LG optimus one is a better specification phone so of course, it is expected to have better performance.
samsung on the other hand is more popular.
i would personally suggest going for optimus one as it comes with 2.2 preloaded. it is not clear when
Galaxy 3 would get
android 2.2 update.

as for battery life... android devices have terrible battery life. if you compare it to the
iPhone. of course, if you are upgrading from dumbphones, you are going to be shocked at how much battery the display consumes.
i have to put my nexus one on the charging dock pretty much all the time.
samsung is good in terms of service...currently i have samsung corby and on heavy usage battery lasts for 2 days...
few months ago i dropped it and it started to hang and some times restarted also, so i went to the service center and they replaced the board and gave me the handset in just 3 days...
hmm i dont know how is the after sales service of LG... so i will not take risk
some one on gsmarena said that optimus has some problem with calls... other person is not able to hear properly..dont know if its a mic problem or wat.
but lg has better specs and it will also get android 2.3 update... so its a plus point for optimus
