These phones are so closely matched, there's not a clear winner. The best way to describe it is with video games, first person shooters. They're kinda like guns, Assault Rifle(G5) and a LMG(S7). the assault rifle more of a general gun and can be used in a variety of situations. It's modular, you can reload quickly and it's good all around. the LMG is more of a power horse. It doesn't need any add-ons, it has a large clip but once it's gone you need to take some time to reload it.
Both can be amazing as long as you know what you need out of a device, so picking a winner is entirely up to personal preference.

Amoled... moreThe point you are missing here is Note 4 or any other Amoled phone didn't have the flexible screen of the Note Edge or S6/S7 edge. The flexible screen is new tech and in my personal experience it has very short life span.

I had no butn in issue in S3, S4 and S5 but my S6 edge's screen is burnt in awfully just after a couple of months use. I am not sure if S7 Edge's screen will be any longer lifetime.

It's an invalid statement in the article that they say AMOLED screen is an advantage of S7 edge.
In fact, AMOLED screen is a disadvantage, because all AMOLED screens have are going to burn in and they have shorter lifespan than LCD.

It is woderful to be able to listen to the radio. My G4 has really good stereo separation and fidelity using only the phones as aerial. Further I can plug it into my hifi at home using an RCA plugs to miniplug adaptor as feed and aeroal and record it and listen at the same time. You cannot do that with a Samsing phone at all.
And even in midecember low light at noon in the shafe in the UK its results from Raw Dng files at 50 iso contain as much detail as those from a 1Ds Canon mk 2. As an expro photographer I was staggerred by its results, only betterred by the 808 Nokia.
At parties and in pubs etc use the flash, u simply cannot expect decent results, though department store lighting is great on the LG at 50 iso.

The S7 captures the dark scenes more accurately.

Neither is an improvement. The S7 uses tiny sensor, half the size of a 2010 nokia N8s which is also 4:3 and 12MP . The G5 is fine in low light you simply reduce shutter speed and shoot raw. The LG is widescreen at 16 mp, far better for photography except headshots.
Additionally the LG has a radio. It records hifi off the radio, and if setup like a V10 , also records 4k video with an infinitely variable frame rate and manual shutter control.If I am wrong, and the video is aitomatic like the G4 buy the V10 instead as it has everything with a built in hifi dac and radio.Samsung is an image brand like the iPhone. Its for jpeg people as their jpeg engine and panorama are superior to LGs.

Ugh, this is definitely the most difficult choice I've had to make for a phone purchase. To me waterproof/dust proof isn't a really big deal to me as I don't have the tendency to wet my phone often, and I don't go to the beach much. My environment isn't very dusty either. Battery life, whatever 7% isn't going to make a HUGE difference for me, but it's nice to be able to swap batteries if neccesary. Quick battery charges kind of make the battery size issue, a non-issue for me. Don't care about curved screens, it's gimmicky to me, 5.1" and 5.3" is not a big difference either. One key thing I like about the S7 is the low light performance. I don't mind not getting DSLR performance from a cell phone camera, it's not suppose to happen, but bad low light pictures really suck. I don't think the G5 is TERRIBLE at this, but from the pictures shown here, the S7 is clearly better at this. The modular area is intriguing, though I'm not CRAZY about the modules LG has yet. The extra 1200mAh the camera module provides is kind of cool, but I rather just carry an extra battery for that. The physical buttons of camera are kinda neat, but unless this module is very cheap, I can't see myself being torn to buy it. I'm inclined to get the G5, but it's a pretty close call.
