    But for you, who is taking pictures of people, or not in bright, sunny conditions, the s7 is better. Its better in low light, and its better at taking pictures when things are moving.

    Also, the lg attachments aren't free as far as I know, and we still don't know how expensive they are.

        And that still neglects the fact that people can and do use more than one app at a time. Like if you're listening to music, or downloading something, to give very basic examples most people can relate to.

            Pretty much everything you said is wrong. Firstly, removable battery makes things more difficult. You actually have to turn the phone off and remove it. The s7 edge would easily give you 2 days, so if you're a normal person who sleeps at night you can just charge it then and you'd never have issues. Even if you're using your phone quite a lot and are out all night. If plugging in is too much trouble for your 'hip' lifestyle then use wireless charging, just drop the phone on the night stand. Simple. It also has quick charging

            Then when it comes to audio, most people can't tell the difference and don't even have access to high quality audio. Nothing you stream even comes close. And again, for your 'hip' lifestyle, are you really going to be carrying around a cute little purse with all your attachments in it? And you would still have to take your phone apart and out it back together like a transformer toy in the pub with a pint in one hand, right? Not the easiest thing to do.

            The last thing is zoom. With android phones, if your browsing the web or using the camera, just double tap and hold after the second tap, then you can just move your finger up and down to zoom in or out. Simple, one-handed zooming.

            For your 'hip' lifestyle I don't see why you would want the g5 with its poor primary battery life and various attachments. Plus the camera attachment makes it more than twice as thick, it probably won't fit into your skinny jeans.

                AnonD-476263, 28 Feb 2016If the lg g5 is hexa or octa maybe it's more better than s7 edgeMore cores is BS, Android itself use 4, most apps 1 to 2 (with exception of benchmarks)

                  I am a G3 owner and by extension an lg fan, but my vote goes to S7 edge. At the end of the day what matters is how practical the 2 phones are.the g5 is not a finished product it is an experiment. Well lg just thicked the wrong boxes. Will check out the g6 for now s7 edge here i come.

                    LG G5, no doubt. LG came up with something new which is actually useful. They totally deserved the GSMA award.

                      I appreciate LG for giving us the right to see and check our own mobile phone battery in order not to have a chance for blood-sucking technicians to overcharge us at service centers.

                                  S7 edge of course...

                                    Both are fantastic but I feel that the S7 Edge is more refined.
