Weekly poll: LG G5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7

03 April, 2016
Yes, we know we sort of did that already.

Sort by:

Maverick75, 04 Apr 2016I have same opinion like you. LG reply by Ken Hong is real... moreLG lied badly already and now they try making excuses. If you watch the teardown of LG G5, you will realized that that smartphone was made entirely of cheap plastic. LG G5 doesn't deserved $700 pricetag.

    AnonD-522274, 04 Apr 2016Sammy phone is the most ugly phone in the world and very of... moreof course their PHONES is quite UGLY as hell with those keypads or that resistive touch JVS software all alone. But yeah! LG G5 deserves only the title of being best PHONE in the world with those light bleeding display issue, cheap plastic build, terrible design language and that bendable bottom. yeah sure! You must have an eye check first because your comment is other way around :D

          Sammy phone is the most ugly phone in the world and very often cat copy.
          But LG G5 is ultimately unique phone and the best phone in the world.

There is a statement from LG about it if you search the internet. It feels nice in the hand IMO, so I honestly don't care what its made out of. People who put cases on their phones, it matters even less.

              AnonD-448401, 04 Apr 2016ya you are right man.nice to see someone who actually looks... morethe only plus to usb 3.1 aka type c is the fact that is has a 5amp 20volt for charging , which now days wireless and usb 2.0 fast charge 3.0 are close to capable of. you really shouldn't ever mention data rate in the same frame for connectors on a cell phone, makes a person look less knowledgeable then there trying to pretend to be.

              usb 3.1(type C) MAX data throughput 10Gbps (1GBps)
              usb 2.0 MAX data throughput 480Mbps(48MBps)

              you would see the difference so great on a computer and other high end storage devices.

              but for those that cant live without there SD card, here is a break down for you.

              The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:

              Class 2 20Mbps (2MBs)
              Class 4 40Mbps (4MBs)
              Class 6 60Mbps (6MBs)
              Class 8 80Mbps (8MBs)
              Class 10 SD card 100Mbps (10MBs)

              the UHC memory standard or the ultra fast sd cards are class 1 and class 3

              Class 1 100Mbps (10MBs)
              Class 3 300Mbps (30MBs)

              as long as people keep demanding there phone also have SD cards in them, there is no real reason to have such a fast data connection. now the UFS 2.0 internal memory that samsung uses that could have used a type c connector.

                AnonD-448401, 04 Apr 2016ya you are right man.nice to see someone who actually looks... moreSamsung critisized a lot just like what you did. everything are critisized by everything, by everyone if the flaws leak or if the fanboys fire upon no matter what.

Unlike LG who is desperate to sell by lying on you about things you expected that it could be. I dont want to be cheated! Only stupid people will support this kind of company like LG. Seriously G5 is made out of metal un-body and found out it is not the case.

                        Without a doubt the Samsung is a top shelf phone BUT

                        The clumsy home button and reversed capactive buttons are a deal breaker for me.

                        The Lg G5 camera is a fantastic substitute for my $4000 Dslr and $1400 Nikon Ultra wide lens, that 1 thing is a WIN WIN WIN NO MATTER WHAT deal for me!

                        Samsung brings to the table a fantastic product but not worth the money for most people over phones of the last 3 years.

Ohms? How obvious was the damage to the phone when you were testing it? Or are the the first electronics engineer to do an electrical resistance check on a polymer paint? congrats if you were. So I have to assume you scratched up the surface at 2 points so you could test the unibody underneath? so is it visible now? what really disturbs me though is a polymer paint ? if it fades or starts to peel , does the underlying mtal match the paint itself , or is it going to start looking real ugly if you rub it across the table to many times?

                                        LG G5 is step backward, insted having 2 camera, they should have 1 camera 1 inch or 1/1 like lumix or nokia 1020 and have 1.6 aperture, then no phone will beat it, at least galaxy s7 have the best autofocus and bigger aperture so the win is for s7

                                        i have lg g4 i stick with it till i see bigger camera sensor size for low light and less noise then i upgrade, i do not believe any new phone improved by WOW factor to upgrade all stick with similar sensor size which is small and crap for low light instead they bring few gimmick and they advertise their phone as its new and best which is not worth upgrade at all
