Stop comparing and enjoy the phones features...yes its not perfect but i can tell you this i like it way more than my samsung note 5.
The operating system kills touch wiz and hate how they fill the phone with garbage that u cant even get rid of..note 5 comes with 4 gig ram but in reality you only have about 1 gig for your apps...

G5 user, 25 May 2016likewise, just try to compare lg g5 and s7 in 0 level brigh... moreBy the way look at these numbers from GSMarena's comparison of G5 and S7:
"The Galaxy S family is known for Super AMOLED displays and the S7 has the latest and greatest incarnation. It's very bright (especially in Auto mode) and flawless even under direct sunlight. The minimum brightness is an impressive 2.1 nits, so checking the phone in the middle of the night is no longer painful."
and here about G5
"Sunlight legibility is better than most LCDs. LG's Assertive Display adjusts pixel colors in real time to improve readability in direct sunlight (it selectively brightens dark areas of the image). In the opposite scenario - pitch black - the screen can go as low as 3.6 nits."
According to this Galaxy S7 can be dimmer at minimum brightness. It will also use less power being SAMOLED vs LG's IPS LCD.

Again, don't take me wrong here, I really like the phone but the screen? Give me a break.

Excellent phone I have ever used. Battery is decent, my phone lasted from 100% to 15% 27.5 hours with 7.5 hours talking, 3.5 hours screen on, normal wifi usage and playstore downloads, little camera usage, messaging and surfing various applications settings of the phone.
Some features I miss from Samsung is like calling and smart dial accuracy and calling dialing interface like no direct 2 sim dial option we have to choose in sim shortcut. And dispaly brightness is low but usable in sunlight. But in low mode we have better control in dark like in bed at night usage we can better control lowing the bright than samsung was not better in lowering in dark.
No dedicated slot for micro sd is downside but we have option to use that is little better. I liked camera, infrared and removable battery over s7.
I'll share more as experience as usage.
