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.

    how can u say that lg5 is better? have u see the last 3 photos at 1:1?
    the same for the other photos that have only a wrong exposure but capture more details
    the best image quality is not decided with the auto settings but with the optimal setting

      Please, don't sweat for the winner. It's just a test for the camera on both phones.
      Whatever your choice is - be it G5 or S7 - there are pluses and minuses.
      And when it came to minuses, there will always be an app or two to help.

      Just admit it, you sweat over your fave phone but in reality you don't and won't produce NationalGeographic grade shots, right?

      Real photographers will produce great result with their gears of choice, whatever their choices are. While trollers and flamers and obnoxious debaters will forever take useless selfies or anything "just ok" shots. But in the end, internet users (myself included) still need these silly users just for fun & laughs. ;)

          Hi, 10 Apr 2016These fanboys can't just soak it up that their flagship S7 ... moreLol. The lg fanboys equally cant handle that the s7 still had advantages egen in dynamic range in some. And that this was only a few scenarios. And that in true low light the S7 had the biggest advantage seen in the whole comparison.

            These fanboys can't just soak it up that their flagship S7 has been beaten by G5. Samsung last mattered before and during S3 to S5 series plus the Active models, Note Series plus the Note Edge, their fans keep on ranting that Apple iSheep phones are copies of their innovation when they also copied things from other brands.

                Cameras don't resize anymore to get you a 16:9 aspect,the sensor of G5 itself had a 16:9 aspect ratio.

                                  Hopefully that god-awful review of G5 build quality on youtube was specific to the chick reviewing it. Otherwise it would ruin the overall experience on G5.
