Nobody knows. If both are meeting apples QC it’s likely they’ll be exactly the same, or so similar it would take an extremely trained eye to spot. LG because it doesn’t have as much experience may produce more faulty panels, but the good ones will be the same. Samsung’s been producing quality panels longer so people are assuming they’ll be superior.
I’m personally hoping for an A9 type situation where everybody held Samsung to the sun until they got their foot in their mouths. That was fun.
I will upgrade for a bigger phone alone. 6.5 inch device will do nicely.
Product Red is a seasonal color, not a September iPhone Keynote ‘launch color.’ Also, its rumored this year, LG will be supplying OLED panels in addition to Samsung’s OLED displays.
Based on the current rumor mill, doesn't really sound like there is anything that would make me want to upgrade. I bought my X only about 2 months ago and really enjoy it...which is interesting because I actually returned a X back in November 2017 after trying it for a couple weeks.
Sure the internal hardware will be upgraded/faster, but nothing that the average phone user (myself) would really notice in day to day use. I suppose significantly improved battery life might be a feature many users could end up taking advantage of...but me personally, most days I come home with no less that 50% charge remaining anyway.
As others have expressed, there would have to be something significant and novel to get me to want an upgraded phone.

Currently on the iPhone 7 w/ 256 GB.
And I really can’t even imagine any feature that could potentially make me want to upgrade.
The phone is already slightly too large for comfort. It requires two hands to safely operate and type to prevent risk of dropping it.
The iPhone 5 was just about right size wise.
We’ve hit a point where phones have already become about as amazing as is possible without a huge change in direction. There’s just really only so much this type of technology can do. It’s all essentially tweaks and software.
We’ve hit a point where there just isn’t going to be a massive wow factor announcement.
Pretty much what I’m waiting for is a fully interactive Virtual Reality phone / Computer.
Something I can go about my daily life without having any physical handheld device that I need to physically hold or carry.
If I want to make a call, I speak to call and it happens. I hear their voice, they hear mine. I have no physical device I’m holding or interacting with.
If I want an app, I speak it, and it shows up holographically in front of me. And I can touch the points in the virtual hologram to interact or control the screen to make things happen.
Maps show up visually in front of me, I can zoom, turn the image, see as much or little as I want. Have it as big as I want since the only limit is my range of visual space (no physical screen to limit size).
Can see all levels of depth in front of me as if I was there. More as you zoom in.
All apps work similarly.
Now... when that phone is released, then I’m in the market for an upgrade.
Until then, I expect this phone is perfect for me until it either doesn’t work, or Apple forces abandonment (more strictly than the whole 32-BIT cutoff), or my carrier won’t allow it on the network anymore.
There’s really only so much the current path can do. The I gotta have it factor really disappeared at the iPhone 3 level for me.

The size increase. I have an iPhone X but I’m going to upgrade to the iPhone X plus. I like bigger phones and the X is too small.
A bigger sized X would definitely be welcome, but that alone isn’t enough to get me to upgrade.
The X gave me all the things I was missing from the 7: OLED, reduces bezels, and wireless charging. I can’t really think of anything substantial that’ll get me to make the plunge next month.
But, if there really is something amazing about the new iPhone, I’d consider it.
