It's hard to ignore the fact that when it comes to purchasing a smartphone, most think Apple or Samsung. While not as popular as either of the two, Korean-based LG is no slouch either. The company's latest flagship, the G4, just landed Stateside -- here's a look at how it fares against the iPhone 6.

LG G4

Make no mistake, sometimes the biggest difference between handsets is the operating system they run. The LG G4 runs a modified version of Android 5.1 Lollipop with some enhancements and LG-specific features. It's not as smooth or integrated as an iOS experience might be, but it's still solid, and the phone does have a couple standout features.

The G4 features a 1.8GHz 64-bit Hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor along with 3GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage, and support for up to 2TB (that's right!) extra through a microSD.

It's the phone's display and camera, however, that has caught people's attention. The 5.5-inch 2560x1440 display is crisp and hailed as one of the best on the market -- a huge plus for videophiles. The 538 pixels per inch are definitely noticeable.

The 16-megapixel rear-facing camera features image stabilization, laser autofocus, and HDR. Once again, reviewers across the board have found the G4's camera one of the best on the market. The front camera also takes images at an impressive 8 megapixels.

If you want a great display and a solid camera, the G4 is a great Android phone that's priced less than the iPhone or Galaxy S6. Just remember, it doesn't have a metal body.

iPhone 6

But the iPhone 6 does. The latest iteration in Apple's highly successful iPhone lineup comes with a sleek, metallic design that's sure to impress. It's usually the Apple experience that most buy into, including the integrated iOS ecosystem that provides a relatively seamless interaction between photos, videos, contacts, calendars, and more, but the iPhone 6 also packs some firepower.

The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 (and its larger 5.5-inch cousin, the iPhone 6 Plus) house Apple's A8 64-bit chip with an M8 motion coprocessor. The display isn't as crisp, rounding out at about 400 pixels per inch for the larger model, and the iPhone 6 only has 1GB of RAM. Still, none of the specs back the iPhone 6, which still delivers the iOS experience fairly seamlessly.

The cameras on the new iPhones haven't changed much either, with the rear-facing camera still sitting at 8 megapixels. Apple instead chose to fine tune and improve aspects other than the total number of megapixels -- a philosophy that can be found all over the iPhone 6.

Other than its larger size and rounder design, the iPhone 6 still delivers the same Apple experience, and the age-old "iOS vs. Android" debate may be the final one you end up having if choosing between the two.
