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.

    Great great great. Next time you should learn accepting the bitter truth. The lg g5 has the best all round smartphone camera. The gs7 is also a great camera but Peaple let's be honest... Who has read that review on android central? Was that guys that reviewed the g5 payed by samsung or? Smh

          Still didn't understood why reviewers fear to add reference image from Dslr so that one can compare honestly

          This is one of the rare biased reviews I have come across on GSMArena

          Reviewer is comparing 2 cameras and giving the edge which has pleasant colors I mean wtf pleasant colors instead of going for actual site colors and dynamic range going for what u think pleasant

          And guys after keen observation u will find that at night shots LG was ahead when it was on a tripod due to its auto mode algorithm which tend to keep higher shutter speed and low ISO
          But when tripod was left over the reviewer gave an edge to G5 again coz of brighter image I mean that's a bit of overexposed and details (16 mp vs 12 Mp u obviously gonna get more detail on the prior)

          Reviewer should have given practical edge to S7 coz not everyone takes tripod and shoot images out there

              By golly, the childish comments on here are unbelievable. It's just a phone FFS! Anyway, they are both brilliant cameras so I doubt anyone will be unhappy with either. I do think the audio recording on the S7 sounds a lot better though? That is the only clear difference between the two that I can see.

                Results of the tests done, clearly and unequivocally, that the phone from LG, is higher than the Samsung.

                    In the end switch to 12mp is a mistake..........
                    16mp is perfect .

                      And no,G5 wins even in handheld shots,except the indoor one.... but that one is just one side of the stick(where S7 excels).What about the other side? Good lightning conditions?
                      We already know the answer,even it forerunner SGS6 will wipe the floor with the S7... and G5 is even better.

                                  LG G5 lost the overall battle.
                                  Let's see what HTC one M10 has to offer.
                                  S7 is the winner this year and kudos for it to bring the best phone in Q1 instead of at the end of the year like Apple.

I'm just not buying it. This is all a lg promotion. I really don't care about how good the camera is I can't wait to get my hands on that sexy s7 in black onyx.

                                      The King of photo, is LG 5. Every professional in the field, looking at these pictures, see immediately who is King, that is understandable to laymen who cry here, fans of Sammy, namely, LG IS THE BEST.
