1. Introduction
So this year has opened with a BANG in the mobile space - Mobile World Congress, the first major mobile event of the year, saw two of the biggest names in the Android space quite literally going head-to-head, launching their much-anticipated next-gen flagship handsets on the very same day.
LG took the innovation route and created a phone with limited modularity. It may not be at Project Ara level, but also unlike Ara, it is consumer-ready. We have two modules so far - a camera battery grip and a high-quality audio DSP. LG (and partners) have a chance to keep the G5 fresh by releasing new modules.
Samsung walked off the beaten path last year, this launch was all about polish. Or more precisely about putting back what the S6 took away. Samsung's identity has always been "all and every feature" and the Galaxy S7 edge resumes this tradition. The only thing we can think of that the S7 lacks is stereo speakers.
The LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 are arguably two of the biggest Android handsets of the year. Google’s Nexus 2016 devices are probably next on most people’s lists, then Sony’s, then HTC and then, bringing up the rear, the likes of OnePlus, Huawei and BlackBerry -- it is apparently making two Android phones in 2016.
Aside from these, the space will likely be dominated by Apple’s iPhone 7 -- this year is a design change year, after all, and they’re always big ones, sales-wise. However, I do believe both LG and Samsung made enough of a splash at MWC 2016 with their respective flagships that A LOT of users in 2016 could well be drawn towards them over Apple’s iPhone 7.
But which of these two handsets is the best?
Let’s find out!

2. My personal experience
Galaxy S7 Edge Rocks....!I Pre-order it. And I received it 10 days before releasing date. Which is awesome.
As a design it is pretty much same as Galaxy S6 except the outline of camera.
As a performance, it is very fast. Much faster than Galaxy S6 Edge. (Before I had galaxy s6 edge).
There is also improvements in touchwiz, which are very useful.
Always on Display is really a impressive and useful feature.
I don't understand why Samsung cant drop the button & the capacitive touch buttons...
while android has evolved so much already, that the controls are on the inside of the screen. Only Samsung & other Chinese phones still use off-screen controllers
the real android has the controls inside the screen & so are other compliant brands that sells & their devices that follow the real android format gives more fluidity than the touchwiz.
After 3 months the battery life is that much good as Samsung or Sony models. So I bought the extra new battery. But still it’s the same very fast it gets discharging. So you guys go for the other phone models to buy.
You know that is more than likely going to reduce the life span of your bat right? The reason these companies don't give you that option anymore (removing the bat), is because they want you to keep upgrading your phone.
It will use more power as its way better graphically than the mali.
My S7 makes 130580 on Antutu, Not that it is important but in Your review result is nearley 10% lower?
Samsung can hold this L. LG G5 stomps the S7 and S7 Edge.
How do you know the G5 is the same cost as the S7? LG hasn't announced the price of its phone yet! In fact the G4 was at least $50 to as much as $180 less than the S6 when they were both new and I'm pretty confident that will be the same with the G5 vs S7 if not even more of a difference in price for the favor of the G5. You should try not to speak on things you don't know about, because you don't know what you're talking about.
The S7 is superior in every way and looks like a finished product. The G5 is more of a prototype being sold to unsuspecting people who don't know better.
Like sony, only z5 compact is proof’s no it gives only 30 minutes of usage in 6ft of underwater so u see that as a advantage. it’s just a plus point. Samsung just adding a sd slot and good battery that they no they had a problem in s6 g5 world 1 modular mobile like iPhone.. Which have a great use for a change
