        thor, 10 Sep 2016s7 is betterS7's are both crap!
        Only drawback it's battery capacity but then its removable (y)
        My sister and her boyfriend have S7 edge and a S7 so I've compared both three phones.
        BTW go try to control your air-con or the dvb receiver or the crappy hotel tv's with an S7 :D :D
        With the G5 you can! ( ir port)

            It would be nice if the android N update for LG G5 makes the fingerprint scanner more usable. Like trigger for camera shot, scroll function, app switcher, etc. Yes it will be having multi window function and I am expecting more for this expensive phone. I regret I bought it instead of Huawei P9 Plus. Battery life sucks.

              Love LG phones... This is my fourth phone and only issue is the power button malfunction! This is a severe issue once the phone powers off...no way to power on! Why is this still an issue

                  I just got it yesterday. Great phone and really underrated by reviewers. Does anybody know if there will be a module that just extends the battery. It would be better than having a second battery in your bag.

                        Bought this G5 the day before yesterday.. sold my iphone 6s+ and one plus 3. G5 has an outstanding camera.. used s7 edge a months back.. i think, G5 is equipped with a better camera than s7 edge. Also has an wide angel OIS lens. Picture quality is superb . In fact according budget it delevers the best than S7 family and one plus 3 or MI5. One plus 3 is lacked behind due to its below grade selfie cam .

                                For the last 2 years I've been using an Lg G2 so the G5 will be easier to get used to.
                                The salesman at Verizon told me he sees a lot of people that bring back their S7 Edge with broken screens, the G5 has gorilla glass 4 so I think it will be more durable if I drop it.
                                S7 Edge has a bigger battery and wireless charging but the G5 has a replaceable battery and USB C will charge to 80% in 25 minutes, with an extra battery no need to wait to charge at all.
                                G5 is a lot less expensive.
                                S7 Edge is water resistant, G5 is not.
                                Both have 4g ram and 32g mem. and Snapdragon 820 processors

                                I chose the G5.
                                I think I made the right choice. I'll keep it away from water and hopefully I wont miss the convenience of wireless charging.

                                    I had this US factory unlocked lg g5 rs988 for less than a month my carrier is metropcs, basically t-mobile, and I noticed that the wi-fi calling, that is really important to me, wasn't active, long story short I called both costumer cares, lg and metropcs, and even though lg ensured me that the phone was VoiLTE capable, only after that in front of me the metropcs tech support corporate called lg they told them that is not activated from lg because is not branded.
                                    You do not buy a regular lg g5 unlocked but an under powered version.
                                    Misleading approach, lg promised that when they will have a patch they are going to send me over the release. when? I will never know.
                                    BTW this is the third lg that I have a problem with (g2, g4, and g5), maybe the reliability is a problem.
