AnonD-442781, 07 Mar 2016Amoled is better (in terms of efficiency, colour accuracy, ... moreYou are wrong.
IPS is better than Amoled. Amoled suffers from burn in problem. All Amoled is going to burn in. The colors will become distorted over time. It has much shorter lifespan than IPS. ...

S7's design is horrible. Glass body which will break and scratch. The battery is non-remoable, so you can't replace it when the battery has degraded, bulged and won't hold a charge (because batteries degrade over time). Your other points are useless gimmicks.

Right. S7's camera is better than G5's. But you forget that in 2015 the LG phones had the best phone camera in the world (G4 and V10). They are better than S6 and Note 5 camera.

And it's fact that today LG and Samsung phones have the best camera. They are way ahead of the rest of the competition.

    Witnessing a "fight fraticida" between the two big names in the industry mobile phones. Each manufacturer either Samsung, LG, either have both phones, and cell phones that leave much to be desired.
    Personally appreciate, correctly and honestly, all the good things done by the two companies.
    Both phones S7, LG5 and, are good, .....very good.
    Maybe I'm subjective, but to me, it matters so much, that the phone has FM radio.

      You also didn't mention the superior design, less bezels, and ip68.
      And the fact that the camera is overall better.

        The only advantages of Galaxy S7 are

        - heat pipe cooling:
        it allows the CPU/GPU to give constant performance, less prone to throttling
        - gaming features:
        you can reduce the resolution and framerate for power saving purpose and to improve the gaming performance

        Those 2 features are what I miss from LG G5.

        The advantages of G5:
        - removable battery
        - FM Radio
        - IPS display instead of AMOLED
        - infrared port

        So LG G5 is better overall than S7, but G5 is not impressing at all. It's only advantage compared to LG V10 is the Snapdragon 820 SoC. If V10 had S820, it would be the best phone.

        Moreover, we have to admit that the "magic slot" isn't that good.

        The "magic slot" of LG G5 is gimmick, pointless and useless. Why? Because most flagship phones aready have a magic slot. It's called: microUSB port with USB OTG support.

        Also you can watch TV without internet connection by using DVB-T TV tuner.

        This is what I call a real magic slot.

                  The winner will be, LG 5. You will see shortly. People will really make the difference between the two phones.
                  To be clear to everybody, I'm no fan of LG, nor has his Samsung.

                      The differences between the two phones little and. Basically they are similar. I can say that the LG has a slight advantage as it has FM radio.
                      In real life, we would look at really what's best. After 5 or 6 months.

                        I said, and Iisay again, it is too early to make an accurate and impartial analysis, between the two phones. Can discuss at teoretic level, only. Each of the phones they good and bad sides.
                        Only their behavior in a real environment, the everyday, we will show who is the best at the earliest, for over 3-4 months.
                        Only sales we will look, in no more than six months, which is the trend really, actually, which is better between the two phones.

                          To see who will win this "battle" between the two phones, i consulted the book of magic and the answer was .... LG 5 in finally....Truth.
                          He who laughs last, will be the WINNER, so say a wise.
                          Never mind the money publiicity (advertising), that moment may give an erroneous impression, counts just like when people will come into contact with the two phones, the real, say that in the end, most of people will buy LG 5, even though in the first instance buy S7, they will realize that or tricked, and in the end will buy a good phone, LG 5.

                            Bring back the FM radio.
                            For those who listen to the radio, it makes no sense to buy one of the most expensive smartphones and lose a free and popular way to get the news, listen to music and entertainment stuff.
                            I vote for LG G5. The other feature battles do not matter while Samsung keep removing the radio from their flagships.

                                  Rather the LG G5 than any Samsung had too many problems with Samsung handsets and I'm not the only one in my family to do so. Lg much better than samsung. Even sony is better than any samsung. And I do love the lgg5 it has everything going for it. shame that andriod's software that is the problem and it could be a lot better they need to sort out battery drain when on Wi-Fi it does not matter what handset it drains the battery if they could sort out the power drain with Wi-Fi then it would make the handset's a lot better. Sony Xperia Z5 battery life last 3 days if you don't use Wi-Fi at all just a shame that their camera OS need a lot of work other than that as I said lg sony are much better than any samsung mobile.....
