plus offers more options: 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. The curved LG handset has a 16 GB and a 32 GB model. These ROMs, fortunately, can be expanded up to 128 GB with an SD card. 

Camera-wise, the LG G Flex 2 easily brings it home with its 13-megapixel rear-facing shooter. Notably, the iPhone 6 Plus' 8-megapixel should take great pictures as well. The units facilitate HD video recording as well as optical image stabilization. For the selfie fix, the LG G Flex 2 takes care of it with its 2.1-megapixel snapper while the iPhone 6 Plus houses a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera. 

The LG G Flex 2 is likely to outlast the iPhone 6 Plus. The former packs a 3000 mAh battery while the latter makes use of a 2915 mAh unit. Additionally, the LG smartphone uses fast charging technology to juice up, reviving 50 percent of the battery life in about 40 minutes.

The LG G Flex 2 was released this month with a 600 euro ($680) price tag, as per GSM Arena. The iPhone 6 Plus, which had the Apple community go wild upon its release in September last year, is around the same price.
