Even before this year’s MWC fair, taking place in Barcelona two very important companies from the mobile device market presented new models of its flagship smartphones. The thing in question, of course, Koreans, Samsung and LG. I must admit that the world for many months awaiting the release of both the Galaxy S7, and G5 – leaks, both controlled and unplanned clearly heated the atmosphere and born much speculation that users can not complain about boredom. We’re after the presentation of these devices, so it is worth the tasks yourself the question: which one is better, which will work better as equipment for even the most demanding applications? Both premieres also show us some important changes taking place in the mobile market and that will most likely increase.
Samsung and LG showed very strong players. Which one is better, and after that willing to reach? The fight is even.
This comparison can be seen in many areas, and one of the most important of which is the capacity offered, so important for the booming mobile entertainment – games for smartphones and tablets need no longer in any way ashamed of their audiovisual fixtures, and yet the development of virtual reality will make them attractive only increase. Race performance so still continues, although at the same time is not as spectacular as until recently. The examples are not the end of the successful systems such as extremely hot Snapdragon 810 showed that the matter must be approached with the head – it is necessary to reduce the process, not only increasing the number of cores and clock speed.
Both players have the latest processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 equipped with four 64-bit cores Kryo maximum timing 2, 2 GHz and Adreno 530 graphics chip – it’s a big step forward in question because of the process of 14 nm FinFET used instead of the older generation of 20 nm. Qualcomm boasts that the new system provides twice the CPU performance and a 40% higher performance GPU with greater energy efficiency. Will it be the case, a matter of particular tests, in particular the long-term load: it is not enough because to carry out a single test to show whether the equipment is throttling. It is also difficult to say what it used a manufacture in order to reduce heat release and how will affect the construction itself devices.
Galaxy S7 is available in two versions with different processors, LG has set while on Snapdragon 820 .
at this point it should be noted, however, something else – in the case of Samsung Galaxy S7 there are two versions and the European market will use this system equipped with a proprietary Exynos 8890 SoC, this is composed of eight cores: four A53 clocked at 1.6 GHz and four Exynos M1 variable timing 2.3 – 2.6 GHz, depending on the load (for example eg. Turbo Boost Intel processors) with the graphics chip Mali T880MP12. Also, this chip was performed in the 14 nm. Do you find it better than the Snapdragon 820? We have to wait for thorough testing of both variants of the Galaxy S7, because they will be the best indicator of this. The differences probably will not, however, big business can not because to sell theoretically the same smartphone offering a completely different performance only, depending on the location where we will buy it.
Smartphones are equipped with up to 4 GB of RAM. Someone might say that this is an exaggeration, it is not useful for anything. And I’m happy with this choice, because it may mean that soon even in the economic standard devices will become the 2 GB of RAM. Many people psioczy the demand of Android on memory for Java, but the situation does not look bad: the system automatically manages memory, as happens every spare megabyte RAM memory is … wasted. The more we have the more, the more applications can keep in memory, so when returning to them will not need to reload the data and hard work the processor – to increase the memory capacity means not only more comfortable to work (Chrome with multiple tabs is no longer a problem), but also somewhat greater energy efficiency. In the case of these devices with multitasking worry we do not have, we have a definite draw.
Yes S7 and G5 offer screens that display continuously the most important information and notifications of our applications.
Both devices offer us close to each other screens. Samsung remained at the size of 5.1 “LG meanwhile reduced last year’s flagship and this time opted for a 5.3″ – shows that users do not really want to massive equipment and the selection decision fabletu must be thought out, determined. Others, however, are technologies. Samsung puts on a Super AMOLED display, LG Meanwhile, the so-called. IPS Quantum. Resolutions are identical and are 1440 x 2560 px – again draw and although Galaxy S7 has a slightly higher pixel density, but the difference will be noticeable even to the trained eye. Of course, the differences are and it’s important: AMOLED can display a perfect black, IPS offers for lower power consumption when displaying white.
The overall choice in this particular category depends on the tastes: Samsung has long been an option to calibrate the screen, so no need to worry about such. too gaudy colors. Both flagship offer us features continuous display of important information and notifications without significantly attacking the battery. While on the AMOLED-zie was not a problem, it LG had to work on a special coating that allows this kind of work. The whole, however, and went to the function can be used on both smartphones. A similar question of the system, although this should not be a surprise: both are running the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow and as a flagship can count on updates, at least for a time from the official release.
Wireless not a problem slightly differently can be with the latest USB Type-C, which is not yet so popular.
Both smartphones deign us full connectivity with the world: support LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC also have headphone jacks (I mention this because rumors say that Apple’s new iPhone wants to give it up). There were light sensors, gyroscopes, fingerprint readers, wireless charging options, as well as an accelerometer. Galaxy S7 can furthermore boast waterproof, compliance with IP68. Both appliances offer us a built-in 32 GB of memory (although knowing life a lot less for use by the user), as well as the possibility of using the microSD card slot. While LG opted for the latest USB Type C, whereas Samsung has remained a standard micro USB 2.0 – which is better? This is a contentious issue, the new standard is not yet as widespread and will require, in some cases the adapter, with time will become a obvious choice.
In both smartphones can rely on excellent image quality, flash LED, autofocus, recording 4 K, as well as optical stabilization, but still cameras are different. The Samsung can be found on many single lens 12 megapixels, while the front 5 megapixels. LG offered while the unusual combination of 16 megapixels + 8 megapixels enough, and 8 megapixels in the front – for fans selfie can be an advantage, experiment with double lens on the back, however, requires accurate testing to determine if it is actually successful. Can boast while two producers for the fact that they do not go in a senseless war of megapixels – the enormous density of pixels on a tiny matrices used in mobile brings in fact do more harm than good. The struggle continues while the better aperture, which provide more light. After all, even without testing, we can say that for the average user, both devices should be no problem to replace a compact camera. Again tie?
Samsung is a lightweight evolution, LG undergone considerable changes, but unfortunately minus – will suffer convenience, and the smartphone will cease to stand out.
Some differences They occur in the case of batteries. Galaxy S7 offers 3000 mAh, LG G5 while the more modest 2800 mAh. With a larger screen may mean slightly shorter working time. The LG advantage will be that the possibility of replacing the battery if necessary, but if we buy the flagship for a few thousand in order to lug it to the accessories of this type? Samsung is not pushed the boat in terms of changes in design and holds up the regimen used for years – housing is a combination of metal and glass, beneath the screen while we find buttons that are characteristic. As regards the LG … oh here it has changed a lot and in my opinion, for the worse – the company which is true also went toward the metal trim, but the way she decided to break up with buttons and volume control placed enough and I moved to the side of the device. As a former holder of the LG G2, which debuted just with the unusual layout I think it’s a shot in the foot.
of course, LG have somewhere to put a fingerprint reader, but if this could not be done differently, better? That system was just comfortable and now I miss such a key location. This goes hand in hand with the slightly larger dimensions than the Galaxy S7 (142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm with Samsung and 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7 mm in LG), which further does not bode well. Yes, most smartphones have buttons on the side, but LG’s nice in this field stood, and now … I unfortunately do not. One can not however deny any smartphone: they are prepared to work with additional accessories. Both the producers presented their VR goggles, and camera 360 degrees, which can bind with them. LG offers additional modules to extend its capabilities – you can see now that the battle will be fought just on the market VR and accessories as an additional revenue opportunities for manufacturers.
What to spend thousands of dollars? The choice has never been so difficult – this time decides not specifications, and accessories.
Which smartphone is better, after that in your opinion should reach to the portfolio? So far it is difficult to talk about any favorites: both devices are very similar, both in terms of technical specifications and offered performance and features. These are not however the only such monsters performance available on the market. At some point, one might even say: wind blew boredom. It is true that some of the available options promise to be very interesting, but we still need a little time on the proliferation of virtual reality. At the moment the market while slightly stabilized and difficult to emerge favorite. We encourage you to discuss, as well as the expectations of our tests – as soon as possible, inevitably we will try to answer the questions bothering you.
