Released less than a week ago, on November 15, 2010, the LG Quantum has already generated a large buzz by people interested on how it will do against other smart phones released this year, including Apple's iPhone4. The LG Quantum is designed as a middle of the road smart phone, which means it is not meant to directly compete with high end phones such as the iPhone4. Nonetheless, people are curious about how the two phones compare, and the short comparison is that while the iPhone4 offers more features than the LG Quantum, it also costs more, which may or may not justify purchasing it over the Quantum.
The first step to comparing both smart phones is to compare how much of a dent they will each make in your wallet if you purchase one, the other, or both. The LG Quantum is available on the AT & T network, and if you take advantage of every rebate and discount offered by AT & T and LG, you can have the phone in your hands for a two year contract for the price of $200.
In comparison, if you want to bring the iPhone4 home, you will either have to fork over $200 on contract if you want it with 16 GB of internal storage or you will have to pay $300 on contract if you want it with 32 GB of storage. If you purchase the 16GB version then it will cost the same as the LG Quantum, which also has 16 GB of memory. Therefore, if memory is the only thing that's important to you, you will probably want to go with the iPhone4, since it offers additional features the LG Quantum just can't compete with.
However, if you don't want to use the iPhone4 or if you aren't a fan of the iPhone's operating system, iOS 4, you will be better suited with the LG Quantum no matter what. If you buy it, the Quantum comes with a lower resolution screen compared to that of an iPhone4. The iPhone4's touch screen display is 3.5 inches in size and comes with a whopping 960 x 640 resolution that few, if any, other smart phones currently on the market can compete with. In comparison, the LG Quantum comes with a 3.5 inch display, but the resolution it offers is not nearly as high as that of the iPhone4.
Both smart phones come with a healthy set of accessories provided by their respective manufacturers and 3rd party retailers both on and off the internet. With the LG Quantum accessories are likely to be cheaper, since Apple products and accessories tend to be more expensive. You can buy an case, chargers, extra batteries, screen protectors, and other devices to help enhance your productivity and ability to get work and play done while you are on the road.
