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.

You know that is more than likely going to reduce the life span of your bat right? The reason these companies don't give you that option anymore (removing the bat), is because they want you to keep upgrading your phone.

                How do you know the G5 is the same cost as the S7? LG hasn't announced the price of it's phone yet! In fact the G4 was at least $50 to as much as $180 less than the S6 when they were both new and I'm pretty confident that will be the same with the G5 vs S7 if not even more of a difference in price for the favor of the G5. You should try not to speak on things you don't know about, because you don't know what you're talking about.

                  The S7 is superior in every way and looks like a finished product. The G5 is more of a prototype being sold to unsuspecting people who don't know better.

                                    I like that the G5 has a wide angle camera. Such a hard decision between the 2. I don't like that LG recycled the camera from the G4 though.

It does better in low-light and it does better when things are moving. The lg has the advantage when you're taking pictures in well-lit places without anything moving, and that's it.

                                        Using 12mp was clearly not a marketing decision, there were very good technical reasons for doing that.

                                        The lg g5 is around the same cost, and if you use the attachments (the only reason to buy the phone), you have to buy them, so the cost is higher than the s7!
