Samsung Galaxy S7 beats the LG G5 by a mile in our blind camera comparison

13. maherk (Posts: 6321; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

I might be wrong about it, but doesn't the V10 has the same sensor as the G4 and G5?
As for the test, clearly the S7 produce the better pictures, but the G5 is no slouch either. The G5 still produced amazing photos, plus it got another trick up it's sleeve, and that is the fantastic wide angle sensor.

It doesnt make sense for LG not to include its manual video features from the V10. If the G5 is the flagship, and is fully capable and then some to handle the video features of the V10, then LG shouldnt intentionally keep it. The S7 does have all video and photo features from the Note line, there isnt a difference. I think by the time LG realizes that it should update the G5 with video features, it'll be too late. The G5 is already getting sketchy reviews regarding it's build quality compared to other high end flagships, so LG's video feautes form the V10 could have given it a little more candy to attract buyers.

They left out manual video, rear curtain flash sync and worst of all, they left behind a phone :P

The V10 was a step in the right direction, but someone in production and design seriously thought the G5 was a better follow up than the V10.

Didn't LG say that the V10 was going to have a sequel? At first I thought that the G5 was replacing the design language of the V10, but if that's the case then it's not something to worry about. Though they still need to suss out some styling changes for the G line in its next iteration

What happens when you take away the over contrasting/saturating algorithms used by Samsung to enhance photos?

61. sachouba (Posts: 256; Member since: 08 Jun 2014)

Actually, you also pay for the algorithms of the camera, when you buy a smartphone, not only for the sensor (just look at Sony's smartphones).
And actually, I wouldn't buy a $700 smartphone that only shoots RAW photos. :(

It's not like LG can't do the same if that's your definition of a great photo. Apparently most readers prefer the Samsung look.

most readers here Jumping Jack many other website give oposite result.

Lol...Butt hurt? Links?

71. dazed1 (Posts: 751; Member since: 28 Jul 2015)

You use manual mode, and then its even easier to destroy ANY smartphone on the market.

80. marorun (Posts: 5029; Member since: 30 Mar 2015)

Manual mode ( for picture ) is better on the G5 than S7..

104. DerryAhmad (Posts: 296; Member since: 05 May 2012)

Proof? The S7 has about the same feature as the G5 in manual mode for still photos.
Also, manual mode is more difficult to judge since we cannot apply the same settings for both phones.
Each probably has different settings to obtain maximum photo quality.

Doesn't matter what they're doing. It's working.

It takes amazing pics.

78. marorun (Posts: 5029; Member since: 30 Mar 2015)

One of the few time Unordinary is right.

You guys never saw those place they took pictures in so you dont know what reality look like.

The biggest fault of the S7 is its transform reality to a point the picture look better than what you see in real life.

So if you looking for realistic colors , contrast ect the s7 not for you.

89. iushnt (Posts: 2977; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)

We looking for great pictures. It's a treat when it looks better than real life.. We all know you hate Samsung :)

90. Unordinary (unregistered)

Yet you guys get all butt hurt and cry like a bunch of schoolyard babies when there's some (EDITED) photo album released by a photographer using a Sony or Apple device lmao.

Yes, we all know who hates who lol.

That's not me..sorry..

I don't know anything much about camera but isn't the motorcycle and the red tulips photos examples of s7 camera's contrast winning over the g5?

59. JesseJames (Posts: 224; Member since: 22 Feb 2015)

The 10 camera is good, better than any htc camera this far and can hold its own now but still not as good as what is on the s7.

67. Clars123 (Posts: 1064; Member since: 16 Mar 2015)

I assume you've used the Htc 10 then?

81. marorun (Posts: 5029; Member since: 30 Mar 2015)

Love those moron who speak before seeing result.

Hahahaha, very funny.

So according to you, if you beat a one year old camera in a blind test, your camera is better.

I stand by my point still. It's just that the G5 is even worse than S7. Bring in the 6P or the HTC 10 and you'll see how bad the S7 is.

19. maherk (Posts: 6321; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

How bad the S7 is? Lol
Dude, you're becoming arrogant with statements like these. I ve seen bunch of S7 vs 6P vs whatever phone you might pick, and the overall score was ALWAYS going in favor of the S7.
You just dont want to admit you was wrong. Everyone compliments Samsung for delivering a 12mp camera with the sharpness of a 16mp one, or atleast close to it. I have the S7 Edge, had the Note 5 and S6E, my wife and brother still has the S6, and I can definitely notice how faster and brighter the images delivered by my S7E.

Again, to say the S7 is bad, you have lost all your credibility.

^and the 6P wasn't even using HDR+.

It is fast and it is bright. But the brightness is issue for me. It overexposes a lot. It may be better than s6, but that's to be expected. It can't even beat a 300$ nexus 5X, which is a shame. Not to mention the phones to come later this year.

28. maherk (Posts: 6321; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

I can copy paste atleast 10+ links that have the S7 as the winner when compared to the 6P, but you will still find a reason to hate.
Now you say it maybe better than the S6? You ve been saying the opposite since the release of the S7, so what changed?

Again, no one knows why, but you always seems to he the 1st to hate on the S7 and S7 Edge on any article of theirs.
