Comparison review
The Galaxy S7 is a little bit better than LG G5, with a 79.5 score against 76.1. The Galaxy S7 design is a little bit thicker but a little lighter than the LG G5, and both of them were only released 1 months apart. The Galaxy S7 features a better looking display than LG G5, because although it has a quite smaller display, and they both have an equal resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, the Galaxy S7 also counts with a bit greater pixel number in each inch of screen.
LG G5 counts with a much greater memory to store more apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S7, and although they both have exactly the same internal memory, the LG G5 also has an external SD slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. Samsung Galaxy S7's processor is very similar to LG G5's processing unit, both have the same number of cores and a 4 GB RAM memory.
The LG G5 has a slightly better camera than Galaxy S7, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not so good for low-light captures and a smaller sensor shooting worse quality videos and photographs, and they both have the same video resolution and the same video frame rate, the LG G5 also counts with a lot better 16 mega pixels resolution back facing camera.
The Galaxy S7 has a bit better battery performance than LG G5, because it has a 7% bigger battery size.
Galaxy S7 not only is the best phones of the ones we are comparing here, but it's also very cheap compared to the other ones, which makes this phone an obvious call.
