LG G5 vs Samsung S7
Title says it all. We're having a phone refresh at our work place and they have given the latest and greatest options of smartphones to select from. Two of them include the latest two devices.
- From what we've all seen, Samsung has made a hek of a cell phone with the S7, it has to be the best smartphone they have ever made. It's pretty much perfect in every way you can think of
- On the other hand is the LG G5, while there are many controversial posts about the finish and design of the phones, and some might find it ugly, it definitely looks like a very good phone LG has come out with.
- Coming from an LG G3, based on the screen size alone, I'd probably stick with the G5 more, but I've had a chance to use a S7 in a store and honestly I can get used to it, my wife has a S6, and I don't think the screen is a lot smaller than the G3.
- I've also researched and seen the Exynos processor being better in RAM management than the Snappy 820.
- In terms of UI, yes Samsung has come a long way with their touchwiz ui and improved it drastically on the S7, and LG taking out the app drawer is lame, but let's face it, most of us probably install a 3rd party launcher and I'm probably going to be getting Nova.
- Camera, I do take the occasional photo, but I don't rely on a cellphone camera at all, both phones offer pretty good cameras.
So with all that said, is there any reason to choose the G5 over the S7? Yes LG's battery is slightly smaller than Samsung's, but will it make much of a difference? And will it be an issue having a non-removable battery in the future. Obviously no one knows how long I work here, but in terms of future, what would you pick..
I had pretty much decided on the S7, then I got told we also now have the G5 to choose from and the decision issues all came back lol..

The S7 or even better the S7 edge. Performance. I don't bother, I doubt one can tell the difference between these two flagships. This goes for the Camera as well, unless you're a serious Photographer one is putting too much focus on it. Seriously, majority will be uploading it to social networks.
