Today, LG debuted it's newest newest global flagship phone, the G3 . The Android smartphone is a followup to the LG G2 from 2013, which had an unique design which moved the power/lock button and volume controls from the sides of the phone to the back of the device, below the camera lens. The G3 sports that same design, but with a more polished look, complete with a brushed metallic body (available in five colors) and a more mature-looking Android operating system.

The G3 packs the high-end specs we've come to expect in premium phones, and it's perfectly poised to go up against it's top Android competitors, the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 .

With similar eye-popping screens, powerful processors, and capable camera lenses available on all three devices, deciding on which one is best for you really comes down to the extra features, design, and personal brand preference. The LG G3 is no slouch when it comes to extras, with the Knock Code security feature, a front-facing camera designed specifically for selfies, and a high-capacity battery.

Check out the chart below to see how the phone's specs stacks up against its competition, and let us know in the comments below which phone comes out on top for you.
