LG G5, the true competitor of Samsung Galaxy S7? – BFMTV.COM

After several devices in the same style, LG reinvents its top model. This year, the finishes aluminum succeed the plastic or leather covers. A tasteful effort since the G5 actually has a premium appearance. The smartphone seems just out of factory without going through the paint box, with a made very plain. If the view is subjective, we enjoyed his pace.

as the Samsung Galaxy and HTC S7 10, the definition of the screen is pushed with Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels ). The result is obviously very good but we would have appreciated more brightness. Many times we wanted to go back to 100% before adjustment bar to find that she already was. Especially since despite this weakness, endurance is not exceptional. According to our tests, the autonomy of the G5 is 30% lower than the Galaxy S7.

but the LG device makes up in part on power. With its Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM, it outperforms slightly S7 and HTC with 10 datasheets are roughly equivalent. For the average user as for the big player, it will be difficult to tell the difference in use. One thing is certain, the G5 is a racing and it is very pleasant to handle.

Like the Chinese manufacturer Huawei and its P9, LG put this year on a dual camera sensor. The first book is a classic, great shots rather satisfactory while the second is for taking wide angle shots. A function that landscapes lovers will appreciate. If photo quality is not the best on the market, the overall proposal smartphone makes it an interesting choice. It also manages good video capture and can shoot in 4K.

During the presentation, the south Korean manufacturer has greatly leveraged the modular aspect of G5. But few accessories are available, except for a grip that just clipped on the unit for easy shooting (pressing a physical button) and a DAC that will change life as most music lovers sharp. Finally, the most interesting remains being able to change batteries on the fly, by lifting the bottom of the smartphone.

If the modular aspect is pure marketing hype, the LG G5 is an excellent smartphone. It is not the best picture, nor endure more. But it offers a very pleasant experience thanks to its power and its wide angle sensor. Its design has also convinced us. While some have criticized Samsung, HTC or even Apple of failing to take risks for their latest devices, it’s definitely not the case with LG.
