Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G5

Technology giant Samsung’s new flagship smartphones – S7 and Galaxy S7 edge – are expected to hit the Indian market in the second week of March, sources said, as the company looks to bolster sales to buck the slowdown in smartphone industry growth.

It will also adopt a modular approach to design, so you’ll be able to pop out the phone’s bottom and swap in new hardware features.

The microSIM card on the phone utilizes Samsung’s “Duos” standard, so if you don’t want the extra memory it’s also a hybrid slot for a sim, meaning you can use two sim cards at once.

The killer feature of the slightly smaller phone (compared to the G4) is modularity. The partnership between these two enormous companies involves virtual reality, which was one of the major themes during the Samsung Unpacked event where the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were launched.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have a resistance rating of IP68, meaning they can survive 30 minutes in water to a depth of 1.5 metres.

Always On display: While Samsung has equipped the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge with QHD, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus sport an 4.7-inch HD (720p) and 5.5-inch Full HD (1080p) displays respectively.

The Samsung Gear 360 features dual fisheye lenses with 15-megapixel image sensors to capture 360-degree video content in 3840×1920 pixels resolution.

Carriers including Telstra, Vodafone and Optus will start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge from February 26.

Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge, are basically the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge of 2014 but better.

All of this should mean better results in low-light photography, and considering the S6 Edge was no slouch in this department, we’re really looking forward to putting it to the test. As for the battery, while it’s still not removable, Samsung has made it a whole lot bigger. This will bode especially well if you live in a wet or snowy climate, or if you’re just keen on having your slick, svelte smartphone accompany you on adventures out in the wild. However, the Galaxy S7 packs in a few other additional features and functionalities that the Galaxy S6 missed, making them similar only in terms of physical aspects. Aside from the built-in storage, users can further expand storage through a microSD card of up to 200GB.

All the big mobile operators are selling the phones with most contracts costing around £40.
