Comparisons are extremely common in the mobile industry because consumers want to know whether they should be one device over the others. Usually it’s the media doing the comparison, but today LG stepped up to do one of its own. The company is comparing the G5, which it announced alongside other devices on Sunday, with the Samsung Galaxy S7. Seven areas, because that’s the current installment of the Samsung flagship, are focused on by LG.
Of the seven areas LG compared the G5 to the Galaxy S7 in, Samsung only pulled out one victory. All of the other six areas were won or tied by LG and the G5.
- Modular Design
- Winner: LG G5
- Removable Battery
- Winner: LG G5
- 16MP Rear Camera
- Winner: LG G5
- Always-on Display
- Winner: Tie
- 5.3-inch Display
- Winner: LG G5
- Daylight Mode
- Winner: LG G5
- IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
- Winner: Samsung Galaxy S7
- MicroSD Slot
- Winner: Tie
We’ll never really know which is better until reviewing them, but even then it’s tough to declare a winner because different people have different tastes.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are already up for pre-order while the LG G5’s availability is not known outside of a potential pre-order date. Best Buy says pre-orders will be taken on March 18 before possibly shipping on April 1. Samsung, meanwhile, will ship its flagship to customers by March 11.
