LG G5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: Flagship slugfest

24 February, 2016
This is why we love the MWC - some of the best phones of the year were announced almost side by side. Two of the headliners are the LG G5 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and we know how heated the competition between G-series and Galaxy flagship can get.

Does anyone of you know which image sensor does G5 use? Can't find it anywhere on the net.

        Anonymous, 26 Feb 2016Thanks for showing how much a jealous fanboy you areHaha neither Samsung or LG is giving me anything so no point of becoming jealous.... If i have to buy any of the phone i simply have to pay.. its just what i feel about the device and how i look at technology... Upgrading things is not a big deal.. Cheap Chinese brand are doing the same.. So obviously expectations from Giants are always more... and Samsung didn't makes it up-to the mark...

But there is no way in hell I'm going to base my phone purchase on it. I use my phone way more than I need to use a remote control.
            The best solution is to build the IR blaster in a Android Wear watch and it wouldn't matter what phone you have. Actually I may look at those older Gear watches that have them.

              GSMArena seem to defend the Samsung. But clearly if you watch the 4k video in 4k the LG is much sharper, especially in the Sagrada Familia clips.

              And if you look at the shot in the bar of the glass bottles, the G5 captures much more detail and has a better shot. I've owned everything Galaxy S and Note phone, but I don't think this camera is a big of step forward was Samsung claim it is. In terms of low light and focus speeds yes. But that's about it!

                The LG G5 display really looks washed out in the video. And it lacks the brightness that you see in the S7.

                  I dont know why people so much hate samsung. s7 has a definately better camera. unless you are not blind,there are more details in s7's photos. why people try so hard to defend lg? look at that huge bezel at bottom of their screen. do you like that?

                      Am I the only one who feels that GSMARena always try to defend Samsung by any way in all the review they had.? Clearly LG is better than S7 but i can read one line everywhere "It got more Pixels and its Sharp". Come on.. Technology is not just Pixels, it is how to make our life more convenient.. It is "How new inventions can be done". We are not just stopped on Bulb we had reached LED.. Grow Up Samsung and stop fooling people...

                          consumers change devices every 2years, i doubt anybody will buy new addons for their older devices.

                                In my opinion LG5 has a soul its interesting Samsung is just another super duper phone with cool specs it is ordinary. I prefer LG G5 and updates for LG is more faster Marshmallow goes on LG about christmas on S6 I still waiting, WT.

                                  Why do these guys do all the comparison on auto mode surely you can do better in manual mode use all the power when you have it and I think the g5 won it but would have done even better when all its power had been released
