LG G5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: Low-light shooting

04 April, 2016
The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and the LG G5 both come outfitted with some great cameras, which should potentially bring low-light photography with a smartphone on the next level. We set out on foot on the streets of New York to put these two to the ultimate camera test - their image quality when it comes to shooting in the dark.

Hey GSMARENA...why not add a link to a full list of the latest phones section instead of just 6 phones.

    Although I'm an LG fan this doesnt matter. Samsung has already sold a record number of phones. Ultimately that is what matters. I hope LG makes a really great device next year and capitalize on their modular technology and bring the phone to market before the next Samsung flagship.

            This is not a big surprise LG has shown they've been super efficient with the imaging with the great LG G4 as well as the LG V10. This just makes the decision for me even harder. I'm waiting for the Xperia X and the HTC 10 and then I'll make my choice.

                Dear samsung fanboys it's okay to cry sometimes just go to the corner of your room and cry as loud as you can.

                  Whoever conducted this comparison is obviously heavily biased...

                  The LG G5 is good but the S7 edge is vastly superior... The G5 cannot even render foliage properly to save its life... Plus LG has a tendency to constantly use that horrid over sharpening effect to give the illusion of better detail - unfortunately more often than not the images end up looking artificial...

                    Stunning photos by both smartphones. Which is better? LG G5 hands down. The color was significantly better overall in G5. S7 is not that far behind though. Ppl will love these phones. G5 all the way!!

                      So, this should shut-up Sammy fanboys in this forum who keeps on saying S7/S7 edge has better camera than G5, HOPEFULLY.

                        The lights on the last sample of S7 looked horrible though, imo.

                          Not surprising at all. LG has been kicking Samsung's nuts every year since LG G2. By now Samsung is not even fertile anymore. :p

                            I thought I was getting the best I could with the S7 Edge, but the LG is really kicking butt here IMO. I wish I had seen this before. Although, I still dislike back-side fingerprint sensors so I don't feel as bad as I could.. :-D

                                wow, earlier I thought S7's camera was better than G5's. Seems I was wrong. LG G5's camera is far better than the S7. Great LG ! Keep moving the things forward.
