I don't care about the poll results. The Mi5 is the clear winner for me....

Yeah, Mi5 > S7 with outdated specs.

How does the S7 have outdated specs. The only thing you could consider outdated is the micro usb (which is really not).

the snapdragon 820 doesn´t support the features of usb 3.1.

SD810 and 808 does, so why not 820. Lumia 950/XL has USB 3.1

Hm, nope they do not, only USB 3.0

PA and GSMArena says USB 3.1

The XiaoMi Mi 5 is a poor man's choice instead of an iPhone, S7, G5, Xperia XP.

How S7 and S7 edge? there is nothing unique or extra ordinary in these phones. All phones are typical as previous year, with upgraded specs only.

Only G5 is a unique device which has at least something unique to talk about. So winner of the show should be G5. You can put S7 and S7 edge in the winner of sales category. Bcoz both will out sell G5 easily.

Samsung done more r and d to ip68 there phones and make that cam tech, they got 3 1sts in phone cams and the r and d that gone I tot he edge desig is big time with the he way this now removes the edge problems now making it so users ther did not like it before now like it in the hand, then than anything lg come up within the G5

63. DoggyDangerous (Posts: 1028; Member since: 28 Aug 2015)

whatever samsung has done, was done before as well. ip68 is not a new thing in phones. Camera is an improvement, just like it was improved in every generation, so not a new thing. Samsung made edge last year as well, so its nothing new. Edge was spectacular in last year's MWC but this year, it is a repeat of previous year.

LG come up with totally unique idea, so G5 is the show winner. I think your hormones are boiling little high with fan boyism??? Apologies, but you are sounding like that.

Looking at the way the things have transpired over the past couple of days from MWC, Samsung seems to be getting doomed(and I don't like this), when that happens the whole android bandwagon will be either just breaking even or in losses making Apple the single player in the market which could eventually be a problem to consumers.

Is the Lumia meant to look like the Xperia? Was that your point??

Agree

33. thunderc8 (Posts: 98; Member since: 15 Dec 2014)

i agree.
Prenium design,dual camera,removable battery,micro sd, extra modules,ir blaster... must i continue?
The removable battery it self along with the sd820/4gb ram gives this phone a 5 year run for those who keep their phones for as long as they work well and run everything fast.

In addition to that, if you wanna keep a phone for a very long time then AMOLED should be avoided because of the burn-in short life span of the screen.

Wrong

50. DoggyDangerous (Posts: 1028; Member since: 28 Aug 2015)

Dual camera is sounding gimmick to me bcoz secondary 8mp camera doesnt have OIS and even doesnt have auto focus function. LG cheap out on this and chose to fool ppl for sale. Average joe dont know the importance of auto focus and OIS, they will only see two cameras and probably will say, "wow this phone has dual camera".

I hate the trend of cheaping out on components. Samsung cheap out by putting 1/2.5" rather 1/2" and LG cheap out by putting same old 16mp of G4 instead of improving it further.

If only they hadn't removed the IR blaster and gone with USB type C. It would have been almost perfect.

Who said that S7 don't have IR blaster? Check your info again. S7 have IR blaster

Sources? It clearly doesn't have an IR window at the top like every other IR-equipped Samsung device according to images of the top I've seen.
