Based on the results, and from my own vote, seems like G5 is a winner. But if I have to choose which phone would I bring as camera replacement when I'm on a trip, probably would go with S7 / S7 Edge or iPhone 7 / 7 Plus. The G5 battery is the problem.. And I don't usually like carrying extra battery or external power pack. Would not even look at the XZ. Sony is currently in the funk. I'm still using Z3 Compact, mainly because of the awesome battery life and small form factor. Other than that, nothing special about this phone including the camera.

AnonD-599940, 20 Oct 2016While the tests were done well, it's hard to find this cred... moreYou're obviously living in a cave. G5 camera wasn't news worthy cos the phone wasn't news worthy. Gsmarena has compared the cameras before, YouTube has, other top sites have and g5 consistently came on top

''The Galaxy S7 takes a different approach to the focusing race and has a phase detection sensor at each pixel - a total of 12 million phase detection agents. Beat that, triple-hybrid Sony!''
consider it beaten because xperia has much better autofocus system overall , for example in video and especially at 60 fps S7 struggles a lot to focus while Xperia does focus almost instantly...

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2016Thanks for the detailed explanation.
So based on the test,... moreG5 is better at good light and 4k. S7 is better at low light and 1080p.
I'd say if you like taking shots of scenary on holidays and stuff, the g5 will mainly do better. But s7 would be better for the average day to day use if you want a camera that works good in any light condition and has reliable auto focus.

While the tests were done well, it's hard to find this credible without being able to confirm the EXIF data. I love LG but the timing of this post is a bit amusing given Samsung's Note7 fiasco. Nobody was praising G5 at launch for its camera quality :P

Forget the somewhat downgraded i7 and XZ, LG and Samsung phones still have the best cameas.

To me the G5 is the overall winner and I'm not even a fanboy. Well done LG, now go make solid overall phones and not weird clunky stuff that falls apart. A good design, something unique with top of the line specs and you'll become interesting.
