Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G5 | Who is the best?
|
Droidever - We're just seeing a comparison of the official presentation of the new flagship of Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5. Today we have the pleasure to see something new and startling eyes users through the camera, the audio module, and others. Now it's time to put the people who have so far publicly the best smartphone surprising the 2016 MWC in Barcelona, and this could become a terminal of the year awards.
First of all, we will show you the characteristics with which, on paper, both devices have been presented. Later, we will detail what our impressions to such terminals:
Technical specifications
Samsung Galaxy S7
LG G5
Establishing the QHD screen
Since the last edition of the MWC we could appreciate that the resolution was going to set up in the Android scene this year was going to be 1440 × 2560. Perhaps it is too high so that the human eye can see a too-sudden change from the still well distributed, 1080 vertical lines, but it is good to know that if a screen so small can have that quality, what can we expect the in a few years?

Establishing the QHD screen
Since the last edition of the MWC we could appreciate that the resolution was going to set up in the Android scene this year was going to be 1440 × 2560. Perhaps it is too high so that the human eye can see a too-sudden change from the still well distributed, 1080 vertical lines, but it is good to know that if a screen so small can have that quality, what can we expect the in a few years?
Although both screens have the same resolution and their sizes are very similar, they use different technologies. Meanwhile, LG offers always grateful IPS panel, showing a somewhat more muted than the Galaxy SuperAMOLED S7 colors. We can't doubt that we are at best two screens of the Android market, with permission of other brands that have not yet shown their weapons.
Controlled power
After presentation on both machines, whose processors are far one iota, we more than thank the manufacturer having finally brought the latest version of the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon, the evolution of which so many headaches have given us, the 810 and their toaster effect. Meanwhile, both devices are betting on their layers of personalization, UX 4.0 and TouchWiz, not pleasing to the audience but to understand the policy of each of the companies.
For its part, Samsung continues to produce its terminal star with two versions of the processor. One, the aforementioned with the Snapdragon 820, and one with its own processor, the accompanied by the GPU Mali-T880 MP12 Exynos 8890 Octa. Versions of the G5 and the S7 Snapdragon will lead with 530 Adreno graphics chip, which will improve the experience playable, among other things.
Autonomy
LG lastra from the G3 a poor battery autonomy, if we compare it with the more direct competition. In the presentation today, and bringing to the fore certain accessories that add versatility to the terminal, LG has shown a battery of 2800 mhA and the possibility of extending it with 1200 mhA more with the extra module LG Cam Plus, putting the LG G5 with up to 4000 mhA in photo mode.
By his side, Samsung has always presumed decent autonomy of their terminals, and in the previous model managed to improve it like never before. Now, your Galaxy S7 reaches 3000 mhA, that will help us in those days in which use of mobile is quite excessive. They have said that it can last up to 2 days on a user hard. Both brands have provided with their terminals of the Always On technology, allowing the device to show basic data such as time, date, and some notifications on screen, even if they are locked, consuming a ridiculous amount of battery at the end of the day.
Photographers at the scene
Although the G4 and the S6 cameras were the best of the Android market, both companies have put their two cents in these versions to improve significantly its sensors. For his part, LG has added a new camera module, called LG Cam Plus that will enhance the photography experience by facilitating the management of the terminal with one hand and adding an extra 1200 mhA battery. In addition, added a second camera on the back, so giving us two of 16 and 8-megapixel cameras with wide angle 135° and 78°, respectively.
On the other side, the S7 camera feeds on a Dual sensor Pixel that adds a size 56% to each pixel, thus increasing the uptake of light in low light situations. It comes to my mind the Ultra Pixel HTC technology... The result of this increase will mean a revolution, adding more pixels to the strategy that the Taiwanese giant followed in its day and that not turned out very well to say.
The look of beauty
The tendency to build bodies unibody in terminals high range has arrived. Samsung already took the step in the last Edition with the S6, and now LG makes an attempt to approach, as your G5 isn't really a unique body terminal. Although LG G4 gained critical acclaim with respect to its finish of leather, LG has decided to turn towards other boundaries. At first sight it might appear so, however, and due to the presented innovation with its additional modules, the terminal is divided into two by the bottom, leaving free the removable battery called Magic Slot slot. Your price will be surely raised, is what has to risk with a modular phone.
In this case, we are left with the S7 Galaxy which, in addition, adds the certificate of IP68 protection which protects to our terminal (1.5 meters of depth for 30 minutes) and dust, that forgot to implement in the S6, but yes we could have on the S5. Perhaps because of this new LG G5 additives compartment that protection is not possible or viable today.
Conclusion
Undoubtedly are facing two of the terminals of laño. On the one hand Samsung wanted to bet on a design with a line of continuity and successful, which last year gave the title of 2015 terminal to its Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. On the other hand, LG has surprised with the presented modules, which give their battle ship a plus that people have when choosing new terminal.
High-quality construction, good cameras, acceptable batteries (on paper), and one power more that demonstrated by Qualcomm and Exynos in the latest released processors, do us realize that this year will be difficult to decant the balance in favour of one of these two devices. Still very fair and year so that other brands, more sleeping lately, make up a day were reference in certain sectors of the world of smartphones.
Although both handsets are similar in many aspects (processor, RAM, battery, screen), we will have to opt for the S7 Galaxy. Like all lover of technology that it is well built and throws much design, and if you also add IP68 protection and a good battery, no color. It is true that the glass I still find something more fragile than metal, at certain times, but this fragility is not left points to a Samsung Galaxy S7, which is again very probably become a terminal of the year.
