HTC 10 vs. LG G5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S7: Camera Shootout

11 May, 2016
Cameras are just about the only thing in a smartphone that gets a meaningful upgrade each year and we keep a close eye on that. HTC was late to the Galaxy S7 vs. LG G5 party, though, so let's have a do-over!

    Fitbri, 15 May 2016Its plenty good enough to be honest and there is much else ... moreI never said it implied anything negative about the awesome htc 10 device or any of the three here....or any device period.
    Or that brought on all that or picking at straws. Just a simple fact. The photos themselves tell a slightly different story than the words written. Not hugely in most cases but enough.
    That's simply it

      Anonymous, 13 May 2016Not according to the photosIts plenty good enough to be honest and there is much else to like.
      I find it interesting when people overall compare stats for stats sake, whilst they have there place, seriously when I bought an apple, it is a beautiful phone but in many ways does not stack up against some other units out there stat wise, yet it sells well. The HTC 10 is a kick ass, smart, well designed, well built, great feel and look phone and I think its picking at straws to find fault with what overall is one of the most stellar mobile devices ever created n my opinion and I look at things unbiased. There are so many other devices that sure they operate but just don't have the same satisfaction. A small 4 cylinder car has wheel just like a BMW or an Audio. But do they feel the same or have the same enjoyment lifestyle wise. I think not. Here is to device enjoyment. :-)

        AnonD-442781, 14 May 2016It gets a bit complicated when you start trying to look at ... moreyes comparison can be extensive....but they do make reviews on the phones separately..can they do this side by side?? rather than making timesaver editions of these review :-|
        there are video review on youtube of these phones like...s7 edge after a month of use....those are more important than just unpacking a revieew unit and a few benchmarking results...benchmarks give an IDEA of the phones performance and capacity, a typical phone(mine) has either data or 3g on all the time, brightness somewhere just above mid slider, around 2-3 gb songs, some 10-20 video, some of which are movies, a few games, an ebook reader, a comic book reader, fb messenger, 3rd party browsers like ucweb or dolphin....now gsma does endurance ratings like this...but thats only for battery..how does it feel to use the phone..thats what i want to know..i'll probably get an answer that i should check them out in a showroom...but in the showroom even asus zenfone worked superfast, the camera looked awesome..now after 5 months use..i just want to throw it down 5 floors

          One thing that you should probably know is that neither the s7 or the HTC 10 even have an ir blaster. Only lg kept it.

              gsma, can we get a vs review between these 3 phones, along with some accessories(like the clear cover for s7edge, addons for g5) in addition to the photo shootout??? photos are not just the only determining factor for buying a phone
              a real life review will be appreciated, for example the ir blaster...how good is it how many times did you guys use it? does it feel that you can get rid of your regular remotes??
              another hows the htc camera vs a point-and-shoot camera, how about against an entry level dslr?
              do these phones get 3rd party accessories like the iphone for manual optical zoom??
              such a review will be more useful than just a spec shootout

                  Just curious to ask: Do you have 4G unlimited data plan (no data and speed limit) from any carrier in US?
                  For example: about 20 usd per month?

If everything has to be done objectively and purposefully, one should avail all three phones and use each according to the circumstances each is best out of

                      No need to fight here for who is the winner. These are just smartphones. If you have too much time, why not got to help the needed.

                            My favourite is Sony. But from this 3 phones I think LG G5 is the best.

                                      I am a flagship kind of a fan regardless of a brand. I love the innovation of both LG and HTC but Samsungs seamless overall performance is undeniably good. If your kinda photographer type I think you can cling on the G5 for those excellent sound lover HTC10 is a done deal. If your kinda beach and on the go type S7 likely a huge catch. Overall cameras are all excellent.Thats only my honest take.
