LG G5 features a way bigger storage for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S5, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal memory capacity, the LG G5 also has an external SD slot that supports up to 1,95 TB. The LG G5 counts with a camera that is just as good as Samsung Galaxy S5's camera, and although the LG G5 has a larger aperture to take better low light images and video, they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, the same sensor size, the same video frame rate and a same resolution back-facing camera.
