Being the flagship devices, they both fall under the same category so let’s see how they compare against each other.
Design
Samsung has gone for a lot of premium materials this time and have made the S7 a cracking phone not only to use but to hold as well as they have curved the glass back of the S7. This makes the S7 lighter and also one of the best phones to hold in the hand. The LG G5 also has some premium materials and is made up of mostly metal. G5 have a curved glass screen on the top which doesn’t really do anything but just looks a bit different. Overall, LG G5 is a great looking device but nothing when compared to the Samsung S7.
Camera
Both the devices have great cameras but again, the S7 beats the G5 in this. However, it is worth noting that LG G5 has a 16 MP shooter when compared to the 12 MP cameras in the S7 but the hardware and software of the S7 makes its camera a great shooter. LG G5 has a good camera as well but it doesn’t stand a chance against the S7. The Galaxy S7 has a 5 MP front shooter whereas the LG G5 has a 8 MP camera but the front camera performance is same in both of the devices.
Performance
Samsung Galaxy S7 is the pinnacle of the technology and it proves it in the performance round. LG G5 is not far away but still it is behind because of its User Interface. Both the devices are powered by Snapdragon 820 Processors and a 4 GB RAM but the LG G5 is a 2.1 GHz processor where as the S7 is clocked at 1.6 GHz processor.
Display and Battery
Samsung has fitted a qHD AMOLED display in the Galaxy S7 which can be measured at 5.1 inches which makes it an easy to operate device. On the other hand, LG G5 also has a qHD AMOLED Display but it is slightly bigger than the Galaxy S7 at 5.3 inches. Battery backup on the S7 is brilliant because of its 1.6 GHz processor but LG G5 has a decent battery life because of it’s over clocked processor.
Price
The prices for the Galaxy S7 start from Rs. 48,500 and will climb up to 56,000 for the Edge model whereas you can get your hands on a LG G5 at just Rs. 41,500.
We are sure that Galaxy S7 and LG G5 will rule the Android smartphone market, until the next flagships Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 hits the market.
