LG G5: Ir Blaster Still available in LG G5 (Not anymore available in S7 Last Year was in S6...S5...)

Phone looks really good and the performance seems great...bot the battery life is not so good even if it's removable, never din carry a spare and nor intend to so I prefer a larger battery that lasts all day than removable..the Galaxy s7 edge seems a better proposition even though is a little more expensive, big battery and waterprofing, also the edge screen which not very usefull it brings some nice looks to the phone..wait for the price to drop to more rezonable levels and get that one...personally I have a Nexus 6 which works great and the Nexus 6p should also be considered as is one great device.

"There is good news about the LG G5 performance - it's flagship-grade, capable of handling anything anytime, and it doesn't heat the shell. We ran lots of benchmarks, one after another, and the G5 turned out to be one of the coolest flagships we handled this year. It gets slightly warm, but that's it."
Well done LG!

Whoa! You think there are better cameras out there that capture a lot details, more lights, got faster focus.... you cannot compare them with this wide angle camera. Photos looks no more 2D, you could call it 2.5D since FoV is like that of eyes, looking at these shots it finally feels like you are there in person. I would say that wide 8Mp is best camera in phone available. Shame they do not treat that as main camera, its revolutionary.

Hello. Just want to clarify two things:
1. Read the disclaimer (it's everywhere), and don't judge the battery life just yet. When the final unit arrives, we will test it again. There should be a difference.
2. Yes, the battery is detachable. You have to take it out from the original bottom, and slide it on the Camera or the B&O accessory.

The most interesting flagship, if not the best. It tick all boxes. Removable battery, IR blaster, USB type-C.
B&O DAC module, Rolling bot are also nice..
So bad about the poor batery life. Luckily its removable and Larger Capacity battery module is coming. I hope it wont make the phone look uglier.
S7 is maybe the best, its the piece of beauty, waterproof and samsung pay is the killer features. If samsung pay is a must try, A series also has that feature. If we need more than one phone, Then G5+A5 is a perfect pair.

AnonD-292864, 26 Mar 2016Galaxy S7 beats LG G5 in design, camera, display, battery l... moreDESIGN - every person has own mind, for me G5 > S7 but G5 ~ S7 Edge
DISPLAY - maybe yes, i love Amoled, but LG has one of best displays ever made
BATTERY - i said already
PERFORMANCE - S7 obvious but Exynos variant only
CAMERA - s7 can`t even come closer, why? G5 has w-a camera, better camera soft, ton of capabilities to control camera while s7`s Pro mode still can`t go higher of 800 ISO and 1/8s shutter and just F 1.9 -> 1.7 means nothing :)
SOFT - touchwiz is really pain in ***, while LG`s OUI is just greatly optimized junk :D
MODULAR DESIGN - S7?
WATER RESISTANT - G5? but are you going to bath with your phone? or does you swim with it? pretty stupid thought but it`s needed feature after all, but not top
so, your S7 is not as cool as you think, because G5 is underrated it does not means it`s bad :D i bet u love iphones while it`s crappiest device ever made to fool people :D good luck

In short the entire android smartphone industry is 1 year behind Samsung.... the multi task score of G5 is that of around s6... and s7 is far far ahead.( MAKES ME REMEMBER THE GALAXY S3).. better luck next time qualcomm.

every way? :D S7 beats it only in battery life and performance maybe which it`s still questionable, cuz last year V10 had better optimization in app caching in ram then s6e+ had...
and camera :D s7 camera is crap compared to even s6 (you can see review), just selfie cam and focus speed is increased... so how can you say G5 is lower then s7?
you guys just like Apple cuz it`s apple and Samsung cuz its sammy u know? and underrated phones like G5 which has true potential is lost, very sad

Hate to say, but this is inferior to the s7 in every way. Only thing that sticks out is removable battery. Otherwise there is no reason to buy this over the s7
