Samsung Galaxy S7 vs le LG G5: which one is better

Samsung and LG have regaled us. The two Korean manufacturers have officially presented their new smartphones.By early afternoon, it was discovered the two official videos of the LG G5. Later, it is Samsung who has unsheathed the two versions of its Galaxy S7. But who says flagships, said new comparisons. And on this point, there are many things to say. Performance level, it is difficult to distinguish between the LG G5 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 since they are both, equipped with Snapdragon 820 in Europe. Another point in common, the Galaxy S7 and assemble the G5 chip with 4GB of RAM. As for design, the two manufacturers have adopted different strategies.

• performances:

This is the point where the two machines are distinguished least, both equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC 820, and 4Gb and RAM, which should provide a good user experience.

• software:

Not unsurprisingly there too, both terminals are running the latest version of Google's operating system: Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

• Battery life:

On this point, the approaches differ. Note to begin with its slightly smaller screen and higher capacity battery (3000 mAh), the Galaxy S7 would tend to do better than the G5, whose screen is 0.2 inches taller and whose battery does not exceed the 2800 mAh. However, note that in Samsung , there is no question of a removable battery, which is the case with its competitor.

• Photo :

One of the most important points, and we find two completely different approaches: First Samsung , which favors larger pixels than in the past on a 12-megapixel sensor, which promises thereby better quality image, especially in low light. And secondly at LG , we are witnessing the return of double image sensors, but not just dedicated to creating artificial depth effects. Korean first chose a 16-megapixel sensor, also stabilized with a wide-angle to 135 °, while a second 8 megapixel sensor captures 78 °. The idea is to combine the performance of both sensors for better shots in low light, but also to take pictures of wider landscapes. The idea is promising.

• Additional features:

This is where the two manufacturers are supposed to stand out. At Samsung , premium design, with a good smartphone, glass, features a facade in fingerprint sensor and especially a waterproof smartphone. For his part LGopted for a metal that has rarely worked on his mobile, and inaugurates the round dorsal fingerprint sensor. But where the brand stands out is by its particularly interesting module system, since the Cam Plus includes an extra battery grip and controls dedicated to the photo. Another, created with Bang & Olufsen, includes a DAC for the Hi-Res audio listening. But it must be kept in mind that these modules are sold separately and may cost a small fortune.

So what do you think ? Which of its smartphones stand out and can claim to be THE smartphone of the year?
