Our Verdict

Samsung RS27T5200SR

LG LS27T3230S

The LG LS27T3230S is a more versatile fridge than the Samsung RS27T5200SR. The LG and Samsung have similar total space, with the LG having marginally more freezer space and the Samsung slightly more fridge space. That said, the LG does maintain more consistent freezer temperatures, and its in-door ice maker produces ice faster and can hold more ice.
