LG G5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7: A rebel and a stunner

29 April, 2016
This is a battle of innovation versus refinement. LG let the designers off the leash and they went wild on the LG G5. Samsung brought in the perfectionists to polish the Galaxy S7.

AnonD-217536, 30 Apr 2016I bought the S7 Edge first, then when LG G5 was available, ... moreSealed battery is terrible. It hardly makes the phone slimmer, yet when the battery rots away inside its still cage you'd *have to* throw away the phone, or service it destroying its structural integrity.

It's a lose-lose scenario that only benefits the companies. Honestly, consumers should stop buying things directly made to cause them harm (cause them to throw away perfectly usable phones)...

          i read in another sites that the lg g5 has auto adjustment gain based on the headphone that will be used and thats the reason why the volume is not louder than the s7

                    In this review, lg g5 camera win over s7 is not because, lg g5 has sharper image, able to let more light in and thus brighter image, less noise in the picture, and more dynamic range in the G5. The G5 won because according to the reviewer the G5 has a more subtle everything compare to the s7 which is more vivid, and the G5 photo is more to his/ her liking so the G5 won... I myself prefer the more vivid result in a photo...

                      I bought the S7 Edge first, then when LG G5 was available, bought it too.
                      But now i have the Oppo R7 Lite. WHY?

                      Because as an average user, all my requirements are met.
                      Sealed Battery... Check ! - I dont go nuts on the phone all day. Even 2000+ mah gets me thru the day... a battery pack is just a reach a way.
                      Thin Smooth Aluminium Profile... Check! - Very annoying having to wipe the S7 every now and then, and the G5, well that tiny gap is distracting, it just seem to widen... damned lint from my pocket keeps getting snagged. The thought of buying expensive add-ons just to further losen the connection therefore gap is just a no-no for me
                      Hi Quality music... - Check ! - I jus play my flac files together with a Plantronics BT earphone and I am GOOD TO GO. When you enjoy music, DAC and all that aint mean jack squat. Listen to ENJOY the music, not to go looking for flaws 99% users don't even recognize.

                      There You Go. I am the average joe. the average consumer who finds it not worthwhile keeping those phones. I lost some cash in doing so, but the experience will help me to save more later in life.

                      There is more to life than smartphones

                            Stop all the flaming...... G5 or S7, either of them are so much better than the freaking windows phone which I'm holding. Be glad that you have either of them in your hands. Can't wait to throw away my crappy windows phone once my contracting period eligibility is up.

                              AnonD-404798, 30 Apr 2016just tell me are you Shamesung or LG fanboy ?neither. try again. or better yet. stop trying because you'll never be more than a halfwit.

                                    Mkdc, 30 Apr 2016i will not agree with the g5 part of your comment. It is th... moreI can't see anything innovative in G5 besides the option to detach bottom and have removable battery. those modules for camera and other stuff are useless , not innovative at all and anybody could make it but it's not gonna be profitable. because of dual camera phone is fugly ! if I had a choice between G4 and G5 I would choose G4 .

                                      Peronal trust the phone from LG, as it can work without any problems. In S7 after I've tested both variants, feel like bend, if it breaks when you did in your hand, and the category pics on low lighting, LG categorig is superior, not to mention the King 820 processor which is LG, compared to exynos's loser on S7.
