LG G5 counts with a bit better screen than Apple iPhone 7, because it has a little bigger display, a lot higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 and a lot greater display pixel density.
IPhone 7 counts with slightly more memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than LG G5, because although it has no external memory slot, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory. IPhone 7 has a little better performance than LG G5, although it has 2 GB less RAM memory, they both have 4 processing cores.
The LG G5 captures clearer photos and videos than iPhone 7, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the same video frame rates and a same size diafragm aperture, the LG G5 also has a back-facing camera with a way higher 16 MP resolution and a bigger sensor taking better quality photographs.
The LG G5 counts with a much better battery duration than iPhone 7, because it has 2800mAh of battery capacity instead of 1960mAh.
Although Apple iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the LG G5, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as LG G5. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Apple iPhone 7, else you can save some dollars and buy the LG G5, giving up a couple features and specs.
