Although, the new LG G5 and the iPhone 6s both have fingerprint sensors, they are built in different locations. The LG’s sensor is in the back of the phone, which is more convenient if you’re holding your phone with your hands because it comes naturally. As for the iPhone, the sensor is on the front of the phone where the hand has to be readjusted. Not only is the LG’s fingerprint scanner location more convenient, but it has a fast recognition allowing to quickly unlock the phone. Quickness is convenient in today’s daily phone usage, but it is also important to have an efficient phone for prolonged use. Phones degrade after being used for a long time. Someone seeking for a smartphone that last several years should look more in detail about the efficiency and the endurance of a phone’s battery. The iPhone has a non-removable battery that cannot be easily replaced. This is the case due to the phone being built without a removable base. If the battery fails to function the owner has to buy a new iPhone costing him or her an additional amount for a new phone. The iPhone is the worst choice for someone who is looking for a prolonged phone. On the other hand, the LG G5 has a removable battery that can easily be removed and replaced. Additionally, for a long lasting phone, it also needs excellent power. The power of the two smartphones would be their ram and processor. A ram is a type of memory that works at a fast pace, but is volatile, meaning when all electric power is removed it loses all its information. A processor is the speed of the phones, CPU (Central Processing Unit). The iPhone 6s just has 2GB of Ram and an Apple A9 processor while the LG G5 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with a 4 GB Ram. Not only does a phone need an efficient battery and power, but also sufficient storage to make it a good prolonged phone candidate. Sufficient memory storage is greatly important as many use it for music playlists, photos, or video recordings. The LG G5 comes with 32GB internal storage, but one can easily add a MicroSD. With the SD it can boost the space up to 200 GB. Although, the Micro card does not come with the phone and it can be bought separately at a cheap price. The LG G5 has a value of 650 dollars. While the iPhones are factory made, unfortunately it has limited storage and a MicroSD card cannot be added. However, the iPhone comes with a variety of options, such as a 16GB, 64GB, and a 128GB at different prices. The price of the phones ranges from 650 to 850 dollars depending on the amount of storage it contains. Even
